The original LOGO generated design

 

5: Tessellating Logo

We made a design made of ten pentagons which rotate to form a decagon inside them.

We liked this shape best of all and decided to use it for our basic shape.

Tesselating the LOGO design

 

We then we copied it out of the LOGO program and made copies of it in a graphics program and moved them around to make tessellating patterns.

 

This animation shows one way in which the design can be tessellated if parts of it are made to overlap.

Have a go at making your own tessellations with this shape on our tessellating game
