BUSINESS PLAN PROJECT (part II: Business Plan—Publisher & Paint)

Continuing from Part I:  You and your team of new business owners (of 2 or 3 people) will be developing a logo and a sales catalog.  You will be using Paint and/or MS Publisher to make the logo, MS Publisher to make the catalog and the Internet for research.  You will need to research other businesses to learn about their products and then make up products and prices for your own company. 

Part II: 

In MS Publisher or paint develop a company logo that shows the company’s product and personality. Keep in mind that the shape and colors should be consistent because it will be used on every company document such as letterheads, company clothing, and documentation. Save as BusPlan_ your company name_logo.

1. Logo cannot be more than 4 inches by 4 inches. The logo must be scalable to as small as 1 ½ inch by 1 ½ inch.
2. Write your company name and all the members clearly on the document.
3. Write a paragraph (somewhere on the document) explaining why this logo was developed. What do the shapes or objects signify? What do the colors mean?

In MS Publisher, save your first document as BusPlan_your company name_catalog.
