This sounds like a lame contest to help more illustrators pretend they're designers. (What? Did you think you wouldn't get outed?)
2x4 hit it right on the mark. If you're going to put something else in Times Square let it be blank space that doesn't yell at you.

besides 2 x 4, I like what Seymour Chwast, Weston Bingham, & Rodrigo Corral are doing.

You decided it's lame and now they're outed? I don't understand what you are annoyed with.
Visual clutter? Illustrators pretending to be designers? (What does that even mean?)

The message and visual is so on point.

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think 2x4 went of the deep end?
I mean come on i've done my share of high concept through nothingness, but I don't find it particular thought-provoking seeing that same solemn message could be used or has been used for ever other social cause.
Otherwise alot of other aesthetically pleasing elements, but they are left at just that. Pleasing to the eye.
