1. Introduction to Logos

In this activity, you’ll use Google Drawings to create an event logo.

You’ll use this logo on the flyer and website that you create in the next activities.

A *logo* is a design that identifies an organization or event and sets it apart from others.

Take a look at these logos for: A hair salon A family reunion A poetry slam, or a A pep rally; To create your logo, you will add, crop, mask, format and adjust images.

“Cropping” trims the edges of an image and removes unwanted sections.

“Masking” crops an image into a shape.

You will also add text to your logo using text boxes or Word Art.
