The one question that (most) graphic designers never want to hear, and, the myth of the five-dollar logo. The conversation always goes something like this:
"So, I'm starting a new business, and, well…I need a logo. Interested?"
If we're on the phone, what usually follows is a pause. If we're communicating by email, there's usually a suspiciously long time before I hit "reply." And, if we're speaking in person, the look on my face is usually enough to communicate my answer.
Because…I don't do logos.
Actually, that's not true. I do occasionally agree to take on a logo project, whether through loyalty, guilt, or, by just not being particularly good and saying "no." If the request is for a larger branding project, then, sure. A logo will

An epic tale of deception, stolen artwork, and crappy logos
(https://medium.com/swlh/in-the-past-couple-years-startups-have-started-realizing-that-good-design-can-make-the-difference-2fdeb90d390a), which described how the author commissioned three logos—for a made-up company—through the website Fiverr, which offers (or at least did at the time) logos for the low, low, price of just five dollars each. Exactly what kinds of logos did the author receive for her $15? Well, the results were both entirely predictable, and, well, shocking.
Two of the three logos Greif received were literal copy-and-paste jobs of existing, stock logo designs. Her company name was simply swapped out. The same logos were already being used by several other companies. The third logo was, as far as she could tell, original work, but, was so anonymous and , as to not matter. Oh, and if the author wanted files that would allow her to actually use her new logos, that would have cost extra. Ditto for copyright permission. And expedited service.
While Fiverr seems to have evolved their business model a bit since Greif's article was first published, in 2014, the fact remains. You will always get what you pay
The initial part of the film only uses a lot of logos and a little ethos but then logos is only used here and there at curtain points to reinforce the argument. The film uses logos by stating facts such as the law passed in 2005 when a bill was passed that allowed big companies to bypass the clean water
Logos appeals to the logical side, provides reason as well as logic to the reader. While there are no logical colors or shapes but there is text as well as photos to explain logos. The MacDonald Funeral Home website provides the reader with logical views of the website explaining that they offer affordable prices to all families. An individual may be more prone to use the MacDonald funeral home over other funeral homes because of the lower price. The MacDonald funeral home has a photo explaining that they are not just funeral directors, but that they are experts are transforming an individual's
One example of logos is “Right now, NASA's annual budget is half a penny on your tax dollar. For twice that--a penny on a dollar--we can transform the country from a sullen, dispirited nation, weary of economic struggle, to one where it has reclaimed its 20th century birthright to dream of tomorrow.” It’s hard to argue against spending just one penny per tax dollar when just two years of military spending is more than NASA has received in 50 years. Another example is “Space is a multidimensional enterprise that taps the frontiers of many disciplines: biology, chemistry, physics, astrophysics, geology, atmospherics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering.” One of the important roles of the audience, the US Senate, is to keep their constituents happy; putting more money into NASA makes sense because uses wide variety of fields which in turn creates jobs.
Without delay, the author uses logos to back up his claim by giving the audience some evidence of some restaurants statistics. Tom Meyer tells Kliman for the most part restaurants only use about 30 percent of local foods and can that percent could go up to 40 or 50 in the summer months. By using Meyer statistics Kliman is using logos to make the audience realize “all products aren’t equal. But if local is something to support, something that matters, shouldn’t it matter for the other 70 percent?” (Kliman 72) Meaning he uses logos to appeal to the audience that most restaurants don’t worry about the 70 percent but they should because it does make a difference. In the last section of Kliman’s essay “A Glimpse of the Future, Part Two” the author uses both ethos and logos when he talks to the co-founder Ype Von Hengst of the Silver Diner. Hengst uses logos to claim that it was a necessity to overhaul his diner, to now serve fresher ingredients and source more local things into his diner. He backs his claim up by giving you a fact about how much the diners standards have improved by saying “local accounted for 10
McCullough uses logos to convince his audience of Boston College graduates, to keep reading and learning throughout their lives. He uses quotes, several examples, and one statistic to persuade the students. He first uses logos to persuade them that information can be worth a fortune and can save lives, and that “The value of information, facts, figures, and the like, depends on what we make of it” (p.2).
In recent decades various groups across North America have appealed to the team to renounce the logo, According to

Identifying Ethos, Pathos and Logos in “This is Water” Look back over the speech in order to complete the following. How does David Foster Wallace build his ETHOS in the speech? Give 5 SPECIFIC examples.

“I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends-from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase,” (Jennifer Aniston). The best teachers are those experiences which challenge us. If people work to understand these relationships, they will gain great knowledge. In the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie is a girl who goes through life clueless of what love means and struggles to find its true purpose. In the novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, O’Brien tells his stories about the Vietnam War and talks about those he has lost in the
In the movie “Dead Poets Society” they showed examples that appeal using logos.To start,they said “words and ideas can change the world”. This is shown when everyone finds out about the Dead Poets Society .The principal and the parents thought it was insane, but the students thought it was so cool because the idea that the members in the Dead Poets Society were so different than everyone else the adults were terrified because they didn’t know what to do.The idea of them being different than the other students was unacceptable to the adults so they changed the rules and the fired Mr.keating so that they couldn’t be different.To conclude,one idea can change a lot for themselves or the people around them.
Logos can be recognized in Steve Jobs’ Commencement Speech when he used logic to convince the audience. Logically speaking about death, Steve Jobs convinced the audience to spend their time wisely because they will not live forever. After speaking about when he was told he had an incurable form of cancer and then later found out it was actually a rare cancer that was curable, Jobs said, “Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.” Jobs had been in a place where he thought he was going to face death, and it gave him a greater understanding
There are not many uses of logos in this article, it can clearly be seen that this was the rhetoric device with the least amount of time spent one. Although it is not really used in the article, it can still be seen when she speaks of the MacArthur test that is currently used, and the
Gorgias goes on to explain three different occupations that use Logos to gain acceptance of opinions. Ultimately, Gorgias finishes comparing Logos to the effects of a drug (Freeman).

In many papers you will notice different types of persuasion that help the writer to give a reader a better of understanding of the paper. These types of persuasion are called rhetorical appeals.

When writing a paper a person generally uses at least one rhetorical appeal to persuade their audience.
