maryrambin: I’m designing a logo for MoreThanMary right now, and I though who better to ask than you.  You know me best, and by now I hope you understand what I’m trying to acheive with this this blog. I want something respectable but not too serious. All thoughts are welcome and greatly appreciated. Any ideas? Designs you would like to submit?? Utterly clueless. This post irritated the fuck out of me and SHOULD irritate the fuck out of any self-respecting blogger who is an artist, writer, editor, designer.  At first glance, I really did think that SHE was designing her logo, because after all, she does design handbags. Duh! But then I realized she was soliciting work from designers. No mention of payment. Or credit or ownership of IP. (That’s Intellectual Property and you should know something about that since you frequently accuse Donna Karan of stealing your work.) Not only does she have no concept of her own ‘brand’ identity - whatever that means to Morethanmary. She has access to real brand managers who could help her develop her own brand hierarchy. But worst of all, the post is so lacking in professionalism and pride in her own site that she didn’t even think to fully document what she is looking for but seems to imply that whatever it is has to be respectable and most likely free. Any talented artist - whatever their medium - should value their work. And value means - you needs to get paid! Wird.
