For my logo draft, I created a logo for my intramural sports team. For inspiration, I searched for other intramural team logos on google and I also looked at designs people made for video games. NBA 2k and MLB The Show allow you to make custom logos to use in their games, and I saw some cool designs on those games that inspired the logo that I came up with. I knew that I wanted to name the team the pylons just because I think the name would be funny, so I had to find a picture of a pylon that I liked. Finding the picture was pretty tough, especially one that could be licensed for free, but eventually I was able to find one and I put it in photoshop and made a cutout of it using the magnetic lasso tool. I used the eraser tool to clean up the bottom of the pylon and make it look a little nicer. After that I saved it as a .tiff. From there I put the cutout into illustrator and I put the text around the pylon. I made the font for the bottom text around 200 points and the top text around 180 points. I made the text fill something close to anthracite and the border crimson. I figured since it is a logo for an intramural sports team, Cougar colors would look good as part of the logo. I made the border for the text 4 points to bring out the crimson a little bit more. I also warped the text so that it would wrap around the cutout of the pylon. I also made sure to choose a font that I liked , something that would stand out. I also made the font demi-bold italic, and I liked the way that it made the font look, so I kept it. For my final draft, I beveled the text just slightly to give the text and the logo a little bit more depth. I spent a considerable amount of time just playing with the angles to make sure I found the right look for the text. I also made sure to center the pylon in the middle of my logo, and I rotated it a little so it stood straight up. That was the number one thing I got for my peer feedback so I made sure to fix that for my final product.
