Wow. You come here with a – let’s be charitable and call it mistaken, rather than greedy – expectation that, the otherwise busy professionals who frequent this place, for reasons of ‘putting back’ and helping the next generation of designers, would work for your profit-making (I assume) company for free. Even if we gloss over that fact, you then respond with an offensive level of arrogance and entitlement and no hint of contrition once you have been made aware of your error. You asked why no one responded. It seems my instincts were entirely ‘on the money’ in the first place.
Futhermore, for someone who runs, what I choose to assume is, a serious business, you seem to have absolutely no understanding of what your brand is all about and how it should sit within a marketing and communication strategy. That you ask for a ‘logo’ and talk of us making websites to ‘sell … logos’, completely exposes your ignorance. I, for one, shall not be giving you free information about what you should be asking for, given your rude and abrasive response.
Here’s hoping you get the work you deserve for your budget and good luck sailing with the big boys out on the open seas.
