Hi Kate,

I’ve added Anamorphosis to the ‘top 50′ list. A very well deserved addition.

Hi David –
Thanks for the recent top 50 list – great to see everyone getting credited.
Thanks Michael for mentioning me, and Anamorphosis. Very kind of you.

You’re very welcome, Michael.

You have a great design blog, so it was a pleasure adding you (I guess you mean to the top 50 list).

Thanks for the link to Kate’s blog. Looks like another good’un.

Thanks for including me David, I appreciate the traffic. One person that I see/read quite often online is Kate Andrews. One of her many blogs is Anamorphosis: http://anamorphosis-kate.blogspot.com/

Hi Scott,

You’re in Cheshire, aren’t you? Nice Wilson avatar.

Hank (or is it Henry?),

I had a look through some of your past design articles, trying to find your variation. Couldn’t see it though. I’m not so familiar with SXSW, but hopefully there’s someone sitting on the other side of the fence from Kevin.

Lauren,

Glad you like the spec work alternative. If I was needing some experience and just starting out, that’s the route I’d prefer to take.

Someone really ought to “wack ‘em” silly, that Wolff Olins!

I like your alternative to spec work, David. That is a really great idea.

David,

Great update on goings on in our world. I particularly enjoyed the Wolff Olins news. I’d recently created a variation of that logo with a play on words that isn’t appropriate to mention here.

More importantly, I’m keeping a close eye on what ends up happening with the SXSW panel on design contests. Sounds pretty skewed having Kevin Yank as the presenter…

I like it! reminds me of the Trusted Advisor idea in professional services.

Good to see a Scottish blogger!!!

Hi Ian,

You’re very welcome. I hope you’ve been keeping well of late.

Niyaz,

You’re also very welcome for the feedback. ;)

Armen,

That’s a very good point. I’m sure there are some SitePoint clients who don’t know everything about the logo design contest scenario.

grafic7,

You mention how spec work is bad, but say that design competitions are good, which of course is a contradiction.

David,
I believe that participating in design competitions are not that bad if you can get some eyeballs for your work. who knows when a client would get interested in working? Don’t you think so.
But of course spec work is a bit bad…
