Zedrush Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 In the design world its not unheard of that people pay insane money for a company logo, as in the marketing world branding is power. Sometimes though mistakes are made, i.e look at the fortunes we spent on the olympic logo, millions and it looks sh7te Well just got emailed this, some dipstick paid 20k for this logo: Not worth no where near that in my opinion, whats worse... look at the logo and tilt your head to the left side,... This is no joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySpak Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think its worth every penny! I'd love a logo that had a hidden picture Very clever in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisphillips Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 What a good post. Can't believe that they spent 20k on that. I am a designer and I design logos branding for a living but this is the best one I have seen for a long time .. Why can't I get a contract like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
