About James Barnard
Logo Designer
My name is James and I’m an award-winning logo and visual identity designer, design educator, international speaker and owner of logo design studio Barnard Co. I specialise in designing logos with meaning.
As a former designer for The Daily Telegraph, Bauer Media and Hearst Magazines in the UK, I have more than 15 years of experience in the design industry. These days I run my operation from the Gold Coast, Australia, after emigrating from London in 2021.
I’ve designed logos for restaurants, events, retailers, local authorities, small businesses, agencies… you name it! If you need help creating a visual identity for your business, you can find out more about my design packages here.
Design Educator
In 2022 I had my first viral moment as a designer. One of my logo design videos hit 3 million views and from that moment on my life hasn’t quite been the same.
I decided to start splitting my time between client work and design education. I started making content about how to be a better designer, how to navigate the software and the common pitfalls of the logo design industry.
Since then I’ve managed to amass a following of more than 900K people. I’ve spoken at multiple design conferences around the world including Adobe MAX. And I was even on the cover of a magazine!
My aim now is to pass on my wide variety of skills to the next generation of designers. If you’d like to get in touch regarding a partnership or a speaking event, feel free to email me here
