4 Designers quotes, and advice.

Design Council - David Kester

"Where does design come in? Design isn't always what we think it is, design is normally the way we think about things right from the beginning of a problem and actually using it to understand the problem."

Someone - Simon Manchipp, Gary Hall, David Law

launching/relaunch and managing brands.
Their opinion "Logos are dying, as it is expensive, not very useful, confusing and boring"

(I strongly disagree! Logos and branding works together my opinion is that a brand must have a logo for a business to expand. Logo on it's own can sometimes leave question marks in our minds, this is where branding comes in to established what it is, the logo acts as a device that can then be applied with the brand identity to anything that will convey, who they are, what they do and where they from. once the brand identity and logo are seen together from it's demographic then the logo acts as a sign, a mark of identity on its own.)

Everyone has opinions what's yours?
