eg.
Different logo designs with no-spec subtly worked into it to subtly promote the no-spec campaign (bonus irony points for each logo actually used by a client)

Just the same generic logo entered multiple times into every competition with superficial changes such as colours etc. to highlight the fact that most of the logos are recycled and the designers often provide little or no artistic input as part of their service, relying on the client to act as artistic director

Or perhaps even just something ridiculously obvious like submitting famous logos such as McDs, IBM, UPS etc. to highlight the rampant logo-stealing that many of the ‘designers’ engage in.

Personally though, I think it’s possibly better to simply not engage with the design competition sites at all. I’m not sure any good can really come from interacting directly with them.

Welcome as always.

Cat!

Nice of you to drop by. Probably some over-zealous designer thinking they’re helping the cause. Must admit, if I were a little younger, and as idealistic as I used to be back then, I might be tempted to get a little more involved than writing the occasional blog post. While I’m probably a little biased, not even sure if it’s ‘spamming’ or a legitimate form of protest, not unlike placards and signs used in more traditional venues.

Thanks for linking to the Protocols page – should clear a few things up for anyone who’s reading.

And if both sides would just read the no-spec.com site, they’ll see that it’s so.

It’s linked right on the home page actually –>> What you can do: Read NO!SPEC’s Protocols

And while our supporters believe they are doing a good thing by spamming, I have to put up with all the cacca emails of protest.
