James Barnard is back! One year on, exactly, we chat about how his world has changed so much since we first spoke, his TikTok and Instagram presence was flourishing but so much has happened in the past 12 months for him that I wanted to really do a recap with him and see how is world is today, both business and as a recognisable influence on the design industry. And he's such a bloody nice bloke too!

About James

I’m an award-winning logo designer, seasoned freelancer, design educator, dad and owner of Barnard.co. I specialise in designing brand identities and logos with meaning.

I got my start in graphic design more than a decade ago, working in the publishing industry. I have designed creative content for some of the UK’s biggest titles, including The Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Men’s Health, Empire, Cosmopolitan, The Times and many more.

These days I run my freelance logo design business from the Gold Coast, Australia, after emigrating from London in 2021. I have a ridiculous variety of skills in design software, which I aim to pass on to the next generation of designers through my social platforms.

My work has been published in the Logo Lounge and I speak as an authority in the world of logo design at design conferences, on podcasts and for other design channels.
