American Sign Language Club Logo Design

How does your Logo design represent the after school club or activity? (Font choice, symbol, colors, layout, etc)
       My logo represents Sign Language Club because I incorporated the American flag in the background to differentiate the language from other sign language such as British Sign Language. I also created the shape of a sign because it is called American SIGN Language. In the sign, I also tried to make it more patriotic by making the word "American" in red, the hands signing ASL in white, and the words "Language Club" in blue. Both the sign shape and the hands symbolize the club.
Which process was most helpful in creating your design? (research thumbnail sketches, concept board, 2 rough drafts, digital draft on Gimp, etc.)
       The process that was most helpful in creating my design was the concept board because I laid out all my ideas on the paper and looking at all the different ways to design the logo for American Sign Language club. I actually used the hand signs I found from Google and incorporated it into my logo design.  
What was the most challenging aspect about the logo project?
       The most challenging aspect of the logo project was making sure my design looked like a logo. The very first logo design I created was this: 
I was really satisfied with this design at first, but it was really complicated and it was not really hard to understand, 
 but there was too much involved in that design, so the harder part was making it more simple and making it so it was easier to read and comprehend.
Are you satisfied with your final design? Why is your logo successful?  If you not satisfied with your design, what would you like to change?
       I am pretty satisfied with my final design because I worked really hard on it and it was successful because I got my point across and it is easy to see. I am happy with the end result of my logo design for the American Sign Language Club.
