Comments on: Snippets: Crowdspring to offer spec writing, NEA holds a spec work contest & other news http://www.thelogofactory.com/logo_blog/index.php/snippets-crowdspring-nea-brandstack/ The Art & Business of Logo Design Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:38:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Steve Douglas http://www.thelogofactory.com/logo_blog/index.php/snippets-crowdspring-nea-brandstack/comment-page-1/#comment-195346 Steve Douglas Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:15:19 +0000 http://www.thelogofactory.com/logo_blog/?p=3444#comment-195346 @Rod Thanks for the link to the <strong>AIGA</strong> protest letter. Worth noting that designers and artists who want to express their opinion can now <a href="http://www.arts.gov/artworks/?p=767" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">comment on the NEA Artworks blog</a>. You'll also find a response from NEA to the letter, giving some lip service to the AIGA position, but ultimately claiming that this project is somehow different and should be given "a pass". Alas, that's what every single spec work request generally claims. They also toss out the 'democratizing design' chestnut, and ask the AIGA to 'back off'. Interesting little kerfluffe. @Rod Thanks for the link to the AIGA protest letter. Worth noting that designers and artists who want to express their opinion can now comment on the NEA Artworks blog.

I guess some people learn slower than others... It's good to see AIGA address the situation. However, I don't think that should stop anyone else from sending a note to the NEA to let them know what the design community thinks. Even Canadians, eh? It looks like the NEA is starting to get some serious blowback now from a heavy hitter.
