Objectives: Create a logo for a company/service/orga-
nization and make a visual identification for your business.

grabbed my Polaroid camera to go by and started to cre-
ate the shapes it’s made of in Illustrator. After designing my
ideal logo, I came up with 3 other similar logos that could
also be like what I wanted. After receiving feedback from
