4) ABSTRACT LOGO MARKS
An abstract mark is a specific type of pictorial logo. Instead of being a recognizable image—like an apple or a bird—it’s an abstract geometric form that represents your business.
It is that logo that is birthed from an abstract thought, the shape or pictorial mark does not always match the logo name...

5) MASCOTS

Ever seen brand identities like our very own O.B.O logo mark, skibii's own floated label, broad shaggi logo mark in his videos, they're all examples of a mascot logo.
Mascot logos are logos that involve an illustrated character. Often colorful, sometimes cartoonish, and most always fun, the mascot logo is a great way to create your very own brand face...

6) COMBINATION MARK

A combination mark is a logo comprised of a combined wordmark or lettermark and a pictorial mark, abstract mark, or mascot.
It makes use of graphic or geometric shapes and words.
It is a combination of either wordmark or lettermark...etc


7) THE EMBLEM

N.Y.S.C, E.F.C.C, UNIBEN, The Nigerian federal govt seal are all emblem logos.
An emblem logo consists of font inside a symbol or an icon; think badges, seals and crests. These logos tend to have a traditional appearance about them that can make a striking impact, thus they are often the go-to choice for many schools, organizations or government agencies.

A logo  is an image that symbolizes your business. But did you know there are 7 different types of logos?

So your logo is more like what gives your brand a face. Before people use your brand or access your service, they see your logo. So a logo design goes a long way to define your business.
Now majorly we have seven different types of logo designs...

1) MONOGRAM or LETTERMARKS

Monogram logos or lettermarks are logos that consist of letters, usually brand initials. IBM, CNN, HP, HBO… Noticing a pattern, yes? They’re the initialisms of a few famous businesses with rather lengthy names. With 2 or 3 words to remember, they’ve each turned to using their initials for brand-identification purposes.

Now some banks and huge brands make use of this style of logo design, it utilizes fonts and very few shapes in some cases. So when you're designing a brand that has a long name, you abbreviate the initials and do a lettermark (just kidding, your choice anyways...)

2) WORDMARKS

Since I said earlier that lettermarks are for logos with long names, where their initials are used as abbreviations and then in turn utilized to design a lettermark.
A wordmark is similar to a lettermark, a wordmark or logotype is a font-based logo that focuses on a business’ name alone. Think Visa and Coca-Cola. Wordmark logos work really well when a company has a succinct and distinct name. Google’s logo is a great example of this.
So a wordmark is mostly required when you have a really dope name, you gotta make the logo really dope...

3) PICTORIAL MARK
A pictorial mark (sometimes called brand mark or logo symbol) is an icon—or graphic-based logo. It’s probably the image that comes to mind when you think “logo”: the iconic Apple logo, the Twitter bird, the Target bullseye.
A pictorial mark is simply using a shape(graphic based symbol) to represent a brand, it has to be really unique and simple to drive home the point.

Let me drop this for the now...
Too many activities.

It may be difficult but bro move on.

My advice seriously this days for young people in relationship is don't give it your all until you're sure.

Build yourself bro, focus on you...mentally, financially and otherwise....
Then maybe the right one will come along the way..

Karleb:
Thanks.

What else can you say about deployment and the states chosen during registration? As in, is there any assurance that I will be deployed to any of the states I chose?

Surely you are most likely to be sent to the states you selected.
For example, you hail from Delta, schooled in Oyo. So the south and west are out of it. You're most likely going to the North or middlebelt or the east if God is on your side...


Let me give instances...
I come from Delta, schooled in Edo
My states can be; Kaduna, Nassarawa, Akwa-Ibom and Ogun/Anambra.

Bros you are most likely to end up in Kaduna or Nassarawa than any of the other two.

That's why I always advice PCM to select states that they would travel to without hitch or fear. If you select sokoto, Adamawa, Kebbi, telling yourself that it's just for selection, don't be surprised if you fall within the category of schooling in the south and being from the east or south, you'll go there...

Whether two days journey you go first spend 21 days there before you relocate or redeploy.
God bless...

Karleb:
OP!!!!!

@REDInks... I've got two questions:

1. What can you really say about going to camp early, as in before 20th.

2. Do they have ball house in camp? Now this one is funny and I know but I believe Man Utd are back to winning ways and I wouldn't want to miss a match for anything.

1) If you arrive early, you're more to avoid the rush and settle down properly before the crowd arrives. Better still on or before 20th.

2) There may be no room to watch matches, as activities baptise the entire day, so livescore na your friend.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Some bodies will come during the boring lectures period, please try to grab as Mich as you can and some of them will offer training in HSE and PM, so do well to know which is authentic and is financially suited to your pocket. But the best demands the best.

You can also join other small groups in camp like SDG, U-Report and ENGINE, that is if you have in your camps. Even servicom is in every camp, you can be their observer and correspondent.

REDEPLOYMENT PROCESS

The redeployment forms normally come out during the second week, where you will asked to collect from the camp director office or maybe in the main halls but he is mostly the one in charge of relocation as he called it in my camp.
The forms should be filled accordingly and also, the relocation is based on two reasons ; Marriage for the females only and then health conditions for both sex. No third parties reasons are entertained. So if you're using a medical report make sure you don't not bring a fully fit medical certificate because you're only conflicting yourself. Because your file will be looked into during the period of relocation. You may be asked to face a panel of doctors to screen an authenticate your claim of health challenge, so make sure to cram the names of the drugs an know more about the disease or health challenge you're claiming. Also the medical report must be from a government hospital. No private hospital reports are entertained. Also make sure to have an handy doctor number, should in case they decide to call.


CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

The challenges are charging of phones and this should be done in Mami market, make sure you give it to trusted individuals that can safe guard your phones. But for me, I no charge for Mami any day. My room had a socket and so we utilized it judiciously. Note my room was special, just eight of us in the room. I entered camp the first day an this helps.

Washing and monitoring your whites, do this with knowledge that if not properly tagged and positioned where you can see and monitor, them go move am.
I did all my laundry with the Mami people. It cost me sha but better safe than sorry.

KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM SAED


Make sure to join a saed group and learn something new. SAED means Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development. So make sure you learn a skill, there are mostly few digital skill sets available as seen in my camp. But you can learn something else, something new. An make sure you understand that skill set to a particular level, it aids you later even when you leave camp.
For me I joined tailoring and fashion design because I had little experience coming from home and mainly because the ICT guys tat came were teaching excel and power point which I already knew. They were reserving web development for later, that one you must pay money.

So I broadened my knowledge properly on cutting and design of senator suits, trousers and pyjamas.
The classes are mostly theoretical for the first two days and then the whole thing gets serious.

For scholarship and training opportunities, try as much as possible to follow the boring lectures. Save the numbers and sites they will be sharing during the boring lectures, it will come a long way.
I don't know if I can share a message I received. Don't know how authentic but I will getting the eligibility forms today(this was 2/07/19)

Sorry for the break...the server was filled, could not post.


CLEARANCE

The clearance normally starts from the gate, make sure you don't have knives and sharp objects. And if you have drugs, you may choose to wrap them with your bedsheets to avoid getting them seized. For a camp like KD, where all their drugs don't seem to be so effective, your own drugs will save you a lot of stress.
The drugs you should carry should be mainly, pain relieve drugs (PCM, ibrufen etc), stomach ache drugs (Flagyl and TCN), for a camp like KD, their food disturbed a lot of southerners, then carry cough and catarrh drugs if you know your state of deployment is cold. This is for those coming to the north especially; kano, Kaduna, katsina, sokoto. The rain falls but if the sun shines na better sun.

[img][/img]

Make sure to carry at least extra photocopies of the documents you were asked to photocopy, and also carry at least 12 passports.

The clearance continues from the main halls, you will be given a form to proceed to collect your mattress and allocated to your room after which you can go on for medical clearance and others then the biometrics capturing.
After which you open a bank account depending on the camp and the banks that are there. Then you proceed to your platoon stand to get cleared and given your NYSC kits and you're good to go.

Remember that same day there will be parade by 4pm, so if I were you, I would not change into my whites instead stroll to Mami market, hide your ID tag and eat something, interact and know about the state. Slimfit your khaki because it must be bigger than you.
If you dey hurry to go parade then you're free to put on your white and act as the otondo that you are.


This is an addition for the politicians that want to hold posts in their platoons, make sure to socialize well before you guys are officially sworn in as corp members. Try to know the corp members with influence in your platoon, don't ask me how, you will know them when you see them. This will help you to get a post and please be eloquent, speak less but speak matured and enlightened.

There are hostel governors and governess for those who lost out in platoon elections, don't give up.

Remember this posts and positions bring you closer to the management of the camp and your PPA dey make sense as you dey know the authority more.

Good morning all, I am anonymous, left Kaduna orientation camp some weeks ago. I will be sharing some few experiences and advice from camp.

Good morning all, I am left Kaduna orientation camp some weeks ago. I will be sharing some few experiences and advice from camp.

I believe you're part of this new set of corpers Batch B, stream II, I greet you. I remain my humble self Alhaji Opeoluwa Onasan, Platoon 2.
Black Gold camp...


when I don cook my story finish, I go share...or not�

meanwhile, oga abeg try to group the paragraphs, eye dey pain me.

Capt.Ikechukwu Ohakwe was our camp commandant in Black gold camp. He was there until they said they gave him a promotion or an assignment. He had to leave for abuja.
That was the best we heard from him until two days back.

He was one of the best soldiers I have met, very friendly, a good listener and he helped a lot of people with their PPA.

Its painful he died in a road accident, carrying out an assignment for Nigeria Army.
It still pains me and a lot of us...

R.I.P Captain...
Only if we could reverse the hands of time, we would have preferred you remain our camp commandant for the entire period, maybe this would have been averted.

The defender accidentally cleared a ball and in the process her boot touched the Spanish player and they have a second successive penalty...

Total rubbish....

The match between south Africa and Spain also showed the same bias.
A defender from the south African side cleared a ball in the 18 yard box and while falling from clearing the ball, her boot made contact with the Spanish player...

Today's match of Nigeria and France saw France get a missed penalty retaken when their players also violated rules based on the new FIFA laws governing penalty taking.

The VAR was blind to the fault of the French ladies but was very opinionated to fault the goalkeeper...
Nice one...FIFA world cup...so much for fairplay...

Over and over again, we have seen scenarios where African teams are racially abused not only by the opposite team players but also by the referee through his decisions and calls in world cup finals. If we relive the experience in the u-20 world cup. We will see so many decisions go against African teams.

Am not trying to dispel the brute force of the African football or the lascivious way our boys played but we are still being cheated.

For reasons I can't understand, if we're black or we are Africans or is Football now a game to be won by the other coloured people.

Pls, for clarity, safety and otherwise. Is Kaduna an ideal place, an engineering student can serve, like is the security okay. The power(light), the water and the PPAs...


Pls I need replies...
