> I feel it's pretty funny that you think they're not logos. I didn't say they weren't logos, I asked in what way you intended them to be logos rather than some other type of graphics. It was posted as a Show HN, which is an invitation for the community to look at it and give feedback. I found myself a little puzzled over what I was looking at. To be clear, it's fine that you think of them as logos! But in common parlance, a logo represents a specific thing. It's not the shape of the Mitsubishi logo that makes it a logo. It's how it's used to represent Mitsubishi. These are 1000 generated designs that don't seem to represent anything in particular. The two interpretations I could imagine was either that you were offering them as "free logos" for anyone to use, or that you created a generative design system for your own use, where the logo might look different every time. You don't need to get so defensive over some downvotes (fwiw, complaining about it is against the guidelines, and your complaints about it dominates the thread by now). You made a cool thing and it's an interesting design study, but as a Show HN it's just not very clear what it is or how it's intended to be used.

Please don't tell me what they are or not. I created them. If i say they're logos then they're logos. Please don't tell me how i need to feel. That not up to you, I'm fine how i feel, if you're not, your issue, not mine. Please don't tell me I'm being defensive, you don't know that, and are just projecting into the story that I'm defending against some attack, or i don't know show. Just some story maybe so you can pretend to look down on someone else. Please don't explain to me how show operates, i think i know better than you. I don't see you having much good experience with show, I've got more. I'm not being defensive nor defending anything nor complaining. I'm being clear how i feel about it. Why don't you criticize people trying to put down instead of criticizing me responding... Unless you support people trying to put down? If the thread is dominated by people putting down, that's not me, and if you're against that, you can speak up against it. I just feel sad for some people they couldn't have a good experience of this because they got hung up on the wording, and sad for others they need to put down to feel better. Be positive and supportive, not negative, mean or gratuitously critical, that's in a show, but guidelines or not, that's just being kind.
