I am surprised that his concept totally sucks. Both the font work and the logo. They are so utterly bad, that even I, being just an amateur designer, clearly see how it is bad and where it is bad, and even I could probably make something much better. Apparently, this is the reason why he was hired, as Microsoft is firmly set on the course of sucking.
(By the way, a note for the straightforward thinking folks: the fact that this particular design sucks does not mean the guy is not talented or promising, especially given his young age.)
- runn1ng 14y agoYou suck! And so does your family! Yes, this is not a useful post. Neither is yours.
- dakimov 14y agoIs life hard for you, a retarded guy? What's so beautiful about this... "community" is that a nonconforming opinion is downvoted, while a direct rude offense is OK.
- runn1ng 14y agoBecause that what your comment sounded like. "Microsoft sucks and this guy sucks and I can tell it because I can." (I personally know nothing about you, of course.)
- dakimov 14y agoI did not say the guy sucked, I said his design sucked, and it does indeed. And Microsoft's recent approach to design sucks as well, the new Windows logo is a 90 degrees rotated trash can. That was my personal opinion, I just write what I see and how I feel, I wouldn't downvote the folks who greeted the design, because it's their opinion (probably based on the lack of taste, but that's their own business). All of that weren't personal offenses to anyone, but your comment was. I can say 'Dude, your design sucks' to my best friend, and it doesn't concern my respect to them in any way. Even geniuses sometimes make crap, especially when they learn. What's so special about this? Are you a bunch of fanatics here to go beat and burn anyone who's got opinion different from yours?
- hythloday 14y agoIt's sad that you wrote this comment less than a day after writing this: "When I was a Junior Developer I though I was a genius and knew everything about programming itself, I was not even interested in improving my coding skills, because I thought they were perfect"
- dakimov 14y agoYes, so what? When I was a Junior Developer and knew almost nothing, even back then I could determine that some code is bad because it was unstructured, with bad naming, poor algorithms, etc., because the code was bad objectively, given metrics that do not depend on someone's particular opinion or mentality. I would call the very same code bad today, with all the experience and knowledge.
- kingkawn 14y agoYou still haven't shed the blind belief in your genius.
- dakimov 14y agoI don't think I'm a genius, I just think there's a lot of talentless and stupid folks everywhere. And I adore smart talented people, they are such a relief for me, but unfortunately there are not so many of them. No, actually, I think I am a genius. Is it bad?
- chris_wot 14y agoYou haven't really told us why it is so bad. I'm curious why you don't like it? In a team, the design would be pushed and polished by a number of other team members. This was a one man job, on a team he'd collaborate and come up with more awesome designs. He'd get feedback, where in this case he only got people sniping from the sidelines... people like yourself.
