Some clients are so worse , when you send them a practical logo like the one James made. They outright reject that. And then they like the one with vector microphone.

i actually think the microphone was better. looked cooler by far the other one looked like something you'd get from a online logo generator

​@@festusbojangles7027 Hm, you probably don't really know much about designing. You could literally get that same microphone at *freepik* in less than 1 min, which is what I'm 100% sure he did, since he didn't present any drafts, concepts, ideas, etc. Also, I'm pretty sure Will asked them to design a logo for a spotify podcast, not a radio station from the 90s

Unless James at 7:40 is an absolute machine of a designer there is no way he created all variations, presentation, and posters in 3 hours, unless he is using some type of templates for everything

The $150 one was simply and mildly put - TRASH!!! That guy doesn't really know much of logo design. Rest were all at least workable or usable even if not perfect, but sensible for the price.

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

While I don't necessarily have any issue using vector pre-mades, it's all about implementation and what you do to improve on the stock assets. This being said, I've worked for companies who do this as a time saver, and as much as it crushes the designer in me, most clients don't give a shit about perfect original creations. It shouldn't be the rule or anything, but sometimes we need to remember that we aren't doing work for other graphic designers.

[@danielat544]

@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Well, if he had made it somehow right, we wouldn't be commenting about it. Still, I know it's your opinion and I respect it! But no brief, no idea, no concept, no vision, nothing, just taking an svg file and implementing it like if he didn't cared much. For $150 we have seen already on this channel how much work can be done for that budget. I'm not judging by the way he works, it's fine, the problem is that he sells his profile as an experienced designer, and if we talk about reviewing, it's not a good work at all and says how much he has to improve and focus to deliver a better product.

I've been looking at all of these videos and getting to the brief and then give myself about 20-30 minutes to work on the design before continuing the video. This is the first one that I genuinely liked mine more than all of those presented. Nobody here seemed to consider the possible educational aspect. I feel that a podcast in itself is far too vague for certain expectations since there are innumerable different topics and formats. (Edit: I just noticed pencils in the last one) I personally ended up with a very basic open book (to represent the story-telling and professional/educational component), with the microphone in the center, sound wave to the right for "P" (which everybody thought of).
