Please re-read my post. This post is not about my own personal opinion on the case of the free logo design. I do state that I don’t wish for it to become a discussion, except that there is a natural progression of discussion from this topic.

I am entitled to my ideas and thoughts to which I have expressed, as have you.

If this post was just me ranting and raving about this chap then fair enough. But it’s not, i use it to highllight a further topic, a more important and interesting one.

The topic that has seen many people write some insightful and meaningful replies.

Please get over the first paragraph and focus on the post and thoughts in question.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, including you, the moment you write, post, rant or praise about anything on any blog you are by the very nature opening yourself up for people to comment back either negatively or positively. If this chap is so sensitive or has so many people looking out for him he should, in my opinion, re think what he posts about, and keep to subject that he knows about or can ‘put up and shut up’.

But for your information. Yes, it bothers me because his post belittles and cheapens a valuable commodity. I have managed to woo clients from the darkside to ‘get’ clients that initially felt they would NEVER pay for a logo, to actually reconsider.

His argument that they would never probably pay for a logo is utterly naive and frankly, insulting to many people, clients who just need to have certain things explained, rather than just painted with the same brush.

And given a chance to realise that it needn’t cost the earth for a great logo and that it’s often false economy to expect otherwise. I would even say OScar, that your own thoughts on this are ‘naive’.

Dont assume that non paying clients who take on a free logo and cheap and freeloading. They merely have not had the truth about logo design explained to them.

This is where Franklin IS damaging genuine and trustworthy designers.

Huge slap on the back for including my website. I would also like to suggest that a good place to start is http://WeAreJustCreative.com, which is dedicated to all things creative and more importantly, its focus is on the community.
I try not to write posts myself, if i do, then they are ones that directly benefit others rather than myself.

2009 means I am looking for fresh blood, so if you want to guest post on WeAreJustCreative, just visit the site and send me a note through the contact form.

Thanks again for the inclusion,
Graham

Thanks for leaving a comment and general thumbs up, appreciate it.

Not sure what you are referring to, a media kit? Just trying to rack my brains.

Don’t let the experience fool you.. :)

NIKKI> Thanks for your recent comments. Funnily enough, the whole beanie thing was just more of a accident. As it was a replacement Twitter profile pic. Then someone said it looked neat, so then I changed everything else around it.

Then the next step was duplicating that for the video’s. And yeah, seems to have taken off. Also the Mr G as well seems to be sticking.

I mean i love it, i love black anyway, so the whole dark, mean and moody look is cool. ;0) lol

Neat idea, do you get to dress up as its a important co-hosting event?

Would have to disagree with Number 9 quiet strongly…

Couldn’t agree more. Im still very active in tracking down new people to follow, I simply don’t totally rely on getting the followers. Generally I like to be in control of who I spend my time talking with, so the best way to do that is to go out and find them people yourself.

That’s the only real way to ensure a good mixture. Best not to rely on one way or another.

Yeah, its great really. With a few more organisational features would be a great way to store various back-ups of images.

tyler: I really tried with Olive, but it didn’t make sense to me. Always thinking I was missing something obvious to really make it work. Seemed ok from the client end, but just didn’t cut it for me.
