too many commas and theres no need for the word "Later"

thats just how i see it, i would personally write it as "Based on these drafts, Sir Peter Scott drew the first logo."

ya i always think that the language taught to us is not real english, but a sino-anglo mix...this comma use and that "later" is rather common in chinese

I think it might be that your usage of these words may be acceptable in your country.

Just like how in India, we have terms like 'cousin-sister', 'do the needful', 'prepone', 'till date', etc. which are accepted in Indian English but not in standard English.

There shouldn't be a comma after scott and later. Also later isn't necessary.

The sentence could make sense if there was another previous sentence/s that'd give context.

Something else to note: the sentence by itself does feel unnatural as there is a dependent clause that comes before the independent clause.

Later, Sir Peter Scott drew the first logo based on these drafts.

I am not a native speaker, but I am majoring in English.

there does exist a previous text. this sentence is taken from a whole article. i forgot to mention that fact.

you made a good point. it's just the way different locals express, all languages have dialects after all.

that is being said, conditions in my country are a little different though. people in china seldom use English, as u can see many's osu! profiles are in chinese. that's why i think English taught at schools as a subject should be more standard, if the country hasn't formed a complete dialect yet.

I don't think it's necessary to enact/force schools to have English so compulsorily. I'm supposing most people in your country are already fluent and accustomed to Chinese as a standard language for communication. Enforcing an additional language in schools won't help distribute it much, if it remains unused in daily life.
In my opinion, I don't think your country needs to standardise English, it's already doing pretty well with its own means of communication.

In most schools specifically where I'm from, 100% of our school books are in English, except for language subjects particularly made for that language. It is our mother tongue that gets treated as a secondary language.
People already use English as a standard means of communication, in hoardings, notices and media.
Because of our mother tongue being existent as an additional subject only, some native people instead avoid it by taking English(which is a subject mainly taken by non-natives).

I think the comma placed after Sir Peter Scott is unnecessary. The rest of the article is no unusual. But that's just my instinct.
