My time to shine! I used to work with Krzysiu (Krzysztof). He used to have MySpace popular page and he was designing logos for heavy-metal bands - sometimes (if not always) for free. Really nice guy. Oh, and Exeter got to the front page...

Cześć Krzysiu! Pozdrawiam (We used to work at COOP HB)

very cool story

Ah, town of my teen years, hidden under 300 pop ups and adspam

Legend! Seems like he might be a bit of a savant type though. Sad to hear that he's working at a supermarket. He started getting attention about a decade ago thanks to social media and had an artbook published, but despite his cult status and having some big name clients he would charge like 30 bucks to draw them a logo.

Funny to see this on the front page. When my son was a baby, I carried him in a sling and got my morning coffee from Christophe in the coop next door. Every day he greeted me with "It's the tired kangaroo man!"

Emperor's logo is indeed iconic. Shame that just like most of the bands he's made logos for, he can't live on his art.

A DevonLive article on HN: this must be one of the four horsemen!

Is this guy why every metal band logo looks like a bundle of twisted sticks? Or maybe he’s just particularly successful at it.

I'll pop in tomorrow and see if he does corporate logos

What a horrible ad and spam drenched website, poor Devonians :(

Logos as in corporate designs, not Greek / Christian logos.

yeah I tried to read the article, but somehow it's hard to see the content beyond a full screen ad inside a modal, a second modal asking me to allow notifications, an inline WhatsApp banner, a fixed ad in the footer,four display ads fencing the first paragraph and at this point I kind of gave up.

so exeter co-op is a grocery store?
