Anyone who’s been following The Factor will know what I think about logo design contests and the related sites that are mushrooming all over the interwebs. What about the other side? Well, one such outfit elogocontest.com (who, ironically, I used as an example of why logo design contests don’t work) want to have a ‘debate’ about the pros and cons of logo contests and have set up a site where both sides of the equation can duke it out. Calling the site specdebate (a reference to ‘spec’ or ‘speculative’ I guess) folks who are into such things can register and have their say. A little weird in the setup – you can only post once (but can comment on other’s views), have to pick a side when registering, but other than a ‘no profanity’ rule, George Ryan – the owner of the site – promises no ‘censorship’. While I’m kinda non-plussed, figured I’d give George a little link love to get him going. Not going to partake myself – don’t think there’s much point in any debate as neither side will ever convince the other, but some readers might like the idea of being able to give your two cents. If so, have at it here.
