Rodney Mullen


Here is Rodney Mullen, one of my favorite Skateboarders. This photo was taken when he was really young. Also I think the shorts came out really nice.

Project 2 Logo

This is my logo for my fantasy video game consol. I just wanted to go with something colorful and abstract and simple. Without this product actually existing I was kind of having a hard time coming up with ideas. But I do like the final outcome and the organic shapes against the crisp letters.

5 Logos Critique


I think the AT&T logo is pretty simplistic, which makes its message work well. What I get out of it is how the phone's service covers the entire Earth which is represented by the sphere and the wireless coverage being the blue swirls. The logo is for anyone looking into having a wireless phone or tablet. I think the logo is definitely memorable I think solely for the fact of how established the company is and how many commercials people see about it day to day.



















The windows logo is also fairly simplistic, in which they play off the company's name and you can see the four different "windows." If you did not already know what the company was about you might think they were a window fixing or making company because of the logo. The target audience is for anyone who wants to get a home computer or a personal laptop. I think the colors go well together and make it a very nice image to look at. Because of its nice color scheme and simple design makes this image an easy one to remember after you have seen it.

The Volcom logo is quite simple in design with is triangular shape. The logo is interesting with how it plays with the opposite of black and white coloring scheme. The target audience if for young teenagers to college students who are looking to wear this "skater" style of clothing. I like how they use just blacks and whites, which makes it very versatile to put on any piece of clothing. With its unique opposite black and white pattern I would say this logo is pretty memorable.

The PlayStation logo is a simple idea of using just the P and the S in their name and setting them up like the P is over the S which is laying down. I think this gets the company's message comes across very clearly because what I think when I read PlayStation is literally what I think I'll be doing when using this product. The target audience is for any gamer who is looking to play great video games with good graphics and great performance. The logo usually has the P being red and the S being three different other colors but they have changes it to be more modern looking and keeping it Black and grey's. By using the P and S this logo is very memorable.

The Ralph Lauren logo is pretty complex with the guy riding on a horse playing polo. I think the company's message is clear by making clothing that fits the polo playing style. The target audience is for college students up looking to dress classier than usual but still keeping it fairly casual. The logo comes in many basic colors like blue and red and white and black. The different colors make it very versatile to fit nicely on any piece of clothing, The logo itself is memorable because its literally portraying a guy playing polo which is what the clothing line is called.
