When a client asks for a rebrand, the instinct is obvious: change it. New logo. New look. New everything.

But what if the smartest design decision is knowing what NOT to change?

In this episode of The Angry Designer, Massimo and Shawn break down Calendly's latest rebrand, revisit the controversial identity it replaced, and question why Graphic Designers feel so much pressure to redesign everything just to prove their value.

Because great design isn't about how much you change. It's knowing what actually needs changing.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  •  Why Graphic Designers are often pushed to overdesign 
  •  How to know when to keep, evolve, or completely overhaul a brand 
  •  Why restraint may be one of the hardest skills for a Graphic Designer to learn 

From Calendly and Pentagram to Burger King and Cracker Barrel, this episode looks past whether a logo simply "looks good" and asks the question Graphic Designers should be asking first:

Does this actually need to change?
