Charity Logos

I have looked at different charities and their logos and i wanted to look at the design of the website and the use of there logo to emphasize the importantance of the charitie.

The cancer research UK is a very simple logo but it is very affective and know everywhere for its logo. It is in an arrow shape to represent the way forward to move on and aim to get rid of it. The red dot at the end makes people think about what it is, it could represent;
-The one cell is infected within the body.
- That one person has it and all these people are helping them and are here to help.
- It could also mean there is an ending point for it.


This logo is simple but affective, it a bible referance to the good samaritan, who helped the man so it resembles that with helping and caring. The boldness of the logo and the light, bright colour makes it seem happier.
This logo is fun and and exciting and it is exact to the point the little red man represents running and thats linked to sport. It is simple but very effective the ball (head of the man) is showing a ball of some sort.
I have decided to do a logo which is linked to animals so i did a paw shape logo. This resembles that it has something to do with animals. It is a simple logo but effective which shows that it it can advertise the charity.

Below is my dafts of my designs;


This is my final attempt at designs;


I have two designs of the logo but i decided that this design looked better as yellow and brown work well together and from my research on colours and they are complimentary and complement each other well.


This was my other design but i thought that the orange/yellow of the text didnt work very well and i thought that the other logo was better.

Preliminary task - My website




Evalution of the website
I would have to make my own logo instead of getting one off the internet already existing, could use colours that work better together. I made my own video which makes the page more interactive and would interest the reader into the website more. I also put on the schools awards that they have won along the bottom i have kept this on each page because it emphasizes that the school wins awards. On the about us page i have used a map off google, to improve this i could make my own map of the school so i am not copying other peoples work. i have used some of my own pictures of a school which makes it better because it is my own work. i think that the layout of the website is simple but it is effective, on some pages there is too much information and on others there is not enough information.
