Couldn't agree any more with what you're saying. Thanks for sharing your opinion on the subject!

As a company, you have a responsibility to create and maintain an image. Shortcutting through that element is just like short cutting through any element of your project. Half assing it will only harm your project. And your image.

Nospec work doesn't allow for the most important aspects of designing. You do not get a 1 on 1, or get to communicate and draft ideas and goals for what your logomark communicates outward. Much like a suit, logos are tailored for a company. It's not just about what looks best.

Devaluing an industry harms design as a whole, not on an individual level.

Our thoughts definitely concur on this subject @ericarthurblair, I see you know your stuff!
