Ideas Generation

Idea 1

For my first idea I was planning on doing a rather simple, but hopefully attractive design, something that is similar to the college's current logo. using the black logo on white background. I plan to have to the text 'Plymouth College of Art Interactive Media and Game Arts.' With a black outline shape of a controller underneath that.
While this may be simplistic, I'm hoping my idea of this being "less is more" will work.
While the controller is to symbolise the course as an Interactive media and Game Arts course, and will hopefully attract attention of people interested in education for Game design. I do however worry this will not resemble the course enough. Perhaps I could add more symbols representing what sort of things will be used for this course.

Idea 2

For my second idea I was imaging an interactive game, which involves picking the a certain symbol resembling, perhaps the software used in the course. So for example, there would be an icon of Adobe Flash , Photoshop, 3D max e.g And when the button is interacted with, it will continue to a description of what to expect from the course and how these software's are used throughout the course.
One idea of game to use behind this idea would be something similar to 'Space Invaders'. It could be under that style, having to shoot the icons as they descend down the banner.
