Assignment:

Step 3 – Visual Research

As you conduct your online research, keep an eye out for any logos or designs on the websites to get an idea of what kinds of logos other student robotics organizations are using. What kind of shapes, symbols, colors and typefaces are used in robotics logos and materials?

Try doing a Google Image Search for “Robotics Team Logo” and see what you come up with. Seeing what kind of logos other schools’ robotics teams use will aid you in making your own design decisions when it comes time to produce your logo concepts.

Feel free to expand your web search to gather as much information as you can on our own Falcon Robotics team to aid you in your design decisions. You may wish to, at some point, visit Team 842 in the Robotics Lab upstairs to get an idea of where the Falcon Robotics Team works and how they operate. The visuals in the room itself can be highly informative to your logo design process. Take pictures with your cell phone or a camera if you see anything you’d like to use in your logo design.

To record what you have gathered in your visual research phase, copy at least five images from web sites that you have visited into the same Illustrator document that you wrote your ten facts about the Falcon Robotics team in. Please save your work, and turn this document in to Folder Number 33 on the StudentsTempFiles volume.
