What does the design of the logo say to its viewers?

The Animal Planet logo uses the color green to imply health and growth. The different shades of green as well as the different sizes are used to represent the variety of animals on the planet. In addition, the placement of the word animal above the word planet reaffirms the fact that animals are found ON the planet. Lastly, the M was placed sideways to give an appearance of animal stripes.

The Crayon Box Daycare and Preschool logo has a childish look that would appeal to children. It even looks as if it was drawn by a preschooler. Furthermore it has various colors just like the ones found in a real crayon box. The colors pink and yellow are used to represent cheerfulness and innocence. The colors green and blue signify growth and peace, and the color purple represents creativity. All these characteristics are found in a daycare and preschool, so they incorporated them into the logo through the colors.

What effect has social media had on you?

Social media has been a major distraction in my life. I have had to learn to control my time spent on them because they made me lose my focus many times before. I even have had to deactivate certain social media accounts so that I could regain control of my life and my time.

It was very hard concentrating on the task at hand when I was constantly updating myself by browsing through all my accounts. Furthermore, I lost a lot of valuable time that I could have spent doing more productive or enjoyable things. For instance, I could have been spending more time with my family rather than wasting that time on social media. . Due to social media, I could no longer enjoy the moment. I was too busy in the technology world that reality just slipped right past me.  Therefore, I was no longer present or aware of some of the remarkable things that occurred in my life.

All in all, the technology of social media was more of a distraction than a benefit. It is a very powerful tool that could have helped me, but it stole from me instead. Due to social media, I lost many things. I lost control, time, and even memories that I could have made with those around me. However, I have realized the negative effect that social media has had on me. And as a result, I have been able to discipline myself in those areas of self-control and time management.
