Graphic Design Dialogue – Unfiltered Discussions on Logos & Brands with James Barnard, Kristy Campbell, & Will Paterson
What happens when four of the sharpest minds in design come together to critique the world’s most iconic logos? You get a conversation that’s as insightful as it is unfiltered.
This week on The Angry Designer, we’re shaking things up with a Design Dialogue featuring industry heavyweights James Barnard, Kristy Campbell, Will Paterson, and yours truly. We’re putting our favorite—and not-so-favorite—logos under the microscope, dissecting what works, what doesn’t, and why some designs stand the test of time while others miss the mark.
But it’s not just about logos. We’re diving into the philosophy behind design, the importance of brand identity, and how even the most controversial rebrands can spark a heated debate. And yes, we’re not holding back—whether it’s praising a nostalgic gem or tearing apart a logo that just doesn’t cut it.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- The most iconic and controversial logos and why they evoke such strong reactions
- The philosophy of brand identity and its impact on design success
- Real-world examples of logo rebrands that worked—and those that flopped
- How top designers handle critique, feedback, and the internet’s harshest trolls
By the end of this episode, you’ll see design through the eyes of experts who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what makes a logo truly great. So if you’re ready for some candid design talk and a few laughs along the way, hit that play button and join the conversation.
