My inspiration behind the design was the pun I always use to describe friends that love food: Tastebuds. I’ve always wanted to make a t-shirt design or logo that says Let’s Be Tastebuds, with some cute food images included.
I traced images of an ice cream and pizza shape and then implemented the circle tool to create the eyes. I used a bit of the gradient tool to give a little bit of shading with the top of the ice cream’s pink color. I used the circular tool again to create the pepperonis and the scissor tool to create the half pepperoni as well. I also utilized the pen tool to draw out the smiling faces.
I utilized the text tool to make the Let’s Be Tastebuds sentence run across the design.
The logo relates to my project because my blog is literally called The Tastebuds. Being able to connect people through food is my biggest passion. There is no greater joy than to be able to cook something for someone else or to take them to eat food. I always go into eating with friends with the mindset of sharing my experiences with them. I’ve been to some incredible restaurants in my life, and to be able to say let me bring you into my world is something powerful. Food is not just the physical act of eating or nutrients, but rather it is the experience as a whole. Nobody can communicate how amazing a meal or restaurant was without taking someone else. I believe food is very much a universal language, everyone understands it and can come to love it. I just want to be able to share in those memories. I want to be able to hopefully give the tastebuds t-shirts to my friends so they can always have a piece of me with them.

First of all ,I think the elements that I have used shows a strong connection with your topic, which is contagious to your audience .The elements that you have used can be related to your project because my blog is literally called The Tastebuds. As I see your idea of being able to connect people through food is your biggest passion. There is no greater joy than to be able to cook something for someone else or to take them to eat food. The cartoon graphics that you create make people feel happy and powerful. However, one thing you can add on your logo is the background color. I think it is too simple for your logo to only have white color. You can add some colors like rainbow colors as your background color. Moreover, I think you can it is better for you change modify the font of your text to create a stronger visual effect. For example, I do think you can ”Bold” your text in order to create a thicker lines for your words .I am sure your presentation will be a lot better.

I am actually pretty pleased with the turnout of my initial logo. I’ve visualized what kind of logo I wanted for a long time, so it was nice to see it come to fruition. I do agree with many of my peers’ feedback on making the actual text bolder and thicker so it stands out more.
I also hope to incorporate a few more design elements like adding the grid pattern to my ice cream cone to make it look more realistic. At the same time, I want to try to keep everything the same visual style with the cartoony look because I think it looks cute. I’ve wanted the logo design on a t-shirt for a long time now so I don’t really feel like I need to change much of anything else. I do understand the feedback on the background color, but I don’t feel it is very important because I can just change the background color for different color shirts.
