Join a very weather beaten Sean in the 26th episode of the twohundredby200 Creative Podcast as Scotland is battered by yet another winter storm.

Sean kicks the show off talking about the recent uproar in the YouTube community caused by the attempts by popular content creators, Fine Bros, to trademark and license the reaction genre of video. The actions take by the duo may have far reaching consequences for creatives across the world matter the field they work in. Sean highlights the various issues behind the uproar and why the copyright and trademark laws and agreements need revisited.

We have a new competition running on the twohundredby200 website. New bookshop, Creative Reads, have donated a copy of “Logo Design”. The book, which is edited by Julius Wiedeman and published by Taschen, is a great addition to any studio bookshelf. In addition to the book, 200 Digital have included one of our limited edition and very popular tea themed screen prints. The closing date for entries is the 29th February and you can enter by visiting the win page on our website.

This weeks listeners questions cover what is seen on Sean’s desk in some of our time-lapse videos and if design awards are worth the entry fee that many seem to charge. Sean explains why our studio stopped entering these type of competitions many years ago and what creatives should consider before entering such events.
