Langley Fine art school New Logo!!

What we don't like:
  • Colours & Shapes=90s
  • Outdated
  • Font sizing of SCHOOL overrides Fine Arts.
  • Message is vagueNot all of the marks make sense
  • Looks like ketchup or blood
  • Looks like fire through a window
  • Leans to the right
  • Needs cleaning 
What we like:
  • Out of the box idea- exploding
  • Majors represented (but not all)
  • Like paint-like shape

Recommendations:
  • Unique
  • Bold/strong contrast/bright colors
  • Easy to draw
  • Be able to identify school with only logo
  • Needs to be simple & powerful
  • Movement
  • Keep basic essence of current logo
  • Maybe include motto: Explore, Create, Inspire

Before you further develop the LFAS logo, read through the following websites:

9-Fonts

Fonts are a complete assortment of type of one style and size. Fonts are expressive, they have personality and are a powerful communication tool. Letter styles are very important in design. They are an identifier of a company, an organization, an event, a band, style of clothing, or tv show... Font styles are so powerful, they can control the way we think and perceive about something.

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).

We are going to explore the power of font choice and various applications of typography in design






9 different fonts
They all have different character like our personality:)
