Electronic Music 411 - Beautiful Logo -

hmmmm...I wonder how many of you appreciate the real implications of working in the design industry. I am not commenting either way about that logo specifically, just on the whole 'Ł14K for a logo, WTF?' attitude. I'd like to hear your reasons for feeling that way...

I actually believe that it's very difficult to attach a value to a successful logo, that good brand establishment is potentially worth a hell of a lot more that a few thou

14k GBP is a bit stiff (ha, sorry) for logos as poorly considered as this one however!

where's my $14K?

;) yeah, i think the main GASP comes not so much from the price tag itself, but for the fact that that amount didn't buy them even one round of "can a 14 year old boy see something perverted in this?" test.

Like spending months coming up with your child's name and deciding upon Ophelia Self.

Aye, furry muff!

I did have to wonder whether the designers knew what they were up to - having seen both the OGC one and the 2012 one. maybe that's giving them too much benefit of the doubt...but they sure have generated a stir ;)
