Here, we are going to see how to create a logo for an educational institute / college / university. They use sheild as main part of the logo and some of their services will be represented by adding small icons inside. For examble they are teaching mechanaical engineering related courses.

Softwares used: I used Adobe Flash here. Adobe Illustrator also helpful while designing vector logos.

you can get lot of reference images from internet for Book, ribbon, shield, winners cup, pulse wheel and graduation cap icon. There are lot of shield models are available. we have to choose the one for your logo. i am impressed with Liverpool logo sheild model and tried to modify it.
