Not sure if this has been posted here yet, but Lynda.com has recently put up a video profile of Doyald Young (about 38 minutes long). It's pretty good, and includes a segment shot at TypeCon in L.A. this year when Doyald received the SOTA award. I saw quite a few familiar faces in the background. Unfortunately, you need a Lynda.com account to view it (except for the intro segment). Here's a link:

If you google "lynda.com free trial" you can sometimes find an offer for a few days free introductory membership. Or if that doesn't work, google "lynda.com discount code".

It's an excellent site. I started with a free trial and ended up subscribing.

“Unfortunately, you need a Lynda.com account to view it.”

No you don’t.

Doyald Young, logotype designer (42:14)

Oh dear...

How painfully irony.

When I posted this you did need to have an account to watch it. After Doyald Young died, they lifted that restriction.

So an inheritance of sorts, from a wonderful man and designer.

Kudos to the Society of Typographic Aficionados for honoring the master.
