Why this skill rocks
You get to draw cool symbols and pictures that tell people what something is all about, like for your favorite club or a new game. You're like an art detective for brands!
2034Where this could take you
When the Olympics come in 2034, you could be designing awesome logos for new local businesses, special Olympic events, or even the merchandise that everyone wants to buy.
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Sketchbook for Logo Ideation
RequiredEvery great logo starts on paper. A dedicated sketchbook lets you rapidly throw down 20 rough ideas before committing to software — the pros all do this. Dot-grid or blank pages work best for logo sketching.
Logo Design Love Book by David Airey
RequiredA friendly, practical book about what makes logos work. Full of real case studies and process photos — reads like advice from a working designer, not a textbook. Perfect for ages 12 and up.
Fineliner Pen Set for Sketching
A set of fine-tip pens in multiple weights helps you sketch logos with clean lines and varying thickness — much better than a regular pencil for communication and presentation of your ideas.
