Logos- 8/02/2019
Examples of logos



Logos must:
-relate to essex culture
- be simple
- youth culture
- target audience is youth culture/ young people
ages 15-25
- humour
Example logos
The potential logos must most importantly relate to the essex culture and portray a few stereotypes through them.
Appeal
- humour appeal
- youth appeal
- endorsement appeal
- popularity appeal
- social appeal
- intertextual links to include
Explain the reasons why the following appeals are being used.
- Gender hybridity
Firstly, i have chosen the red lips to be the logo and the main focus as it very clearly represents the femininity of Essex girls. It also portrays a stereotype which is held for the typical Essex girls, that they are always made up almost being entirely fake and never natural illustrated by the hard red lipstick on the lips. Also, another stereotype displaye by the red lipstick is that they are provokative girls always in the search of men, rather than focusing on their own well-being and future persepctive or goals.
Secondly, the main reason for me to choose the red colour for the lipstick and the lips is that it mainly symbolises a warning or a danger approaching, which therefore focuses the attention of the audience onto the logo and therefore on the potential advert. Also, the people who desire this colour are aggressive or energetic therefore this this makes a link to the Essex culture of the males as they are stereotyped as being aggressive and rude into violence. However, the colour moreover represents the strive for success which is a perfect match and combination for the logo of the advert as it's ruling and crucial purpose is to be succesfull so a higher number of people can order from ''Your Food''. It represents the determination and action being taken in order to become affluent.
On the other hand, the main colour of the logo which is the red, is contrasted with the black colour which is used in the wirting ''Your Food''. As the red is a powerful colour it is combined with the black in order for it to stand out in this visual environment. The combination of the 2 colours is very effective as they both support eachother as a result of their similar connotations, both emphasising importance and sophistications. However, they are also two very contrasting colour as the red is a very highly saturated and bright colour whereas the black is a very dark, dull and unsaturated colour, which therefore increases the interest of the audience. A well as, the warm colour red transmits a cheerful, positive and optimistic tone towards the people looking at the advert. And in addition to this, the black colour used in the text writing depicts the formality, seriousness and therefore represents the advert as very original.

Eye contact is made by the chef looking directly at you
The red background colour symbolises the importance and significance of the advert. It can also imply a warning as the red is an alarming colour.
Anchorage portrayed through the chef pointing his finger at the phone
The headline is in capitals which is eye catching and puts the attention of the people on the advert.
The finger pointing creates humour.
Saturated colours are quite positive.
Complimentary colour of the red and white make the white captions stand out.
Colour theory
The caption ''don't cook'' is quite playful and humorous therefore it presents the idea that if people can't cook or do not have time to cook/clean up the mess, just eat will take care of that and solve these problems.
The direct mode of address is effective as it creates a relationship between the on viewer and the advert. This creates a playful and humorous tone. There is informality as the chef is smiling and he's not serious, which would make the viewer feel more comfortable- more likely to order from just eat.
Serif is used to make a link to the modern society we re in. the advert is not out-dated or old, is in fact modern.
Intertextual links:
- stereotypical italian chef- moustache
- super mario
- 118 advert
Colours are very saturated conveying the positivity.
The colours used in this advert are mostly associated with femininity which can create a conflict.
The yellow colour is a compelling and youthful colour which can be linked to the younger generations and make the adverts more suitable for a younger audience/target market.
The yellow colour is also the colour of success which can directly link to the idea that these adverts are very popular and successful therefore attracting the audience.
The colours used are analogous colours:
-orange
-yellow
Most colours such as the yellow, orange and pink are warm colours.
There is a connection in the third side between the 2 different shades of green and the caption ''to the park'' so the caption is explained through the colours used. The green is associated with healthy food.
There are 3 different age groups presented presenting the idea that the advert is directly aimed at a specific age group.
The expressions of the people are positive as we can se that they are all smiling which can imply that all clients and people are satisfied and happy with the delivery service offered by ''deliveroo''.
