Logo Project-Draft

For my project, I decided to create a logo of  my gym fitness gym. I wanted to create something unique, and potentially different from anyone else’s design. I created two yellow  lightning bolts to the left and right of my logo. The wording on the logo reads “RTT”, which stands for “Roderick Top Team”. Furthermore, their is a dumbbell placed right on the corner of the acronym of my logo.  This design relates directly to my course theme because it symbolizes the tone, and main idea behind what I  am going after. My logo draws inspiration from small  locally owned gyms around where I grew up.  To give me more of an idea of what I was looking to create, I researched gyms all around the area from which I lived in. I feel that the most significant of the elements in my design   would have to be the lighting bolts  because of how aggressive it is. I used those lightning bolts to grab the attention of the viewer. I began with using the paint bucket tool to create a gray background. Then I created the lightning bulbs next by using the paint brush tool. After creating the lightning bulbs I placed a white circle in the center to include the name of my gym and a small representation of the dumbbell. I then used the paint bucket tool again to paint the lightning bolts yellow. I adjusted the stroke to a bigger number to outline the lightning bulbs, and I created the dumbbell starting with the rounded rectangle tool. I made three different sized rectangles to near an actual dumbbell. Then I copied the green triangles to the side, and connected them using a red tool to make a heart line.  I decided to make the font of the name of the gym so that it would stand out and be clear to the viewer.
