New Logo in Use

What you said about Phil’s career was at the very least condescending. I don’t know how a man wouldnt be offended when they’ve worked hard to provide for their family and have their skills or work history be slighted in the way you did. Your point about him not having any formal training in font designing is probably true. The school of hard knocks and the results of his work and craftsmanship here on the forum speak for themselves.

If someone spends five minutes in Microsoft word playing with fonts they’re going to get a product that was built in five minutes . If they go to a graphic designer I would hope the product that is output shows more consideration and level of skill and time than what they put into it in word . But it is still more than zero effort.

Anyone can cook. Even if it’s just boiling water to soften noodles. You don’t have to make a lasagna to be a chef.

Yes Phil I did just call your logo at a wet noodle… :wink:

No it was not. Not even close. It was a respectful & argumented opinion about a logo… Sigh… Where exactly did you derive all that bs from?
If he can’t handle a comment this polite, he shouldn’t be on a public forum.
But be my guest submit those logos to graphics forums and see what happens.

So please do not put words in my mouth and maybe tone down on the curry favoring. Let him fight his own fights. The mere fact this is once again blown way out of proportion just because he can’t handle a bit of accurate critique is just too sad tbh.

again, where are my insults disrespecting your career and family?

Because all the insults I see come from your side.

Guys, it’s enough. Think it over.

I derived it from these two comments you made in previous posts to this thread.

I get your point, but as a graphic designer I have to point out that playing with type for 5 minutes in Word doesn’t really qualify as logo designing.

But please respect those that spent a couple of years learning the craft and don’t call yourself a logo designer just because you spent some time in vector editing software. I don’t call myself a mechanical engineer just because I have a few lego technics sets.

The tone and content of these statements appeared condescending to me. I’d wager Phil felt the same.

  1. These statements appear to assert a position of authority as a graphic designer.
  2. Building on the position of authority, they directly put Phils point of view in a place of inferior worth.

Let him fight his own fights

Phil is a respected member of the forum. I saw disrespect. I said something. Publicly.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

and maybe tone down on the curry favoring

an italian cooking recipe aludes to oregano or basil, not curry. can you imagine the horrors of a lasagna with curry?! or maybe not. I’m not a chef. Maybe someone with skill could pull that off!! I don’t see how my reply was spicy or aggressive (assuming that’s what’s was meant by curry flavoring). I fully admit to being strongly defensive of Phil. I’d be happy to hear how you think it was ‘curry-ful’.

If you would like to continue this conversation with me, please open a private message. Lets respect @JDMs post and end this publicly.

This is what happens when children that were the weakest in the classroom got bullied in school then went home to a house without structure. They grow up to hide behind a keyboard and prey on the strong to try and make their lives hell the same hell that little child felt. I don’t hate the guy I feel sorry for him as we all should.

I have watched this go on and on while nothing has been done to resolve this issue but instead slap a band-aid on the situation and pretend it will go away. It is not going to go away by wishes alone. I am tired of watching good people placed in the corner while some ■■■■■■■ has his way. Constructive criticism should be welcome but to be a out right prick fuq that.

So with my rant out of the way I will say this. Sorry if I have offended anyone with my foul mouth I am at a point I don’t much care. Good bye to all the good people here as I am no longer apart of what goes on here.

Perma ban here I come cause I am positive this post will be flagged faster than I bust a nut on date night.

You realize your forum name has the word ‘cox’ in it, right? It sticks out.

I see a lot of assumptions, ignorance, double standards, and personal attacks, and they’re not coming from me…
Even though I have lots more to say, out of respect for this company I won’t bother. Although i do recommend googling curry favor.

I’m pretty confident I didn’t cross any line here, and I trust the mods will get in touch with me if I did. I did start a conversation with Zach about this a while back, but in the end he never followed up. Not that I blame him, he probably has actual important stuff to attend to. But I must say it is sad to see this forum come to this. And thanks to those last comments for proving my case.

I made some assumptions about phil. I thought he was gonna have a morgan freeman god like voice when he explained stuff to us.

And so, @JeremySimmons sums things up nicely.

My old boss looked like Morgan freeman and had a delightful deep voice. I called them Machen quotes.

I think the new logo would have made more sense if they first posted it on April 1st.

The old logo was fine. Sometimes new is not better…
