Winter Learning Journey- Day 2 Bonus

Bonus: It is time to get creative! For this bonus activity you are asked to design a simple logo for the next Summer Olympic Games. They will be held in Tokyo, Japan in 2020. The Olympic committee in Japan has already created four possible options for the logo (see below) but I think that you can create something even more interesting and attractive!

Current Options – Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Logo

To create a logo I would suggest that you use the Design

Mantic website. Click on the Design Mantic link. It will bring you to the homepage for the site. Enter ‘Tokyo 2020’ into the ‘Company Name’ box and select ‘Sport & Fitness’ from the drop down menu in the  ‘Industry’ box. From there you can create your own logo. When your logo is finished, copy and paste it onto your blog along with a short explanation of your design.

Why I picked this logo because it makes me happy. Why it makes me happy because I just like the picture. Why I picked it because it looks like they are celebrating and they are singing some songs.

Bonus: During the ancient Olympic Games, men were allowed to compete in the events but women were not. In fact, women were often forbidden from even watching the games. In your opinion, is this a fair rule? Why or why not? On your blog please tell us what you think about this interesting rule.

The rule is fair because if boys are allowed to go to the game then the girls will go to the game with them.

Why should they go because boys does not like girls but girls do everything for boys boys.
