Logo types (iStudios) part 2


EAs logo is meant to shorten their original name which is ELECTRONIC ARTS.
The logo is very recognizable by many people in the gaming industry and for good reasons... sometimes bad reasons.

The logo isnt actually that big or small since this is placed on game boxes to mark their property and their logo is actually quite edited since it needed overlapping, shading and glow sometimes.
Its coloration isn’t very surprising since its black and white, but they do change it depending on the game or department that the game was produced. It’s also very modern since this type of company aims to produce games that entertain people. You could mark it as a combination mark which I am not sure of.


UBISOFTS logo is different from EAs logo since it has an icon on top of its name.
Their logo look like it is a mix of shading and not too many if any at all overlapping since this is placed on games made by them and the logo is about the same size EAs when printed on game boxes.
                                 
Its color scheme is fairly simple with it using the same color and darkening it but it also uses white in its center. This logo is fairly old actually going all the way back to 2008 and isn’t changed like EAs depending on the game and if it is changed its very slightly.
This also classed as a combination mark.

Logo types (iStudio Logo)

Scenario: 
You are working in the college marketing department and you will produce a range of design and illustration products for marketing purposes.
Initially you are asked to design a logo for the new Creative Arts College company called I Studio. The logo design will need to be used across several sectors including moving image and web. You will be responsible for gathering research to brief other members of your team, staff and learners; presenting initial ideas to them and producing the final designs in suitable formats.


 Logo is a way for a company to make its self known and represent itself, and mark its products with to prevent theft. Its like a copyright act in my eyes.


 Veryday:
This image is very formal and business like and would most likely fit a bank in my opinion like for example NatWest.
  

It is considered as a Combination mark and with it, it looks more modern.
I includes several bright colors like pink, blue or violet and some brownish colour possibly bronze.
Its shape is also very square with the text remaining nice and smooth, it also may have been made by using drop shadows.
Its texture isn’t much to talk about with it being all flat but it does have some shading in it. The size of this is most likely important because if this logo is used on any type of document then it needs to be relatively big but small at the same time.

 IGN on the other hand have a 3d logo with an icon and a bundle of effects like shading drop shadows and glow effects on it. The colors are red, black, white and grey for added effect.
What makes the logo look unique is that it has its own icon which you don’t see much in modern companies but this one is a exception.

You don’t really know what IGN does however with just seeing the logo so looking at their website is the best thing if you really want to know what they specialize in, and their work with games. The icon does resemble as cursor for shooting games which may give a clue about it, and it’s very different to the one on top before it in terms of looks. It’s also technically a combination mark as well. Size for this logo doesn’t really matter since its mostly viewed by people online rather than in paper form.
Steinias:
This logo is very professional again but it looks like it would be a Combination mark as it contains both text and shapes.
The texture is very bland again as with the last one, but the amount of colors used isn’t very small with it using light blue (aquatic), black, grey, and violet as well as having been shaded and the background being all darkened in the center and surrounded by a white ring. It could have been made using basic filters or just gentle strokes.
It kind of seems to be used as a chemical producer for dishwasher products or clothes like
A.L Wilson Stain remover.

The guardian logo doesn’t have much in terms of effects or 3d, but it does give you that vibe of a professional news reporter.
The logo does have different colors with them being blue and very light blue compared to the other one on top in which case this classed as a word mark.
And it is quite small in size since this is actually sometimes printed on newspaper.
