While creating my logo, the most important thing I kept in mind was that the logo is supposed to reflect who I am. I'm personally a fan of peace signs, so at first I tried creating a symbol that revolved around that. However, I realized that a peace sign is a symbol/logo of it's own, so i scratched the idea. I temporarily moved onto attempting to make a logo out of my signature, which involves a heart, a cursive 'love', and 'xoxo' within the loop of the 'L'. I didn't get far, and proceeded onto something else. I ended up trying to make pictures out of the use of my initials, KED. While making the logo, I had to remember that it had to be simple yet complex. If the logo is too complicated, people get lost in the details and the logo itself is lost. Nothing is simpler than text. The most important discovery I made in the creation of my logo was that while it doesn't exactly reflect my personality as much as I wanted it to, it was fun to make and therefore worth the time and effort that I put into it. The most important information I learned from watching the provided resources were the different types of logos. They are character logos, word logos, figurative logos, and combination logos. My final logo design is a character logo, because it involves single characters and abbreviations, and isn't a complete word.
