out of the activity?

Internet rather than through other media
such as on a piece of paper?

more than one class and/or level?
˃ How will this activity be different from other
non-internet activities?

textbook?

activities that did not seem to work well with
your class, did not challenge them, did not
engage their interest

15. Like the logo design, each one of
us also has the ability to reflect
truth and the fondness of life back
into ourselves and one another. As
we stand tall, our embodied facets
are joined depending on each
other, sharing a wide colorful
spectrum of wisdom, knowledge,
compassion and gratitude—
unifying and celebrating the pure
qualities of hope."
From the inception of the company, the
wrench has been one the company's
most important product lines.
Incorporating the open-end wrench
within the "S" symbolizes history, hard
work, determination, and the working
professional. For over 20 years, the
company logo design has had a strong
grip on the high quality tool industry.
The brand represents "Tools that
inspire".

16. Cascio researched and studied
the rich tradition of The Country
Club, concentrating on what made
the club such a treasure. Proudly
known to many, over one hundred
species of trees are sprinkled
across the acres, each showing
their individuality. The golf course
marketing logo depicts a maple
leaf, a linden leaf, and an oak leaf.
The gold-leaf design creates a
lively dance around a birch leaf,
shown in the negative space. The
logo captures the communication
of nature, individuality, wholeness,
life, and choices.
The compass rose
graphic was created
to give the
Southport Bank logo
a unique and
memorable nautical
image. Reflecting on
its position on Lake
Michigan, the design
also gives the
presence of
direction and focus.
The diagonal lines
passing through,
simulates a feeling
of movement and a
sense of place.

17. Chef Mantuano consulted former "Mangia"
restaurant identity designer Stephen Cascio
to create a restaurant logo that would
compliment his new atmosphere. Looking
into the artform of the Mediterranean,
mosaic seemed a natural and playful way of
blending the name with the region.
TuttaPosto....."everything in its place!"
The Playmaker sport logo was
designed to give fluent leadership
motion to its brand's personality—
reaching across many nationalities that
play and enjoy the game of basketball.
A fashion designer logo
with a touch of
european influence, a
soft natural pose
gracefully frames a
profile of a women's
face, centering your
attention on her
features. “Sophisticated
and elegant, it's an
brand image that's
luring and complimentis
a women's natural
beauty.” replied Cascio.
