Hold On Tight Here I Go!

This week was fun and sometimes frustrating. I enjoyed thinking about and drawing sketches of what I though I wanted my logo to look like. I wanted it to say what my driving question asks and answers but without all the words. I took a peek at a few of the logo making software and quickly realized that you can create for free but you cannot own it unless you pay for it. I created my first draft using Logomaker.com and I'm not ready to pay for my logo just yet. Although I like the logo I created, I still have other ideas I would like to check out. It took a few tries to get the wording down right. At first I filled in all the boxes they wanted me to fill out but all the info you put in they use in the logo. I thought it was to wordy so I started to eliminate words. After I saw a few of the logo examples I decided I could eliminate reading if the book image already implied it. I'm still not sure if I want to use the word "online" I think the wifi fan may be enough to imply that it is online but I am just not sure at this point. This is the first draft of my logo and I really do like it, I just wish it could imply more imagination. I envisioned a computer with creative and fancy free animals and images just flying from the screen with a student fully engaged staring at it, but probably in order to get that specific I will have to pay a pretty penny to have the software designers work on that for me. Maybe I can draw my own logo on an iPad Pro with the iPad pen i'm not sure but I will look into it.
I want my capstone logo to say that students of the 21st century are ready to use more of their instinctive curiosity, creativity and imagination to learn with technology as their unlimited access to the world.

Your design says a lot, but it's also simple enough and easy on the eyes. I like it! Engage online is catchy and describes your research well.. . now I need to come up with something catchy to describe mine.

I ended up using the same site as you did to create my logo. The main downside of using LogoMaker is the high cost. I liked your idea of drawing it on an iPad Pro. I will keep exploring affordable options and keep you posted if any work as well as LogoMaker.

It is funny how technology can sometimes be a barrier or mechanism of frustration in artistic endeavors. Couple that with the notion of a pay service and you have put off educators, myself included.
