Designing With Type: The Essential Guide To Typography [Book] by James Craig, Irene Korol Scala, William Bevington in Books

PurposeTo explore the typographic possibilities of individual letters in the creation of a logo design.

AssignmentDesigning a logo as a company’s identity is a lengthy and often complex process. However, it can also be an interesting and educational exercise. Select two or three letters with which to create four different designs. Consider the effectiveness of each. Although choices of typefaces are optional, it is suggested that you start with the five classic type faces, mixing faces, weights, styles, sizes, etc. Your designs should be in black and white, but you may wish to experiment with color to study the effect that it can have on the logo design. The chosen letters should represent something, such as a service or a product. For this exercise you may use your own initials. The letters shown here, DWT, were taken from the title Designing with Type, the ideal logo should suggest something about typography.

Think outside the box:• Do you have to use an entire letter form to

know what it is?• How might things change if a letter is viewed

in the negative?• Can one letter work as part of another?• Does converting a letter to outline give you

more options?• How might the pathfinder/shape modes tool

change possible outcomes?• Do the letters need to appear flat?• How does size of each letter affect the out-

come?

FORMAT (4) logo examples, each centered within a 3.5” square, with no outline, sharing a common corner, centered in the middle of on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper.
