Welcome to unsexy by design!
I’m not here to teach you how to design a logo. I’m not going to shout about the latest type trends. And I definitely won’t tell you to “elevate your brand with bold storytelling” (whatever the hell that means). This isn’t that kind of blog.
What I will do is talk honestly about design, the kind I actually do. The kind that rarely makes it to shiny billboards, the kind that most designers won’t take on willingly, and the kind that’s unsexy by design.
