Fictional, Non-Traditional Homework Assignment

1. Event planning business. 

Since Event Planning is what I hope to go into in the future I like the idea of designing a logo for my potential future company. For this I would design a logo that was classy, but edgy and unique. I want my company to cover all types of event planning as well as being able to cater every need of the event (like one stop shopping). I would like to be in Florida with a very high cliental and work though great venues. With that, the logo itself needs to reflect the clients as well as the company. I would use a script type font with a monogram to symbolize that it was self owned by me. The logo needs to be versatile to fit any type of client and be able to stand apart from the rest.

2. Florist Shop

One thing I have always said that I wanted to do in my second life was own/ work in a floral shop. Flowers are something that can be really simple and inexpensive or extravagant and beautiful. I think that working in a business like that brings a lot of happiness from the customers. For this logo I would create something fun and bright. Using all types of design that made one want to buy the flowers in the shop. Incorporating a flower into the name of the business would also be included.

3. Restaurant

Since my parents own a restaurant back home I think another option would be to play around with their logo and alter it, or even create a new one that could be used in the future. I usually help take care of the advertising and social media for the restaurant so doing something like this could very much benefit to my family. We own a local Italian and Seafood Restaurant so I would try to incorporate this into the design as well as that it a family restaurant in the heart of the smallest state of Rhode Island.

4. Advertising Business

Another career I always thought about was going into the the advertising of the liquor market. With my parents owning a restaurant for over 16 years I have seen my mom do liquor inventory every week and can tell you a bottle from the look of it without even reading the label. I love the designing of the bottles as well as the advertising they do for them wither it be for billboards or magazine ads. This logo would incorporate the stylish and different look many buyers look for when they are picking someone to design the logo for their new brand. This idea is very similar to my event planning logo, but since it is not my own company the personalization will be taken out of the logo and it will be a little less custom to the eye.

5. Winery

This concept is similar to my parents restaurant idea but it is geared more towards my sister. With a double major in Philosophy and Italian my sister loves the beautiful things in life, including wine. She recently spent a year abroad in Italy and is planning on graduating early to return there and hopefully go into the wine business. She wants to own and operate her own Vineyard so I think that it would be nice to maybe design her a logo that she could use or start off with one day. For her logo I would use something very rustic and original. It would reflect the quality of the wine and also look sophisticated to reflect my sisters taste.  It needs to have a spin on her American/Italian lifestyle. Picking a design that is both geared toward today but still has that aged feel to it like bottles of wine do is very important to her as well.
