Jon is a graphic designer and illustrator but has worked across a broad spectrum of mediums in his career. Most of us will be familiar with Jons work, whether it be the first Firefox logo, or Spotify's icons, or ANZ customers in Australia will recognise his icons in their applications. Having worked with Jon many times over the years, I can honestly say he’s one of the best in the world at what he does, so was incredibly happy to have him on the show.Also joining in on the conversation was Principal Designer at Intuit, Aman Braich who is a brand expert and helping reshape the brand identity for Intuit both in Australia and the US. So I sandwiched between icon and brand gurus in this episode. We discussed the differences and similarities between icon and brand, governance of both, the importance of context in design, and much more.LinksView Jons work at Hicks DesignWatch Jon talk about The Icon Design ProcessRead Jons blogFollow Jon on TwitterConnect with Jon on LinkedInConnect with Aman Braich on LinkedInCreators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer ________________________BRING THIS IS HCD INTO YOUR ORGANISATION→ Train my organisation https://www.thisishcd.com/training→ Video Courses https://www.thisishcd.com/courses→ Coaching Community (Coaching, Courses, WhatsApp) https://www.thisishcd.com/members→ Gerry's consultancy (Service Design and Design Research) https://humana.design/________________________BECOME A DIRECTORY MEMBER (IT'S FREE!) and get all of this→ FREE Introduction to Journey Management course with Marc Stickdorn & Gerry Scullion (Sign up for free with an email)https://www.thisishcd.com/dashboard/learning/introduction-to-journey-management→ Discover & Connect with others https://www.thisishcd.com/directory→ Claim partner discounts https://www.thisishcd.com/partnersGerry wears clothes from Sutsu, and has a coupon code for them, as well as Smaply, Scenario Cards, Unit 1 and more...________________________All episodes have been produced by This is Podcasting.
