My Logo

I have created this logo for the Mercy Jaguar bowling team championship tonight. I created this by using Photoshop, the main app we have been working with all semester in computer class. I created this because the team needs support tonight on their big night. We need all the support and fans we can gather, not only will you be watching the team bowl but there will be much fun, such as karaoke, dancing, and food will be served. I am asking you as a strong supporter of the Bowling team to come out and cheer them on tonight towards their victory. The tools used to create this logo were very difficult to manage. In the process of making these logos my class used many, many tools. Some tools I used was the brush tool, which allowed me to paint the big paw print in the top left hand corner. I also used the text tool so most of my text would look nice and match evenly with each other. The picture in the middle of the logo was too large to put into my picture at first so i had to use the laso tool to help refix the size. What the lasso tool does is helps cut a picture down to make it smaller. It is almsot like cropping a picture, if you would prefer to look at it that way. I used the swatches tool for color. I used light shades of blue, because Mercy has light shades of blue for some school colors. I also used the transformation tool, this shapes the picture to the perfect size you want, or rotate it in a certain direction that you would like. One time I had lost the color I was using so I had to use the eyedropper tool to match up the colors again. I had tons of fun with this project, it was interesting to create a logo like all the famous places do.

Designing A Logo

    This logo communicates its purpose by giving a little extra creativeness to the Mercy Academy Bowling Jaguars. I chose this team to design a logo for because I really wanted to join the team but with Track coming up I do not think I would have had time to do both with school as well. I chose the colors light shade of blue and black because blue is the color of Mercy, my school, and black is a color that stands out. I used black so it would be easy to see on the paw print in my logo. I used the element emphasis in the spelling of bowling. How this element is portrayed is I have drawn a bowling ball for the O and a bowling pin for the L. I also used the element balance, this is used by the two colors I chose to use. The black shows up very well on the blue, it is not too dark nor too light. I am pleased with my logo, I hope you enjoy it!
