Testing out a new idea for a gateway

Logo designs

Every team members is going to design 2 or more logos to put forward to the rest of the team. When every one has created there 2 logo we are going to allvote on the one we like the most. These are the 2 logos i made.

This was my first design taking a arcade type machine and having it roll different types of people e.g dumb,silly and intellectual. But it would be on intellectual at all times because of are name also put arcade under it to finish it off

This is the second one i did its my favorite out of the two designs. I decided aliens because they symbolizes a greater intelligence which works in with are name also i have designed it in arcady fashion

MoodBoard

Me and my team made this mood board to help us think of different ideas for a logo. We cut up many different magazines to find a variety of different logo and images. We did this to help us find out which colours stand out on the page e.g "Man Made Hell" this is because its big but also because its a yellow on black background which makes the text stand out more. Also got a idea off the EA logos in the top right hand corner of the page that we can use the same logo just change the colour scheme depending on what we are trying to sell. Also found that some of the best images/logos was the very simple ones like the bear in the mood board very simply designed but still looks very cool

Brainstorm

This is the brainstorm are team created to help us pick are team name by writing down all the names the team members wanted to have then voted for the one we all liked the most. We ended up with Intellectual Arcade. We also used it to right down ideas on colour schemes, shapes and

fonts for are logo

Playing with particles

This is using two particle systems one being the middle beam and the over being all the particles coming in from the tube. The beam is just using the normal processes and the over one is using a force called push to get the cluster effect in the middle
