Class #13 - Your Group's Name & Logo

LT: I can utilize the elements of graphic design to create a logo.

Today, each group will decide on their news network's name.

The group will work together to create a logo that they will use in their upcoming video. 

DO NOW: What do you notice about these logos? What observations can you make?

(Write your responses on your DO NOW sheet)

Examine these well-known news network logos. What do you notice about these logos? What elements do they utilize to create a striking logo?

EXAMPLES: Let's watch some examples of special reports about hurricanes. What do you notice about their use of a logo?
