    Contrary to most opinions I heard today, I think this is fantastic for the design industry.

    It's a marvellous high profile example showing why hire us professionals and not your high school student nephew who "knows photoshop".

    Along with the 29 other crap logos, it shows that good design is not something that anyone can knock out on a slow sunny weekend. This is a great lesson for all the CEOs with dangerous design talents: don't even think about doing it yourself, you're going to become laughing stock like her.
