I spent 4 hours on a logo mockup that my boss redid in 10 minutes.
I was making a new brand mark for a bakery, and I kept drawing every single icon option by hand in Illustrator. My boss saw me, opened a font file called 'Food Icons', and just typed letters to get perfect symbols. Do you think starting with a solid icon library is cheating, or is it just smart to save time?

But the real question is, what were you trying to achieve with the hand-drawn icons? Was the goal a unique, custom feel for that specific bakery, or just to get a clear, professional symbol fast? Your boss's method gets a clean result quickly, but it might not have any special character.
