[...] To Logo Design Love. Interviews with logo designers are all well and good I suppose, but after a while, many start to sound, or read, the same. Some tips. Sources of inspiration. The usual. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had an interview that was a little off the beaten path? Imagine if there was a designer who specializes in, oh, I dunno, Death Metal and Goth Rock logos. He’d be interesting to talk to, huh? Well, look no further, because it just so happens there is. His name is Christophe Szpajdel (pronounced “shpydel”) and he’s considered “Lord of the Logos” among the Black Metal set. Logo Design Love, the all-things-logo blog curated by UK designer David Airey features an interview with Szpajdel (by Blair Thomson) and takes a look at his work, his new book and how he finds inspiration for his famous nature-driven work. Alas, I’m a little late to the party with this one, so you’ve missed out on the free draw for the “Lord of Logos” book. Humble apols for that, but the interview is still worth a read, free book or not. Besides, if you’re really gung-ho, you can always buy it via a link at the piece. [Logo Design Love] [...]

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. I’ll see what I can do.

The random winner for a signed copy of Christophe’s book is Alicia Viera, who I’ll email now.

I would like for you to interview Felix Sockwell. He just did the new logo for Fashionista and I really like his style. http://felixsockwell.com/

Nice post! Love rocky logos :D

I’d like Wally Olins to be interviewed , he designed the Orange logo, and I like it very much The simplicity and use of the true color and name of it is stunning. And the powerfull mix of orange-black or orange-white brand styling is great.

SªYºNªRª!

Interesting interview. His work is quite intricate – I like it. I was hoping that some of the examples would embiggen when clicked but oh well. And I’ll second Nuno Jacinto’s suggestion of Carlos Segura as a future interview subject.
