Logo Parodies are cool too.

My favorite BP logo parody: http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenpeaceuk/4751476905/in/set-72157623796911855/ 


1.Describe the logo using the language of the Elements and Principles of Design.

    The parodied logo consists of radial balance of red streaks emanating form behind a grim reaper looking thing that is holding the actual British Petroleum logo covered in what seems to be oil. There are smudges of oil that can be seen around the edges of the photo as well.


2. Describe the symbols used in the logo. Why did the graphic artist use such imagery?


     The creator of the image has incorporated the image of the grim reaper in with the BP logo. The grim reaper is known to be a symbol of death and evil. There is also oil streaks and smudges around the image because of the BP oil tragedy.


3. What does this logo say of BP's corporate identity?


     This logo shows that British Petroleum is evil and killing millions by the use of the grim reaper who is a symbol of Death. It's true because many animals lost their lives and their homes because of the oil tragedy. BP didn't do their job properly, now they have to accept the consequences.
    
     

Graffiti and Graffiti.

These two pictures are my favorite examples of graffiti both light and street.

Light Graffiti

      This photo is my favourite example of light graffiti. I like it because it reminds me of Toronto and I was born and raised in Toronto, it's my hometown. The one building in the middle looks like the cn tower, that's the main reason it reminds me of Toronto, and the main reason I like it. 

Street Graffiti



       This photo is my favourite example of street graffiti. I like it because of how well the artist captured the appearance of The Transformers in battle, it's so cool. I also really enjoy The Transformers series. Optimus Prime is my favorite and he's also the main point of the art. It also almost looks 3d due to the layers and textures of the art, it's like the robots are coming out at you in a way.

Street Vs. Light

      Street graffiti and light graffiti aren't that different from eachother. They're both art forms, just different ways of displaying it. Although light graffiti can be done without vandalizing anything, street graffiti can be seen by everyone. Neither art form is better than the other, both have their benefits and negatives.
