The font I'm focusing on here is the store's logo: Vape STOP. I found this font on my walk back to my apartment after class. Vape shops mostly advertise to people attempting to quit smoking by suggesting that vaping is a safer option. They also advertise fun flavors to young adults and teenagers to try. The font used is super fluid and artsy, which leads me to believe the store is fun and welcoming to a younger audience. The font color is an eye-catching and vibrant red that catches the eyes of anybody walking by, whether they are interested in the product or not.

Kroger (week 2)

Kroger's logo is super unique and fun so I was excited to analyze this one. I found this one on my way back home. The white font pops out against the blue background which immediately catches the eye. The little streaks coming out of the k and the g in the logo are super fun and interesting. the loopy in the g also makes an image of a smile, something I only just now noticed while analyzing this (the eyes are the circles in the o and g and the smile is the streak on the bottom of the g!). Additionally, the font itself is super bubbly and rounded which adds to the appearance overall. The font is made to be very inviting to all audiences to show that Kroger is for anyone.
