I found this to be very helpful and inspirational to me. the Coke logo has always been a very recognizable and memorable combination mark. i liked how they kept it simple using only 2 spot colors .

The Burger king color is another combination mark i like, although not as simple as the coke one the colors go well with each other. and you automatically see a image of a burger when you look at the logo.

The pepsi combination mark is very nice. Like the burger king one it to is not as simple as the coke logo but it defilently stands out as being a big logo. i like how the colors are analogous and you can see the variation of the blue.

Assignment 19 inspiration.

This piece inspired me to incorperate the concept of a fire element into my business card since i was going with Ted's Hot wings. i like the colors and the contrast of the red and yellow that comes together.

This piece inspired me to use some sort of wing or bird element. i wanted not only my logo to show the elegance of the flame but the gracefulness of a bird.
