Logo Analysis

 

The Express Clothing logo is a very unique and well-crafted logo as it defines the type of personality of the person who wears their brand. Their main symbol, the lion, signifies strength, pride and power, which is exactly the type of statement people try to make when wearing this brand.

The Nike logo has been around for decades and has single handedly become one of the most influential brands in the world of sport. The logo is very simple which makes it a very effective and powerful logo. Their trademark “Nike Swoosh” is usually the first image that comes to mind when a person thinks about Nike. The genius behind this logo is that no matter the size, a person can still relate this image to the company.

"Arm and Hammer" is a company which first started out as a baking soda company and branched through out the years to areas like toothpaste, detergent and cleaning products. One of the interesting facts about this company's logo is that it is a visual representation to the company name as it is literally an arm holding a hammer.

 

Kentucky Fried Chicken, abbreviated as KFC is a world wide franchise who has made a significant impact in the fast food industry. KFC is able to manipulate the market by having a great company logo. The logo of the "Cornel" gives a personal touch to the brand and leaves a sense of culture and history upon the company.

The Polo Ralph Lauren brand is an upper class brand that can be depicted in their choice of logo. By simply putting their logo as a man playing the sport of polo “Ralph Lauren” is able to pin point their target market without saying a word. Through out the years there have been many duplicates by companies who create a logo that is very similar, however, they are easy to spot and “Ralph Lauren’s” quality clothing is very hard to match.

Sketches for "Squash It"

This sketch has a squash ball followed by a colored swoosh and will be designed with
the national colors of Trinidad and Tobago

This sketch is designed to depict a squash ball made human, hitting a ball over the name

of the company and making the ball the dot of the "i" in "it"

This sketch has the "i" in it super imposed on the "S" in Squash

This sketch has a literal meaning to the company's name by having the large
"Squash" squishing the "it"

This sketch is suppose to depict a coat of arms affect to the logo

Project 1

During class four, when professor Corrigan showed us some examples of past student's projects, I would have to admit that I was pretty overwhelmed. For the first few classes we were simply creating single shapes and learning about gradients, I thought to myself "how on earth would I be able to create a picture based on shapes, without it ending up looking like a five year old did it?" However, when i got past my initial fear I began to brainstorm and thought that I would create a graphic which portrays something which I enjoy. After much thought I decided to create a graphic to depict music and by music I mean "reggae music". Reggae is something which I listen to when I need to relax and settle my mind and the first thing which comes to mind when I think about reggae is an acoustic guitar.

I began creating this graphic by first adding a background with the symbolic reggae colors of "red, gold, green and black" followed by the body of the guitar. I created the body by making two interconnected circles of different sizes and filling them with the same brown as the strokestyle. I then created two more circles with a darker shade of brown to give the effect of the inside of the guitar. After this came the neck, the strings and the bar, which comprised of one horizontal rectangle, two more interconnected circles, six lines and a vertical rectangle. I then added a radial gradient at the bottom conner of the body of the guitar to symbolize light reflecting off the wood of the guitar.

To end this graphic I decided to add a powerful quote by one of the most influential singers in reggae music, Bob Marley. This project, though stressful, turned out to be a lot of fun and I am glad I was able to make a meaningful piece.

Hi,
My name is Ryan Bayne, I am a second year  Sophomore at the University of Tampa (UT). I am from Trinidad and Tobago, and for those of you who do not know where the is, its in the Caribbean. I am a business major and I am taking this class to have a broader sense of skills which will benefit me in my future endeavors. So far the class has been very interesting and I really enjoy the hands on approach.

Before i arrived at UT I represented my country on the Junior National Squash team every year in a caribbean tournament called CASA. Through this experience i have met many life long friends who bring something different to my life.

I also have a brother who attends UT as well as many other Trinidadian friends who i have went to high school with. I am very happy to be at UT and I hope that this semester proves too be a great one.
