Sounds very interesting and complete for a future logo designer.
By Amanda Brown
Good baseline historical knowledge thus far, however, I'm looking forward to getting more detailed into execution and design.
By Fabian Sweed
very clear on information
By Nathaniel Green
Its super informative and interesting. The pace is a little slow for me. I remember things better by having lots of examples and seeing application, slow pace just doesn't do much for me.
