Logo Critiques

The BMW logo stands out in my opinion. I think alot of people know exactly what this is when they see it. It might not be easy to read from far away but I still think with the color choices and design of the logo, you would be able to make out that it is the BMW logo. This seems like a serious logo and it does not look like it is for kids. I dont think this logo would be appealing to kids at all, more for the adults. I think this logo is a generla neutral logo and appeals to males or females. I agree with the color choices because i think they make the logo stand out and it looks sort of sophisticated.



The Wonka logo is a fun appealing logo. When I see the logo I automatically assume candy. I like the little hat and I think it makes the logo more fun and appealing to children. I also think of the movie "Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory" when I see this logo. The hat resembles the hat that Willy Wonka wore in the movie, and I think that most kids can relate to that. The color plays a part in the fun aspect. I think if it would of ben black or a neutral color, it wouldn't appeal to the kids as much and wouldn't be as good as a logo for candy because candy is supposed to be fun.

The Harley-Davidson logo doesn't make much sense to me. I particularly don't like this logo. It is a more serious logo but it just doesn't make sense. The shape of it looks like a police badge and I don't know what that has to do with motorcyles. This looks like a logo more designed for men. The colors are more male dominated colors. Also I think the works are too bunched together so if the logo was really small or really far away you wouldn't be able to read it or tell what is is.

The Chiquita banana logo is fun, bright, appealing logo. Whenever I see a banana I think of Chiquita banana. This logo I think is gender neutral, even with a girl in the picture. I think this can appeal to both genders and all ages. I think the color scheme is perfect. The contrast of the two colors really makes it stand out. It might be a little hard to read if you were far away or if it was reall far, but I think the colors are bright enough to where you would still be able to tell what it is, if you a lready know the logo.

The Dunkin' Donuts logo is iconic to me. I think it is just as noticable as the McDonalds logo. The colors are bright and fun and I think have a play for both genders. I also think this logo is appealing to kids. The coffee cup in the logo I think makes sense and works pefect in making it clear that it is for the most part, a breakfast food place. I think whether the logo was really small or being seen from really far away, you would still be able to recognize the logo. All in all, I think this logo is effective.

Business ideas for logos

1. Pick-A-Friend: This will be a website where you can search through thousands of people in your area to be friends with. You pick them, and they will automatically become your friend and do whatever you want them to do.


2. DD Anytime: This is a business that no matter where you are and what time it is, you are just a button away of obtaining a designated driver. All you do is press the number 3 on your phone, and a driver will be there. The only thing you have to do is give the driver the rest of your alcohol, as your payment.


3. Rent-A-Pooch: This is a company where you can pick through the many selections of dogs they have available and rent them anytime you want. Food and maintenance will be a part of the package. There are different time frames that you can keep the pup. ex: a few hours, a couple days, or one month at the most. This is for the people that want to look cool with a dog but don't want to have that responsibility of owning a dog forever.


4. Rent-A-Baby: This is strictly for single males looking to pick up chicks. A baby will be available for a max of 6 hours a day. The male has only a few places to choose from to take the baby during that time. ex. the park, the grocery store, the mall. The male is guaranteed to pick up a chick during this time, and if not, a full refund will be provided.


5. Fart Silencer: This is something you simply clip on to your underwear that silences your farts. You can also get one that blocks the stench too, for an extra price of course. Sometimes you just can't hold them in, and you don't want to be embarrassed or have to point fingers at someone else.


6. RR Gone: This is a business which installs police lights and sirens on your car so whenever you are stuck in traffic and are about to get road rage, you just beep your horn and your lights and sirens go off, then everyone moves out of your way.

Hello Bloggers

   I would like to start off by saying this is my first blog, as you can tell by the title, so I have absolutely no idea how to do this, so give me a break. This is for my beginning digital arts class so this shall be interesting...
   My name is Suzie Sheeks, I'm 19 and I am a second semester freshman here at UT. I am not really enjoying college as much I would have hoped, but maybe it will get better. This semester I am one credit short of being a full time student, which I don't mind because I work ALOT. I work at my parents golfcourse, Cheval, as a waitress. I enjoy working more then I enjoy being a student, which may be different from most students... not that anyone cares... haha
  What I hope to get out of this class is more experience in, well, digital arts. I hope to learn how to create visions of my imagination without them being stick figures or look like something that my 7 yr old god-daughter made. Honestly I took this class just for an art credit, but after the first day in class, and finding out what we are going to be doing/learning, I am pretty excited.

Here is a link to a video I made, im not sure if it is inapropriate, but I figure we are all adults and can handle this kind of humor. There is also a sequal to this video that I will post the link for right under. I also made a couple music video's which you could find on {jakejakejake1119} channel on youtube.
