Your Personal Logo

Most companies have a logo that represents their brand. One of our last assignments is for you to create your own personal logo. This logo should use elements from the mathematics we have learned (or that you know and love from some other class or place or person), combined in an original way that represents you.

A great logo will demonstrate

  1. mathematics used,
  2. beauty, appropriateness and/or creativity of the design,
  3. a nice, typed one-page description (which you might think of as a script for your presentation), and
  4. how well you present your logo (you'll have only about two-three minutes each to present!).
An example of a common logo with some interesting mathematical structure is the linked rings of the Olympics:

Many logos featuring the mathematical concept of symmetry can be found here . That's an example of incorporating a mathematical concept into logo design.

We know logos so well that there is a quiz about them here -- give it a try!

Throughout the semester you will see (or will have seen) mathematically themed logos, as well as some mathematical ideas to use to create your own mathematical logo.
