Logotypes by Doyald Young
Published on May 18, 2012
Lets talk today about a Logotype Designer called Doyald Young. From humble beginnings in a small Texas town eight decades ago comes legendary typographer, logotype designer, author, and teacher Doyald Young. As elegant as his script fonts and as wise as his set of Oxford English dictionaries, Young sets the standard for his craft. Friend and designer Stefan Bucher describes Young as “…someone who could easily have done what he does in the Renaissance, and could easily do it 300 years from now.” In this installment of Creative Inspirations, we enjoy a window into the life of this accomplished artisan as he works with joyous focus in his favorite spot, his drawing table. Lynda follow Young to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena where he shares his talents with tomorrow’s designers. He recalls the hundreds of iterations he went through in creating the logo for Prudential, and he puts pencil to tissue creating the pages for his next book about script lettering, Learning Curves. Young’s story is compelling, captivating, and most of all, inspiring.
