From Icons to Logo Designs

Byzantine Art

¡

 Eighth graders learned that Byzantine art focused on religious subjects with domed churches, decorative mosaics and icons, and that an icon is an image or picture that has some well-known significance or embodies certain qualities.  This led to a discussion of some modern icons which we know as logos.

After discussing how graphic designers design logos for companies,  students were assigned the task of designing a new logo for the Georgia Tranportation Department.
