But let’s give the devil his due. Throw $50 bucks at it Bruce. Go out to crowdspring.com and get a logo for permission to suck. Then post all the best ones to the blog. We’ll come back and make a final analysis.

I love they use this noble sounding word – “democratize.” What the guy really means is “flood the market with so much crap that clients stop seeing the value of good design”.

Most of the time (not always), you get what you pay for. Most of the time a $50 logo is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Its totally true that this is not going away, its also true that it brings the whole creative community down a level.

The reality of having too many options to choose from is that after looking at 40+ examples of crap, a good design can easily be over looked as it blends in the static of the multitude of options and the viewer becomes over sensitized and tired if viewing impartially.

Add to that the total disconnect from the client and any sort of creative or marketing plan and I think you have something that simply shooting in the dark, creative-wise.
