Use the articles above as a guide to how to write about a logoās evolution. Questions addressed in your report should be who designed the logo, what the thought process was in developing it, whether it influenced other logos since it was created and how the images that surround that logo in advertising are intended to complement it. Typeface and color changes should be noted and discussed. You should also note in your report where the logo is found–websites, print materials, products. and include photos of these in your report. Please write a summary of the information that you have learned. This assignment should be at least three typed paragraphs –with each paragraph being 4 or 5 sentences long. Please use spell check and be sure that you are paying attention to your sentence structure and punctuation. You must have visuals of the logo to accompany your text. If the logo has evolved, show more than one visual depicting this evolution with captions below each image. Discuss the color and typeface of the logo. Use the article about the husky logo as a good guide for all the elements you should include in your report.
