I wouldn't say designing a logo is easy, because you need great ideas and inspirations to visualise something; anything in your mind even before creating it out. The first step out is to mind mapped.
Lay a piece of paper out and start scribbling. Brainstorm on the word 'DanceWorks', write out anything that comes into your mind relating to the word DANCE, it can go as simple as;
For example,
- Hiphop
- Ballet
What else? What comes to your mind when you think of hiphop?
- Music?
- Stereo radio?
- Graffiti?
And the list goes on..
If you find yourself stuck with brainstorming, another alternative is to google! You can get all sort of ideas browsing through the wide variety of visuals on the internet, there's a saying, 'When in doubt, google', I don't know about you but it always work for me!
It doesn't have to be very fanciful, many times simplicity works just as good. :D
Okay, let's now look at some of the Past logo from DanceWorks!
DanceWorks! 2007
It's as simple as it looks yet the message is brought across.

DanceWorks! 2008
See how the logo are always kept within 2/3 colours.

DanceWorks! 2009

DanceWorks! 2010
The designer creatively used heartbeat to depict his/her concept of Dance.

DanceWorks! 2011
Simple used of initials makes it look refreshing, and how the little splashes are carefully included into the logo.

DanceWorks! 2012
Again, the use of initials, wings that depicts flying. A slight tilt to add a little fun to it.
I hope all the information above could help you gather some thoughts on how you would like to start on yours! Come on, start doodling today, who knows it might spark off your inner creativity that you have never realize!
Most importantly, a brand new iPad 2 is waiting for you! Don't wait!
