Project Requirements - Plan
  1. In your small sketchbook, you've made in class, brainstorm a list of a minimum of 10 mascot / team logo ideas.
  2. Find a visual reference for each idea, from online, from which you could sketch your logo.
  3. TIP:  Draw your sketches of your ideas from a full frontal view, like from the YAK or Gorillas examples below, unless you wanted to try the challenge of drawing a profile or 3/4 view.
  4. Next, brainstorm a list of a minimum of 5 cities of your choice.  These could be real or fictional cities.  
  5. Finally, come up with a team name for the city's mascot.  Put it all together for a brand new Team Logo!
Hey!!!  If you are a Maple Grove Senior High student (which you are...) and are tired of the not so intimidating "MG Leaf" logo, try to come up with a new MGSH Crimson Team Logo!!!  Think TOUGH!!!
