Pick any two (2) of the Logo types discussed and then practically demonstrate how to make them, showing your detailed process.

For this question, I will be an Emblem logo and a combination logo.

Emblem Logo

Step One: I choose a shape (shield) that best suits my design concept.

Step Two: I put lines in the shape I have made to give it another look.

Step Three: The third thing I thought of and implemented was to put the initial of the brand name in the shape. This gave me a nice look

Step Four: I put a flowered design at the base of the shape to further beautify it

Step Five: Thereafter, just below flower at the base, I added straight lines with some little touch of design at the both ends. I guess it gave it different look and a reason to go further.

Step Six: I put the brand name just below the designed lines. I guess that's the most suited place for me to have placed it. The design continues...

Step Seven: I added a little description of the product that portrays it as a superior quality brand.

Step Eight: I thought of another touch I would give to it and that was to add a flowered wing-like design to the both side of the shape. This really gave me a nice look and the guts to think of more touches as one step offers me an idea for the next.

Step Nine: The next thing I thought of was to add another wing-like flower design at the two edges of the shield and a little touch at the center top edge. After this I envisioned another concept which was to put a crown on the shield and that was it.

Puting a crown on the shield appeared to me that there is no further thing to design. So this is what I came up with for an emblem logo.

Combination Logo

Step One: Based on my concept or what I have in mind to do, I created some flowers and put them in positions that suits my concept.

Step Two: Since it is a combination logo, I put the initial of the business name between the flowers as I envisioned.

Step Three: I added the brand name just below the initial and the flowers. It gave me a perfect outlook.

Finally, I added a description of the business and it gave me what I have here.*

Design a simple flier for your brand and then strategically place one of the logo you made in the flier.
