Assignment 1 Revit Title Block & Logo.
Architectural drawings always contain a title block on the right hand side of the page. That title block consists of information such as: sheet name and number, names and addresses of architecture, engineering, and consultants on the project, and a project logo. Your assignment is to refine your logo design for your title block. The logo should be 4” square and should be in black and white. Think of high contracts designs that are clear and simple.
