Day 85 - NFL Super Bowl Logo Designs - Ms. Phillips - MSMS Art Department

This post originally appeared on Ms. Phillips' Blog

This week in class we discussed the importance of logo designs. Students were given the assignment to create the winning team logo for the  Super Bowl. Most students want the Pats to win but are feeling the Seahawk are the better team. Greenbay had a handful of designs and the Colts the least. If the students designs are any indication of who makes it to Superbowl XLIX it will be the Patriots Vs Seahawks.
Below are a few of the designs that were completed...
