Design Project

This logo is too close to the original IBM logo-- we are redesigning the logo, not creating an evolution.

Watch the Week 3 session for additional details on that.

Also, I do not see your analysis of the employee, customer, and shareholder response to this changed logo.

Feel free to revise and resubmit for a better grade. Contact me with any questions or concerns.

Important points to remember:

1.  We are LOYAL to brand logos.

2.  Companies and organizations KNOW that people become emotionally invested in "their logo/brand names".

3.  How do they use images, color, design, font to help you REMEMBER the product/company?

4.  Logos convey emotions and feelings to the people looking at them: Apple = reliable, Nike = fit, Disney = safe for my kids.....etc.

IBM Logo Re-design Assignment checklist:

1) Use Powerpoint (see etext Ch. 6) or Word document.

2) Use creativity, what we have learned about color, form, depth, movement, and Gestalt theory to design a NEW logo for IBM.

3) Be sure to discuss:

    -   IBM organizational values (if you use info from the cite...ACKNOWLEDGE your sources in some way)

    -   Audience perceptions (how will the employees, shareholders, clients respond; covered in live session and detailed in assignment instructions - see live lecture for details)

    -   At least 1 quote from the readings or an academic source (readings wk 1&2, etext, additional readings in wk 4 tab)

    -   Acknowledge ALL information used from other sources INCLUDING YOUR IMAGES (or you will be asked to revise and resubmit) -- you may simply state "images used on slide #__ obtained from Google images/Microsoft Clipart" or the website/source.

    -   Consider including a "Reference page" slide for clarity.
