Personal Logo

I create this logo, I began with the pen tool to make the palette. I also used it to create the paint and the wooden and hair part of the paint brush. I used the type on a path tool to make "Victorious Designs" arched. I used the ellipse tool to make the hole in the palette and to create to gray part of te paintbrush. I made the outline of most things a darker color to add something interesting. 

To create this logo I first began with the star tool. I inserted a five point star and then arranged the pionts where I wanted them. I made the star a blue that fades. I then typed a "V", "ictorious", and "Designs" using the type tool and I selected a different typeface for each. I used the knife tool to cut the tops of the "V" and I made the letters in "ictorious" outlines. This allowed them to be deleted to show the blue color behind them which adds something special. I positioned all the words where I wanted them. 

Farmers Insurance Group Logos

To create the logo on the left, I first started with a red rectangle. I added another smaller, lighter red rectangle to the bottom corner of the orignal one. I, then, blended the two rectangles together. I chose red because it was one of the company's origianl colors. I next typed the company name. I decided to make the "F" larger to draw more attention to it and make it memorable. I used a typeface called "Aharoni Bold" for all of the words. Lastly I created the piece of wheat. To do this I used the pen tool to create the stem. Then I used the ellipse tool to create the little grains that make up the wheat. To do this I made an ellipse then converted its two end ancor points to make the points pointed. This created the grain shape. Next, I chose the colors for the grains. Lastly, I arranged all the grains to create the piece of wheat.

                                                                                                              To create the logo on the right I first picked a typeface. For "Farmers" I used "Aharoni Bold" becuause I liked the boldness of the typeface and I thought the "F" could be turned into a good key. I made "Farmers" blue becuase that is one of the company's original colors and blue seems to be a trend for insurance company logos. I then typed the rest of the words, but this time I used red and black to add something different to the design. Then I added three dots, created by using the ellipse tool in between the black words. Lastly, I worked on making the "F" into a key. To do this I added a triangle to the "F" to make look a little more like a key. I used the star tool to create the triangle. I also, added a rounded rectangle using the rounded rectangle tool to create the bottom part of the key. I used the ellipse tool to add the little white circle at the bottom of the key. I used the rectangle tool to create a small white rectangle to cover up part of the second notch on the key to make it appear shorter. Lastly, I added a thin gray rectangle to the key and blended it in. I did this to add something special to the key.

 

I really like my logos and think they turned out well.

Extra Credit

To create this pass, I started with the image on the left (front side of pass). I created a gradient mesh of different purples and a few other colors. I put this mesh on the top and bottom of the pass. Then, I used the pen tool to create the wavy line at the ends of the pass. I also added a gray rectangle to the pass. Next, I began with the text. I typed up all the words and chose a typeface for each group of words. I arranged them on the pass how I thought would be best and creative. Last, I added stars to the background. I created two different stars. Then, I dragged them into the symbol panel and made them a symbol. I used the symbol sprayer tool to add them to the image. Then, I used the symbol sizer tool to make them the size I wanted them to be on the pass.
For the right image (the back side of the pass), I began with a light purple rectangle for the background. I added four more rectangles to the pass, one gray and one purple, at each end. Next, I typed the "RR" for restroom. I made the "Rs" two different fonts. One is a large, solid "R" and the other is large but has some open space in the middle. I chose this open font to give me room to add glyphs in the open area. I typed up different glyphs and made them outlines. Then, I positioned them inside of the "R". Next, I typed up the rest of the imformation and choose a typeface for them. I choose the same type face for "Oualline", because I liked the typeface and wanted to tie together the two sides more. Lastly, I added two stars and some small circles to the top of the pass.
