To share or not to share?

The subtleties of the modifications might be significant under the microscope of ….. but for the ‘daily user’ eve the young designers, the necessity to educate us on these peccadillos, eludes me. I understand that most of this information has been passed through the digital design newsletters but as earlier referenced, how does knowing and seeing the slight kerning and/or serif adjustment educate the designer’s eye, for improvement?

Upon seeing these 2 redone logos, how could I utilize this information? How could I absorb it, learn from it, and then use it on my future design projects and challenges? Is this not the primary purpose of design education? I do understand the assessment of the individual or team who did this, just not the need to share. Possibly it comes out of social media’s prevalent constant sharing of everything, now invading the professional use of the digital media. In my opinion not every selfie is necessary to share, not very adjustment to a brand is either. Do the work, do it well, just realize it might not be a ‘teaching moment’!
