  • Great podcast

    Great podcast with great guests and insights, but recommend you simplify your questions for the guests. They get pretty dang long and feels like you’re putting words into their mouth.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Frank Clark | Patagonia + Gregory Logo Designer | History of Gear
Q: What did the design process look like when creating logos like Patagonia's and Gregory's?
We sketched ideas, looked at art for inspiration, and worked to keep designs simple, often using traditional tools like Prismacolor pencils.
Michael Hofler | Arc'teryx Logo Designer | History of Gear
Q: What would you change about the logo if you could redesign it?
I would design the bird in a more digital style using modular shapes, although I recognize that its organic look gives it unique appeal.
Michael Hofler | Arc'teryx Logo Designer | History of Gear
Q: Can you talk about the origins of the font and what went into some of your decisions around building the Arc'teryx font?
The font for Arc'teryx branding was based on a Roman font called Trajan, adjusted for stitching and to give it some weight.
Matthieu Nicol | Author - Fashion Army | History of Gear
Q: What are your thoughts on the US military's influence on civilian fashion and outdoor companies over the years?
There is a strong link between military research and civilian life, deeply intertwined in various aspects of design, including military textiles and popular culture.
Matthieu Nicol | Author - Fashion Army | History of Gear
Q: How would you define a visual researcher? What goes into becoming one?
A visual researcher is more of a collector of images, organizing them into imaginary museums, focusing on collecting, sequencing and sharing them.
