They probably won't comment at all, and blow sunshine up everyone's arses by declaring victory for having 'started a conversation', rather than simply saying, 'We're sorry, we fucked up.'

Here we go again...
It’s not just small companies looking to save money by seeking free/cheap design, sadly spec work occurs at all levels. The Huffington Post was bought by AOL for a reported $315,000,000 back in February 2011. Plenty of cash on the table to hire a designer to create a logo, right?
A logo is integral to a company’s branding and demands extensive thought and research. So why is The Huffington Post asking their users to create their logo.
"“Do you know your way around Photoshop or other design programs? Have a cool idea for a logo that screams ‘awesome politics coverage’?”"
