MI5 LOGO RESEARCH - SI5 LOGO CREATION

 The MI5 is a very well known intelligence agency in the government. They work to protect the UK against threats to national security. Their role is defined as "the protection of national security and in particular its protection against threats such as terrorism, espionage and sabotage, the activities of agents of foreign powers, and from actions intended to overthrow or undermine parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means".

Our trailer idea involves a secret agency within the government that aims to complete a similar task: to protect the UK against threats. We wanted to make a logo of our own so that we could use it as a prop on a badge for our trailer.

We used a logo making website and started off with two shapes: a triangle and a circle. We then wrote out 'SI5'. We decided to make the logo dark to indicate that this agency was dangerous and could cause harm. We chose to use blue, grey and black because the colours all go well together.

We then fit all of the components together and realised that the 'SI5' wasn't as visible as we wanted it, so we ended up making the font a lighter shade of blue to the logo was clear. We also made the triangle a shade lighter as well.

Below is the final logo that we produced. It is very simple, but we will use it as a prop for our trailer to make out agency appear real.
