Design Rationale

In this assignment, provide us with a design rationale to accompany your YouTube channel icon concept incorporating the following topics:

Symbolism: Clarify and identify the meanings behind the icons you chose to incorporate into the design. Go into as much detail as you feel necessary, the history, cultural relevance, and so on.

Style: Why did you choose this style for the logo?

Typography: Explain why you chose the typefaces used in the logo. How do they relate to the rest of the design and the channel it represents?

Relationship: How does the concept relate to your channel’s personality, goals, vision, and values?

Color Theory: Explain the color choices. Why did you choose them? What does the color represent? How does the color choice relate to the new name?
