@PopBase It’s awful seeing many people are rather protecting someone’s bad behavior of throwing water at a performer whose aim is to make the audience feel happy. In my culture, throwing water is a curse gesture. That is the most demeaning thing to do to someone. Why attend at all?

@Vonster @Vonster, I come back to say your prayers and blessings as my master worked!

Most best criticism I’ve received on my works are personal, in-person, and instructive; if not constructive.

@theChrisDo said it once. Almost like he predicted this will happen on twitter, but I had no idea it will be @X .

[Chris Do @theChrisDo]

Designers love to complain when a rebrand doesn’t align with their sensibilities. Realize this. If companies never rebranded, who would pay your rent? Rebrand → good or bad is purely subjective. Someone got paid. Think on that the next time you express that it wasn’t necessary.

[logomyth @logomyth]

That’s the hard part; as we can all see what’s millions of people are ranting about Twitter’s X logo.

"The design of a logo is NEVER really the hardest part of the job. It's the persuading of a MILLION people to use it."

— Paula Scher (Designer and Partner at @pentagram)

@theChrisDo The problem with the X is that it ignores people. People who have invested some emotional connection to the blue bird. And people ignore brands that ignore people.

[logomyth @logomyth]

@theChrisDo How about the popular opinion? “A logo should not necessarily say what it does.”
The logo X is not the problem. Of course its execution may not be “on type”, as it’s diagonal stroke is not optically corrected yet. The problem is … 👇🏾

[logomyth @logomyth]

@clairestrickett Most often than not, a redesigned of a logo is an issue of application across all the brand’s touchpoints; and most importantly with interactive media platforms and usage requiring certain pixel specifications. Which I doubt can be achieved with the old in this very case.

Why should the idea of a multicultural design history be a debate?— in a 21st century w/ metaverse expectations; or a world that continues yearning for better experiences each day.

Design has a heterogeneous cultural past, but only a homogeneous cultural history.

@theJeremyMura Whichever way you decide on, you would be successful if you WORK HARD.

It’s in the work, not the “self” or the “degree”.

Constraints can even help us to discover new ways of making love.

But this book is not about love; it’s about creativity. Constraints ignite creativity. - @beingCQbook

@kizkopop It comes down to context and audience, 1Mth of the times.

[logomyth @logomyth]

Oh noooo! I always revered the now old @VanderbiltU logo, having revisited its earlier brief and creation with reference point that makes so much sense and cast a rich meaning anyone can relate to.

I’m curious what might have informed this change to a “HISTORY” logo style?

Asking for feedback on a design can be so tough, but I can't think of a time when I've ever regretted it.

@logogeek @fiverr Solving logo theft situation on @fiverr or any platform is not about suing the 1+ billion non-designers acting 🎭 out the design profession, and denigrating the works of designers. The way is to sue platforms who are encouraging design theft.

[logomyth @logomyth]

@logogeek @fiverr The design profession has been like “a child’s play.” All you need to do is appear as a child and you can play some. No law and order. The design profession is the most “inhumane” profession in terms of how it protects its members (designers) from non-designers.
