that's Downvote Darrell!

That little red arrow really bugs you. I guess DamStraight doing the same thing makes him in line for the same nickname “downvote”. I will stop if it will make you put the tide pod down and back away from the ledge. It will be okay. You can do a happy dance when you get the green arrow or really get yourself off if someone hearts your post.

I'm willing to bet you're not nearly as emotionally invested in your clients' businesses. Changes things a little bit.

Not saying you're not entitled to an opinion, but the FH logo did garner some high praise from unbiased sources. I'm too lazy to look, but it ranked pretty highly on a well-regarded, published list of new designs.

I would be curious to see which unbiased sources ranked it high.  I recall reading on here a few months ago it won an award given out, but it was an award within SME.   Which is sorta like my mom saying my 5th grade art class drawings were really really good.

Yep. I am the only person who thinks are logo is garbage. You win.

You still don't get it. You followed the words "my opinion" with "objective standard." Does that not seem the least bit contradictory? News flash -- your opinion is the very definition of subjectivity. That's what it means.

Definitely not internal. It was some design trade mag or something. It's on here for someone who wants to go digging.

Do you work in the area of graphic design of logos and the such? Didn't think so. Petey, on this topic, is far more knowledgeable than me and you. His opinion in this field, which is his expertise, is an objective standard based on his business in the region he works, designs and sells. If his objective standard was trash, like the logo, his business wouldn't be in business anymore.

I've read every nickname discussion on here and don't recall anything other than the SME self congratulatory award.  

Maybe Darell can investigate.

Now you're just sounding silly. In no version of reality is the reaction to art even remotely capable of being 'objective.' Art is subjective.

Alright logo snobs, where is the example that would have been a runaway hit for all alumni and fans?

You must say “that hit cannot be the Fighting Sioux logo”.

Business decisions are objective. Petey's business happens to be based in art. His "objective" opinion must mess pretty well with his customer's "subjective" opinions........but as usual you know best!

Neither.........he's extremely successful at what he does. I'll defer to him on this topic........not to you and your continued nauseatingly drivel. Just because you stay within the lines with your crayons doesn't make you remotely quaified in this area.

I never said I was qualified in being an artist, but what’s the old saying one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. Just because you hold his dick when he pees and agree with him on the logo being garbage doesn’t necessarily make it so.

Amazing SME has managed to keep the doors open let alone continue to pick up national contracts with some pretty impressive brands.

Correct. 2 different sentences. My opinion happens to agree with the objective opinions of the vast majority regarding our unfortunate logo.

To be honest Edgewood, I took your drawing and passed it off as mine. Sorry it didn’t win.
