In the article, Designer tweak famous logos to use less ink, by Jacopo Prisco, they write how logo designers could save companies money and help save the environment just by doing some minor tweaks to a logo. My initial reaction to this article was that I have always seen these types of logos in the wild, but I thought it was purely for aesthetic design.

My initial reaction after reading the New York Times article about the chief design officer for Nike is that I am surprised at the amount of work that he manages to get done. It seems like he does not work that much, but he is still able to manage 1,000 workers. It is even more amazing to see the position he is in despite having dyslexia. In fact, using his disability to his advantage exemplifies the amount of drive and passion he probably has.
