Today in our series of interviews with the stylus gods, I'm pleased to bring you an interview with a highly regarded logo designer from around the globe, Mr Miles Newlyn<\/a>...<\/p>\n Miles Newlyn<\/p><\/div>\n Once again, if you don't know his name, his work will certainly be very familiar to you. Unilever, Suez, Honda, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale<\/em> and Skittles<\/em> are just some of the logos this Londoner, also renowned for his typographic work via the X&Y foundry he created, is capable of. A freelance designer, Miles Newlyn has never worked for an agency, a rare fact for a graphic designer of his stature.<\/p>\n Taking a fresh, unconventional look at logotype design, Miles Newlyn agreed to answer ActuLogo's questions.<\/p>\n Tate Gallery logos<\/p><\/div>\n ActuLogo :\u00a0<\/strong>What do logos represent for you today ?<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Miles Newlyn :<\/strong> The role of a logo today is simply to be recognizable, memorable and distinct from others. It's an organization's identifier.<\/p>\n AL :<\/strong>You've designed many world-famous logos, including those for Unilever, Suez and the Tate Gallery. What is your creative process for a logo?<\/em><\/p>\n M. N. :<\/strong> I'm often asked to describe my process. I don't have one. What surprises me is that when I see what I've done, many people claim that there's a certain process that led to the result. But creativity isn't a process, it's a state. The best I can say is that I listen, I give my full attention to the client. I don't let anything get in the way of that attention. There's no agenda, nothing I don't want to complete, there's no need as long as I enjoy doing it. If the work is done with joy, awareness and confidence, it will be the best you can do.<\/p>\n<\/a>
