Logo Design for App
“Buddy Abroad” ended up having the most votes in our team so that’s the name we ended up going with for our app. It took me 5 minutes to come up with Logo 1.0, and Logo 3.0 within 10 minutes. Which combined the earth, two local points, and a ring to represent the idea of our app
