Group Logo and members

Our case study is about Coca-Cola, the biggest soft drink business in the world. At first we chose Square as our team name because we have four members in our group that we cooperate together.

Our team logo combines the logo of Coca-Cola and our team name while cropped as a square, so that related to the two main elements: Cola-Cola and Square.

Here are our team members! You can visit our blogs separately by clicking the links on the right-side box :)
