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

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.

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:

You mean what did his intern do?

if that's typical fairey then i suppose he's done his job.
could it be you're taking this too seriously? it's a light-hearted solution i find pleasant.

Nobody is complaining about a lack of bevelling, too few colours, or any of your other strawmen.
It's shit because it rapes the lettering to fit the "50" on top, it uses five typefaces/weights in close proximity, it substitutes the 5 for an S and zero for O the way we all did in first year at design school, and in typical Fairey fashion he's made it about himself/his brand (the colours) instead of the client.
If you needed all of that spelled out maybe you need a vacation.

i've never seen so much hate for an anniversary logo ...
compared to others, this one IS slick. it's 2 colors — no bevels, drop shadows, &C
maybe you guys need a collective vacation so you can complain about local typesetting issues too

They should have put wrinkles on the lips since they're in their 80s now.

Surprised how anyone can see this as slick. The type is just plain bad.
Also, that mark is so well known, I don't see the need to whack 'The Rolling Stones' on it. Could have just been the tongue and a nicely balanced 50, job done, Bob's your Aunty.
