8. So, what is a logo? With Ian Paget

Author: Bryan Dowley June 26, 2021 Duration: 1:04:00

In episode 8 of Pirated radio I speak to logo wizard Ian Paget about his process he goes through when undertaking a brief, what a logo actually is and what its used for (spoiler, it might be different than you may think) and we also touch on the future of logo design and the inevitability that computers will take all our jobs. Pleasant, to say the least. Enjoy!


Bryan Dowley's Pirated Radio operates on a frequency all its own, drifting through the eclectic intersections of art and design. This isn't a lecture series or a formal interview circuit; it feels more like tuning into a late-night broadcast from a studio where creative ideas have no borders. Each episode is a curated transmission, built around the raw and often unseen processes that fuel visual culture, from the initial sketch in a designer's notebook to the final piece in a gallery. You'll hear conversations that meander through the practical struggles and unexpected inspirations behind creative work, offering a sense of eavesdropping on a candid dialogue between maker and curator. The atmosphere of this podcast is intentionally unpolished, prioritizing the genuine exchange of ideas over slick production. It’s for anyone who finds fascination in the how and why of artistic expression, not just the finished product. Dowley guides these explorations with a presenter's ease, making complex or niche topics feel accessible and immediately engaging. If your interests lean toward the crafted, the visual, and the thoughtfully unconventional, this signal is worth searching for.
