People who buy $5 logos would never seek out and hire a true design professional.

The more people encounter these cheap alterntives, the faster they will catch on about “you get what you pay for…” Well thought out branding is important and sometime people love to learn the hardway. The more they use these horrible sites, the faster we’ll get awareness in various industries.

AT LEAST, that’s looking at the glass half-full. 😉

It’s too bad really because a cheap design might look pretty good. But it is not branding. Branding is a much richer art than just something that looks good.

We’ve all seen the “hidden messages” in logos. That’s what branding and messaging is about. And no cheap design will ever come close to that. 🙂
