Possible Logo designs
Above sees two media related areas, which I may go and produce for my 2D/3D logo. As you can see in the centre is a computer. WHY A COMPUTER???
Decision Making
With some very early on discussions with my tutor in Frazer he told me "If you wanted you could go about doing an IT/Techy kind of feel logo as after all, you are doing IT level three next year. The filming and gaming options are only open because the majority of the class are either going the 'TV and Film' or 'Games Development' pathway".

YouTube banner inspiration for IT related digital art
YouTube banner
The 'TechSmartt' channel, on the far left hand side is an ordinary YouTube channel dedicated to IT. I am well interested in what videos they produce, due to enjoying the mobile signal side to IT. This logo they have designed to put as a banner to represent themselves on social media is how I want to go about with my work. Straight away you get the impression it is a channel focusing on mobile signal, as the logo is sort of shaped into a 'signal bar' which you would find on a for example smart phone.
One final point to make with analysis, it stands out due to have that bold effect with a good contrast in colours to make it visual to see and remember as a viewer.

All these other banners I found are focused on the PC fixing/maintenance side. The other part to IT which I enjoy very much so. Almost every one of these logos are idents which move in some sort of capacity. Once I have my logo created I want to be able to move my logo in some of the ways like the examples above.

Possible colours to use
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technology which is basically covering all aspects of IT and computers has always had a kind of blue feel to it. To prove this, technology is a blue connotation, after finding out from a website I used for my 'colour project' back in September 2014. Blue and orange were both common colours found in the logos/indents which I inspire of for my logo/ident above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like stated before, blue and orange were both common colours found in the logos/indents above. Orange may be a possible colour because after all, we are promoting ourselves and in my personality I would say I have energy, enthusiasm and humour all in which are orange connotations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No connotations or inspiration from previous examples were needed here but possibly, not to sure yet, I am going to use a bright green on a possible black background. All related to 'hacking' which then relates to 'coding', where you see the lettering the majority of the time in a bright green. Choosing this as an logo/ident reflects back onto an old favourite topic of mien back in secondary school.

Possible fonts to use
I am not saying I am going to use one of these many fonts but it is a possibility. I only wanted to experiment on Word, the different fonts they provided and which ones look good to provide a feel for an IT/computer based logo/ident.
All in which are all the same font size but many fonts have many similarities in providing for example a funky feel compared to others where they look like the 'TechSmartt' lettering . A funky feel is what I want to feel in my logo/ident.

Moodboard
This moodboard is a collection of images which link very well to how I want my work to plan out. The moodboard would provide my early thought process and initial ideas.

Mind Map
My mind map shows my early thought process and initial ideas, exactly what the moodboard did. All for the benefit of helping me with ideas come later on in this assignment, when I get designing the logo/ident.
'Information Technology' is the idea I am going by but I have drew up some notes and ideas for the following media pathways, 'TV and Film' or 'Games Development' in case IT is not the best option to choose.

IT related pictures
(for logo inspiration)
(for logo inspiration)
To get me started, I paid a visit down to our college campus very own computer lab to have a look around to see what possible IT related objects I could use for my logo. I liked the idea of using a screwdriver, with computer cables.
Permission was needed, so I checked if it was ok to have a wonder around on the day I was free (Monday 9 May). I checked with IT tutor, Bob. My tutor from last year.
