Pupils needing extra support: Can be provided with the Activity: Logo shapes to support them with ideas. Generate name and colour scheme ideas as a class before idea generation. Share slide 6 of the Presentation: Branding and identity and challenge the pupils to copy the logo. Allow them to pick apart the example logo through the File: Example Sketchpad logo.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be encouraged to work independently and justify their choices in greater detail. Can be challenged to specify further requirements of the logo or by providing an alternative design on 'Sketchpad' for another purpose or theme.
