LOGOS
Description: 3 different types of logos for the company
Q.I.T Madagascar Minerals

Date: February 21, 2015

Course/Instructor:
Comm. 130 Section 3
Cory Kerr

Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Illustrator

Objectives: Create three completely different, original logos

to fit a company or personal image that will appeal to the audience using only Adobe Illustrator.

Process: I went on to google images and found an image that

pertained to minerals. I chose a diamond. I then went on to my

Adobe Illustrator and made shapes of the diamond using triangles to recreate it in my own way. For the other logos I just used
typography, but I made sure that words were visible and that
there were usually two different complimentary fonts.
