    How have we gotten to the point where the guy in the front row thinks it's okay to sit there (IN THE FRONT ROW) and feign interest in Michael Bierut's presentation while playing on his phone for 25 minutes?

    After several decades of logo design: 'Logos are weird because on one level, they're this weird piece of commercial marketing -- they're a commercial marketing tool. On the other hand, people do take them personally. It's someone's signature. It's the flag that they fight under. It's the sign over the door they go to five days a week or more. So it does mean a little bit more to them than just colors and shapes, I find.' -- Mike Bierut
