It doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, but it's good to know that a group of designers who are Affinity users have been involved in the background.

It's not new information, though: there was an Instagram teaser by made.by.James on 08 October that made this pretty clear.

Hoping they are really designers, and not just influencers.

Said otherwise: if you want your tools to become universal, you involve a mass of contributors into the discussion. Asking to a few of them will just give the opinionated view of the selected ones, that may have been selected after the opinionated view of the product manager.

My dad talks about it a lot - he was a big fan! That and The Goons.

Ok, we have two logo designers. An important professional sector for the seething world of small shops, startups and associations.

Isn't the Affinity Suite a bit more than that? Isn't there also publishing, photo editing, creative illustration, and everything concerning visual design?

I really can't be happy in seeing a whole community replaced by a few people whose main interests seems to be their presence on YouTube.
