What’s my logo? (1 lesson)
Some of the most distinctive and strongest brand identities have a logotype at their heart – a piece of type (rather than a mark or symbol) that acts as a unique identifier. This activity will allow you to explore the characteristics of different typefaces and how they can be used to reflect different personalities. In this lesson we get pupils to think about how different typefaces have different characteristics and associations and brainstorm their own character traits and prioritising them.
