    I was saying that it's not necessarily the skill of the designers, but also related to exactly what Adobe asked for. I wasn't saying that people complaining about the logo can't do it themselves or that it's too hard. You seem to have missed that I emphasized the client-side of it. I hear people say they can do better, but they really have no idea how the industry works to say that, because you can't do what you want to do, but what the client wants you to do. The logo could have been cooler looking, but that's Adobe's problem, not the designer's. Of course, the designer might have been able to push for a different design, who knows. I don't know how they designed the logo, either way.

    Anyway, that was my point. I also understand your point and believe it to be true, but I get the feeling your post was somewhat directed towards me. If it wasn't, then you can ignore me entirely :P

    I want a shrug smilie like dA has :(

    It's not a bad logo, it just doesn't go along with previous logos, =/ And it needs an 'S' in there somewhere, >.<

    Companies rarely have a clue what they want, if they did they wouldn't hire a designer they would hire a graphic artist.

    Designers take ideas and show them to the company, most of the time the most you get is a, 'i like that one most' not anything like, 'now this is what i was thinking most like, but i want it changed this way'. If adobe actually knew what they wanted (and they likely did) they would simply bring in an artist to design it really quick, not a designer, two different perspectives of the design field.

    For example - I have sat down with shaggy and the other staff for literally hours to have them lay out *something* they could possibly want for v4's skin and the most I get is, 'just design it however you want and well use that'. Its ultimately worse on my end to work that way, it takes more time, thus costs more (if it was a paid for job) and I could be shooting in the dark and blow 20 hours on a design they end up not liking. Most companies, especially places like Adobe, contact someone who is a specialist (or in Adobe's case, their own artist department) in the type of design they want (ie customized portfolio applications to suit what the business has put out as a desired logo) and the company picks the best overall designer and then tells them what they want and they go design it. Most jobs don't have that comfort.

    But they still can choose the ugly stuff :P

    I'm probably biased in this sense, since the only "client" experience I've had is with my teachers, who absolutely know what they want...

    I like the new logo. It has a nice lightning. However it is totally different than all others.
