James Barnard
I’m an award-winning logo and visual identity designer, educator, international speaker and owner of logo design studio Barnard Co.
As a former designer for the magazine and newspaper industry in the UK, I have more than 15 years of experience. These days I run my operation from the Gold Coast, Australia, after emigrating from London in 2021.
I make videos on how to be a better designer, navigating your software, plus the common pitfalls of the logo design industry.
