Yay School!!

I am in my last semester of school.. YAY I can't wait to graduate.. BUT I have a feeling I am not going to like my classes too much. Especially two of my classes (that's half) There are people in those classes that I think are just ew.. And when there are people like that in my classes I tend to disregard what they say in critiques. The good news is that in my Graphic Design III class the teacher is just as crazy about fonts and poorly designed things as me.. Example

He was talking about different logos and their meanings. We started talking about the the Ivy Tech logo.. It was a very interesting conversation I might add..
He was like, "What is this logo? What does it mean?"
And me being the outgoing loud-mouth I can sometimes tend to be with design I say, "I was told it's an Ivy tree."
He says, "When was the last time you've seen an Ivy tree?"
I say, "I have no idea. I actually don't think I've ever seen one."
He goes, "Class, when was the last time you saw an ivy tree??"
Silence.
I chime in and say, "I was actually under the impression ivy was an invasive vine and not a tree."
He goes. "EXACTLY! So how does this logo even makes SENSE?!?! Ivy isn't EVEN A TREE!!"

He proceeds to google the alleged 'ivy tree' and read the Wikipedia entry.
He then tells us that an Ad Agency designed it and didn't design it well considered the given facts of the ivy plant.
He asks what font the logo is in.. Of course I know what it is.. Futura.. Obvi.

He was like, "So tell me what is wrong with this logo. Why isn't it within design standards?"
I say, "The proportions are incorrect."
He says, "Good observation, but not the correct terminology. The WEIGHT isn't the same. The Y is very thick, the V is medium thickness and the I is scrunched and scrawny in comparison to the other letters."
I was just sitting there laughing, only because he is so right.


It's going to be a good class let me tell you!!
