GRA 217 - Introduction to the Graphic Arts - group B

This is one of two blogs for the Graphics 217.1 course, Introduction to the Graphic Arts, at Syracuse University.

I really think that the Disney logo is very effective and timeless. The simplicity of its design is what has made it last so many years. This font and these words, symbolize so much to every single person and are so recognizable anywhere. There are many different versions of this logo but any little kid who looks at it knows that this castle means Disney world. The font used is playful but elegant at the same time. Disney does not only cater to kids and I think that this logo displays exactly what they stand for as an internationally-known, huge company. Sometimes above the type there are even mouse ears, which cater to the kids and aid as a visual device. The circle around Disney is very effective in keeping balance and connection between the type and the picture.
