Logo Critique
MCG Logo:
Designed by graphic designer Richard Henderson, who has created many known logos for BHP Billiton and Crown.
The MCG logo, Henderson has designed it using shape as its Hierarchy to create the idea of a stadium. Oraganic Line is produced around the oval which gives the logo a more contemporary and modern theme throughout the logo.
I believe the logo has a futuristic and minimalistic theme to it with the geometric and square like typeface and has been design very simple and effective.
The logo is based on the shape of the MCG and has been created to be stylised replica to identify the sports and the stadium.
Personally I see the design is effective and represents everything the it supposed to as it represents sport such as football, cricket and the stadium all in one simple design.

Carlton Football Club Application
The logo mainly using typography the use of serif typeface gives it the authentic,classic and traditional outcome and is created with a well balanced composition and fits perfectly in the centre of the application. The use of simple colours (White & Navy Blue) is giving off the less is more and work quiet effective. Curve formation of the letter C which wraps around shows that the point of reference regards to relating it to football is that Carlton is a team and covers all boundaries.
So again i believe the logo and the application is simple, effective and successful.

Greek Mythology Research Report
Sirens
History:
In the Greek Mythology Siren's were beautiful female creatures that were portrayed to lure sailors in with the highly enchanting voices and songs to the point of shipwreck and death.
Sailors such as Odysseus demanded his boat crew to plug wax in there ears so they were unable to hear the seductive voices trying to lure them in.
It was said that there was two to three Siren's named: Peisinoe, Agalope and Thelxiepeia. The siren's lived on an Island, called anthemoessa, in the sea between Sicily and Italy.
Adventures:
Sirens are known for the luring voice and seductive appearance. Luring sailors in and bringing them to death.
It was said that the voices of the Siren's were heard amongst the waves crashing and the gloomy, stormy weather.
The Relationships:
Sirens were the Daughters of the sea God Phorcy's or the river God Achelous.
The Appearance:
Siren's appearance started as a very odd creature who had features of a bird and half women. With the myth saying that their feathers had been plucked and the Siren's we no longer able to fly they had then turned half fish which discovers the Mermaid theory.
Analyse any symbols associated with the creature:
Beauty: Siren's unique beauty of half women and half fish was a primal power they had over man.
Voice: The voice was used to enhance the beauty and was used to seduce man with the two key symbols created a profound intensity of power.
Interpret it's evolution through history and popular culture:
As known as seductive, sexual and often evil creatures over time the Siren has been shown in shapes and form in movies, illustrations and animation such as Ariel which is known for the sweet red headed mermaid which is a complete opposite to the traditional Siren.
Diving: The use of swimming can relate back to Sirens and how the lived in water
Synchronise swimming: Synchronise swimming can be used to symbolise the formation the sirens used to lure men in.
