A Conversation with Graphic Designer Allan Peters
With a Graphic Design career spanning over 20 years that has included small agencies, large agencies, in-house at Target to then becoming one of the most recognizable brand and badge designers of our time, Allan Peters is one of the most influential (and humble) Graphic Designers in the world today. Period.
Be it for his appreciation of historic designers like Paul Rand, to his passion that has carried him through the most insane times, Allan Peters is a true gentleman who has firmly cemented him as a giant in the graphic design space.
Now releasing his first tell-all book on his process later in 2023; Logos That Last, we were SO excited to chat with Allan about his life, his insane career and what the future holds.
Join the Angry Designers as we talk career, design, life, influence & Draplin with Graphic and Brand Designer Allan Peters.

Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast out there
When I started listening to this podcast, I was totally overwhelmed by the graphic design industry having just graduated with a degree in art but wanting to embrace a more structured career as a graphic designer. Let’s just say now that I’ve been listening every week, I now own ‘Logo Modernism’, several books about Paul Rand, ‘Logos and Trademarks’ by Yasaburo Kuwayama (a more vintage version of Logo Modernism, thanks to Aaron Draplin during my google/YouTube rabbit hole). I am now finalizing my portfolio and am almost ready to start applying for work as a legitimate graphic designer. Mossimo and Sean have been like mentors I’ve had the pleasure of learning from for the last few months. As soon as an episode drops, I’m there, and every episode is a such a learning experience!! Thank you guys!!! My favorite podcast!!!!
Older and Angrier
I’ve never been so happy to be angry. As a designer approaching 30 years in the industry, this podcast captures everything relevant to design, the challenges, the clients, the process, and the bourbon. Thank God for the bourbon and thank you both for sharing your design prowess each week.
Stay Angry My Friends!
Legit, this podcast checks every box for real graphic designers! I am constantly nodding my head and smiling or laughing throughout every single episode! The truth, the laughs, the frustrations, every topic is relatable and/or helpful. They add plenty of encouragement for newer designers. And there is something for everyone, from freelance to employed, from soloprenuer to agency owner. Truthfully, even listening to past episodes while waiting for a new weekly drop, I can’t get enough! I’ve been in the design game for quite a few years (roughly as long as Massimo) and I can confirm everything they talk about. But I still get the feeling these guys have my back with those nuggets of encouragement and tips for success. There are so many times I want to be a guest commentator, like a production assistant in the sound booth, so I can double down on the raised fist of frustration, but in a jovial way! Their company’s motto is “We Speak Human.” But even in their podcast, that feeling is not lost. These guys are authentic and it shows.
