Even though my message probably doesn't stand out in the context of this discussion, that came across as quite a bit more offensive than I intended, and I apologize for that.
However, I indeed think that if you care about design and branding, the best way is to get involved with improving the situation by making your own concrete suggestions and proposals – D desperately needs somebody skilled who "owns" design –, and not to try and educate the world assuming that all the others are clueless. ;)
And besides, design by committee works even less in graphics than it does in software, which is also why I decided not to comment on any of the early-stage proposals so far. I firmly believe that by continuing to discuss for the sake of it and throwing around blanket statements – something this community seems to be particularly adept at, unfortunately –, we'll only dissuade the people we really want to have working on these issues from stepping forward. I mean, we both know how annoying clients who don't give you the freedom you need to work while changing their "vision" all the time are.
Cheers, David
