This very much sounds like a great concept and am looking forward to the January launch.

I am also concerned that the efforts of iStockphoto and Brandstack’s pre-designed logos are eroding the very discipline we are specialists in.

Being able to tell the complete story of a logo and identity project will certainly set apart any hobbyist works and show what a complete, well-crafted and thorough design can do for a company or service. This, I am sure will help increase our market value.

How and Print magazine released a statement today that is definitely worth reading.

“Last week HOW and Print magazines sent a promotional email from one of our clients which promoted stock logos.

This message has produced a firestorm of anger and disappointment over how two well respected brands could endorse something that violates and threatens the basic principles of graphic design. Our editorial teams – who were unaware of the promotional message – were equally outraged, as it reflected poorly on their brands. And all of the outrage is justified.”

Thanks for all the comments.

Tad: Great that you will be contributing. I am looking forward to getting the first few up in early January.

Rebecca: How has posted a note on Twitter today saying “. . . email went out w/o our OK; we’re not happy & DO NOT endorse. Apologies.” and “Designers, please know HOW does not endorse cheap design services of any kind. We support the smart, considered work U do.”

I am on board with this. Can’t wait to hear more.

I think logo exploration is essential to a company. So much more than putting together type and a symbol. It helps a company clarify who they are, what they want to do, and how they want to be seen.

Also, I can’t believe I heard about this through a HOW Magazine sponsored email. I thought they were supposed to support designers?
