An issue advertising agencies know is the medium-sized business customer of the advertising agencies who already has got an idea. "My wife likes red pullovers and penguins. The logo for my power drill company should contain a penguin wearing a red pullover." The advertising agencies try to explain that the logo should represent the power drills and perhaps something else, maybe environmental sustainability or what ever is up to date, but there's no chance, if the wife of the customer likes red pullovers and penguins. At least the https://opensourcedesign.net job offers come with this issue, too, see https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/06/28/competition-libreoffice-mascot/, the mailing list already knows what they like and every Tom, Dick and Harry has some bikeshedding to contribute. Regarding software development the users' needs are important, regarding logo design the designers are the experts and nobody else. Big companies usually know this. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
