designers arent supposed to hate other designers, were supposed to hate these non designer guys who say their designer guys but arent but have the Ferrari moneys somehow:

It is not about hating. It is about how a famous designer, in the same business we are all in, turned in something that would be rejected by 99% of the shops we all work in, for all the reasons mentioned above.
That is worth discussion.

We should have a contest to do a better design and send the winners to the Stones. Maybe they would use it.
naaah. I need to spend more time with Diablo3

His aesthetic is there - but the typography is infuriating.

I'm not a fan of the logo but I'm with Moldero especially after seeing he did about 30 versions and that's what they chose. I have projects all the time where I present things that I think are great but the client choses the shittiest of all of my options or pushes me to make good options shittier. Hating on it is pointless. It's our industry. Plus, fame and good aren't always synonymous. Look at the entertainment industry.

Still, as someone pointed out above - this version would not have even been presented at most places. I wouldn't ever show it.

If, on a design web site, designers cannot comment neagtively about a famous designer's work - then where?
You sound like that person that always wants to say something good to everyone, no matter how bad it is. You will never be an AD with that attitude, young designer.
- Yeah OK man...whatever. Whatever.youngdesigner
- it's called the licking ass...oey

Could have been better, however Fairey is such a GIANT target it's hard to separate legitimate criticism from the hate. Just make sure to hold onto your originals, hand paint your logos, and only work with bands destined to become rock gods.
