Milton Bradley
The Milton Bradley Company was an American board game manufacturer established by Milton Bradley in 1860. During its time the Milton Bradley Company created a lots of different kind of board game that require the players to think, cooperate and learn. In future the Milton Bradley Company will go much further than producing board games. We will try to help people have more connection with their friends, learn from the communication with others and do self-discovery through these experiences with fun. Milton Bradley will provide approaches and platforms for the audience to learn skills of social interaction and then practice in the following events. During the events, the audience will also be able to get information, knowledge and suggestions from others which could be helpful for them to improve themselves. Milton Bradley will expand its area to the whole community and build the connection cross generations in order to give the audience more chance and more choice.

Logo Anatomy I choose yellow and blue to be the main color in order to show the concept of enlighten. The bright star in the center can make a strong contrast with the dark blue wings to emphasize the light feeling. I also make the wordmark has the same round edge and star to make it consistent with the signature.
