Interesting look at Draplin's process:

how is any if not all of this not common sense? i don't understand how this video is getting so much traction
- Common sense is pretty rare these days.breadlegz
- So many people get the process wronggoldieboy
- I'm with you. He sketches...he fuck about in illustrator. It's not even that great a logo. He entertaining sort ofmarychain
- Have you ever seen the entries on 99designs.com? Or seen menus designed in Comic Sans?omahadesigns

I think he is just a good presenter and likeable guy. I know/do all that he mentioned there but still enjoyed the video.

So did he just say - you sketch some ideas on paper, then move onto a computer to refine and create versions - wow - revolutionary thinking there ha. Is this for real?
- That being said he seems like a nice guy, just don't get how any designers wouldn't do this anyway?fadein11
- I've met a few that don't. Straight on to their machines without any thought. Some people forget to ask themselves the most obvious questionsgoldieboy
- questionsgoldieboy
- I used to do this for all of them, but once in awhile I just make a couple on the computer and that's it.monospaced
- been drawing my own personal logo in sketches for months now, hate it allmonospaced
- hardest logo to designgoldieboy
- < personal logos hardest thing of all - no brief apart from ego - good font - first name and surnname - job done.fadein11
- that simple eh fadein11? Guess you should be the one getting invited to do videos, interviews, conferences, etc.OSFA
- but I guess you've done a few of those already right? Share?OSFA

client would say... i dont like the colour, can you add a picture of my dog into it as everyone in the industry knows how cute my dog is, can it be 3d, my 6 year old kid could have designed that, it looks like {insert company name here} you shouldnt copy them, can it be blue... you know like tree leaves only more red (???), etc etc
- to be fair, a six year old kid could have done that logofadein11

^ haha, then 15 minutes turns into 15 weeks.

This guy is making design fun and enjoyable. Remember when you were having fun?
- His videos would have been very inspiring as a young designer.monospaced
- < sorry didn't realise was aimed at kids. yep its good if aimed at kids.fadein11
- spot on mono. Was thinking he'd be a great teachergoldieboy
- He makes it seem like a process that is fulfilling. It's not always, we know that, but he is a great teachermonospaced

I can't finish the video, can't stand his... smugness. I'll call it smugness.
- he seems happy and so he should be getting all those views for speaking the obviousfadein11
- Really? The guys a good presenter not sure why the hate.the_reverend
- Smugness? He's just promoting good design and himself, and I think he's quite humble about it.monospaced
- < good design?fadein11
- breadlegz0
How is he smug?

Never heard of him before. Thanks for sharing and yup, I agree with all of you.
- monospaced0

- I like this guy.DRIFTMONKEY
- me toomonospaced
- +100 it is sad though. that new motel sign, are soooo bad. its hurts.akrok

The process and all that is all correct, simplicity, common sense design... problem is so few people/companies actually appreciate good design these days.
You have sites out there where someone posts a logo project they want to get done, people bid on it, and the project goes to the clown in india willing to do it for $25. That's what you're really up against. The challenge is to get an in with some clients that actually are concerned with quality and willing to pay a little bit to get it. It's very hard to find these days, so good designers just say fuck it and go work for a corporation.
- wordMaaku
- the chances of developing something they like though is increased greatly with the right processmonospaced
- Plenty of people out there that know they need a pro.jtb26
- That know they get what they pay for in a $25 logo. Clients like this of all sizes.jtb26
- This comment seems awfully jaded, and while it's your experience I wouldn't say that it's representative.jtb26
- draplin himself says this happens to him lolCygnusZero4

It's not "hate" for fucks sake, I just don't like his presentation style.
- You're one of the few that don't like his presentation style then. But that's ok!the_reverend
- Big Bang Theory is popular, so if you don't like it you're weird.i_monk

This is great for clients to see, show them how much thought and effort goes into these things. They know very little about the process.
- yupbreadlegz
- they dont appreciate this sort of thing though. they are concerned about how much they have to spend.CygnusZero4
- "See, it only takes 15 minutes, why are they charging us for 17 weeks of work?"i_monk
- yeah i wouldnt even want them to see this. makes it look too easy, like it is just $100 worth of work.CygnusZero4
- <<. < yuppscruffics
- He's pretty transparent that sketching stage takes a long time, as does designingmonospaced
- The video has him finding a solution in minutes, and that's what some will take away.i_monk
- yeah but he says, i did this in 15 minutes imagine what i can do in a week..._niko
- It didn't take 15 minutes. It took him a whole career and years of experience to be able to do that in 15b minutesOSFA

Well shit, his wealth of logo design knowledge did not translate to his website. Lazy. Probably spent as much time on this site as he did that logo.
- He actually has a lot of terrible clip art looking logos too.CygnusZero4
- The site mentioning it looks best in Camino is an indicator of age too.nikdaum

I should never show a young designer this "design forum" as it will quickly ruin their enthusiasm. Just a bunch of jaded designers who get mad when someone else gets recognition.

Thank about this:
He made a video for Lynda.com and, as you can imagine, their videos cater to people LEARNING design, technology, etc.
--------- good words from a good man.capn_ron
- Good comment by a good man.studderine
- I don't care that he's getting recognition. Now what?i_monk
- recognition for what? being a logo designer? hes not a famous rock star.CygnusZero4
- the point is that the industry is what it is. swallowed up by indians who will work for beans.CygnusZero4

Fun to watch none the less
