T-shirt logo and placement idea

logo redo homework 1/29

Expanding the text was important and the shrinking of the thought bubble helped to show the slogan better.

logo part 3


This logo I was mimicking the idea behind the other logo that was used earlier by the company. I wanted something fresh and bright. The blue was used because it pops and it also is a calming color which makes the message have a happier feel to it. The thought bubble shows the ability to keep the short saying on your mind even when things get heated.

logo 2 redo




This one is smoother and less grungy than the last logo.

Logo part 2


This log is similar to the first one with the more sophisticated type and the curvy lines. Both seem to work well with the way that planned parenthood keeps designs and logos fresh but simple. I used the female body in this one to show the literal sexual presence. I added the condom in her hand to show the safer aspect of things. The simplicity again has to do with the ability to change it for multiple surfaces and other aspects.

logo part 1

This logo was created to be geared toward a more sophisticated style. The color can be easily changed and the size can be manipulated freely. The look i am trying to translate is that sex is beautiful and staying safe is just as beautiful. The "s" heart is what i chose to translate the idea of beauty, with the hearts graceful curves and slender motion it allows the idea of that similar to the graceful curves of the human body.

Planned parenthood is an organization that helps to spread the idea of using birth control during all sexual activity. They also provide more affordable health care for women that are already pregnant or suspect that they are pregnant. They also provide first and second trimester abortions, the plan b pill, and early detection pregnancy tests. They have worked hard to bring the idea of safe sex to everyone and not just relying the message of abstinence. After seeing some of the past design and even going through the layout of their website the company tends to lean towards designs that are more sophisticated and simple. But with the last logo for this campaign it does seem to be geared toward the younger audience and has a more youthful flare to it.

Safe is sexy

Safe is sexy is a way to show the public that safe sex is better than unprotected sex. The idea for my design for pp is to have something simple but still youthful kinda like the skate logo. The message needs to be relaying the message that this is not something that needs to be taken lightly. The logo needs to be easily recognized and needs to be able to be place in multiple places with the ability to vary in size greatly.

Skate


So yea logos are a fun experiment. I was trying to find a good style to go with and I think using a similar style to the skate logos would be a nice change. These logos are more stylistic and allow for a younger audience to find them appealing usually the age ranges of 13 to 25. This allows for an easy way to cover a wide range of ages through a simple but elegant logo. Also this allows for the ability to create a logo that can be compressed and expanded easily. Simplicity will be a large factor in my designs. =)

And so it begins......

Today marked a day in history but i did not watch it. I was more concerned about school starting and work than to worry about watching a speech. I do hope that the change we were promised comes swiftly but with a lot of thought put behind it. This country needs help in many things like its economy, morals, school systems, and many other things that have been neglected. As Americans we need to work towards making our communities better and by doing such we will make our nation better. We can not leave everything up to one man, it will take us all to change things for the good.
