Throughout this project, it is your job to keep an eye on the other team members, make sure they're staying on task, and help them out if they are having any difficulties.
The first and foremost task for the manager is to give the zoo a name! Make sure you consult with your teammates on this, so that no one is unhappy (you may need to put it to a vote).
Once your zoo is named, it's time for you to come up with a logo. For some inspiration, click the orange link below to see some other zoos' logos.
Zoo logo examples
Next, start brainstorming some ideas for your zoo's logo. Consult with your team's Zoo Keeper to find out which animals they have chosen for the zoo, as you may wish to feature one of these in the logo. Think about what you what your logo to represent.
Do some rough sketches of your ideas, and ask your teammates for their opinions.
Once you have decided on a logo, you'll need to draw a final copy, using either paper and pencil or a computer program such as Paint.
