Hi guys! Now I'll show you some steps to make a logo.
First of all, sir Reza asked us to choose 2 of the city that he has written on the whiteboard. Then, I chose Yogyakarta and Lombok. But after doing some researches, I found it that I really curious about Yogya. And Yogya has more interesting things rather than Lombok. Lombok's sources also minimum.
I chose Yogyakarta as my logo because I really in love with that city. It's like a traditional place in modernisation era. The people also warm hearted and consistent in keeping its traditions. Yogya is also awesome place. Not just the traditions, the city also has a limitless places that we have to see and visit! And the last, fyi I'm from Yogyakarta :-P HAHA it's not important. I just wanna know my homeland wells. Like Indonesian's maxim said:
