Renowned graphic designer David Airey, born in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and currently residing in Edinburgh, Scotland, runs a design blog called LogoDesignLove, that lots of people out there, well, love. He was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about his new book titled ”Logo Design Love: A Guide to Creating Iconic Brand Identities“. 

Former Design Director of MASS MoCA, and current partner at id29 in Troy, NY, Doug Bartow, will personally guide you through the former factory complex in North Adams, now known as the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
