LogoBlog.org is Garbage

Yeah, I said it, but you don’t have to take my word for it, check the site out and make your own decision if you want, but I think you will agree with what I have to say.

I am writing this today because I am sick and tired of having comments removed from sites simply because you either post a link to your own site in the comment or the author of the site is ridiculous and deletes it because they don’t agree with your opinion.

A few days ago logoblog came out with a post detailing the wonders of the new xerox logo and as you may or may not know I think the new logo is garbage. (My Reasoning Here)  Anywho I went to the site read the article as I do with most of the articles on logoblog because it is something I am interested in, and then I decided to leave my opinion in the form of a comment.  You know that little area underneath the posts where authors ask for your opinions.  Well apparently mine wasn’t in agreeance with what the thought police over at logoblog had in mind so they removed it.

This was my comment on the post.  Not verbatim of course because I can’t remember it completely but you will get the point.

Adam (Me) says…

I think the new Xerox logo is garbage, it is bubbly and web 2.0.  I never thought Xerox needed something flashy for you to know who they were.  I wrote a post about this on my blog a while back when the logo first debuted if you want to see the other reasons why I didn’t like it please check out (inserted link to site).

So if you are the author of logoblog and are for some reason find yourself reading this post and still have a copy of my comment please send it to me so I can show my readers the exact qoute you thought couldn’t be on your site. It wasn’t spammy and didn’t have any inappropriate language in it.

I was a moderate fan of logoblog but now have decided that it isn’t worth mine or your time so here are some more reasons it sucks. 

• Horrible Theme - a slightly modified version of the default wordpress theme.  Way to go there guys.  I am supposed to take your word on the creativity and the importance of a design and you can’t even create and design one for yourself.

• Free Logo Maker - If you are going to offer a free service such as logo design try to take some time and have it do something besides add a dropshadow to a font.  Or at least don’t say you are an authority on logo design and then try to pass this shit off as a logo.

• A Free Ebook - Wow this sounds great… I would love a good ebook about logo design. Wait they are not giving away a free ebook they are asking you to give them free information so they can compile it and then give it back to you all while making advertising money. 

• Simply put they are liars -  Their about us page describes how they provide up to the minute logo news and unbiased opinions.  Unless you can back that up don’t print it.  You update the site once a week, which is almost never up to the minute information, and you remove comments you don’t like which hardly ever leaves room for unbiased debate and discussion.

I am sorry for my rant, but I am so tired of bloggers deleting comments if it is not warranted.  If you didn’t like my link remove the link, if you disagree tell me why don’t be a wenis and delete what could lead to a good discussion.  If you like logoblog or don’t let me know why.  If you are logoblog defend yourself.
