THE RANDOM PROJECT
(LOGO DESIGN PROJECT)

 

Using only Inkscape, you will create a logo for a fictitious company!  It gets worse!  Your company name and the type of field it is related to is randomly selected for you.  It gets worse!  A random animal is also chosen for you.  That animal has to figure into the logo or slogan in some way.  Sigh… Clients are so demanding!
