"UTILIZES TECHNOLOGY AND ABUNDANCE TO MAKE GREAT WORK FOR BRANDS."

the above V&S video again proves that you get cheap or you paid and get quality. The video kinda sucked (probably crow sourced?) and the VO was horribly spoken as if by some high schooler between gym and home economics.

Crowd-sourcing is a sideshow. It's no more competition or a threat to professional designers than "my neighbour's kid who knows photoshop".
People will mess around with crowdsourcing because it's getting talked about right now, but it doesn't stand a chance of replacing our profession.

I love how the 1-page web design is $300, but the logo is $50... way easier to make a single webpage than a brand.

Buy the site, stationary and business cards first, when you have the money we will design your logo for 50 bucks

I had a lead come to me today that had been disappointed by the quality of some Indian design firm she had initially hired. She sent along a proof they had done for her and --no joke-- it was a screenshot of my own work with the logo switched out.
To complete the irony, I get the impression that she thinks she's getting a deal because the design is "almost done".
