New Logo

Need a new logo?  For the new logo I chose to redo Wikipedia's simply because I had an idea for it. Books are a source of knowledge (except for Twilight) so I chose one to represent the site.  To create the book I looked up a picture of a book at an angle I liked.  Then I traced over it with a pen tool, and occasionally used the line tool to give it the appearance of a 3D object.  I chose a quill because I could it's less boring then a pen, and I could use fresh ink dripping off to show that it's still being edited.  I created the quill in the same exact way as the book.  I wanted to create a 'W' that replicated Wikipedia's, but making one with a pen or the shaped tool proved too awkward so I used the text tool and free distort.  After making this one, taking advice with Mrs. Santa, I decided to make an alternate version attempting to make the 'W' look better, and moving the quill up.


 


Fun fact: I was originally going to do something making fun of Call of Duty, but I thought it would be a little to simple and easy for it to get a good grade.  I was going to take a logo of a children's daycare with several letter blocks, and replace the 'A-B-C' with 'C-O-D' and type 'Call of Duty' in rainbow colors, in reference to how many underage children play.
