THAT is a very interesting thought and addresses the article on its own terms. I was getting a bit weary of the designer-ego bashing. The idea that the story they are trying to tell is one of rapid innovation in small teams is a really excellent observation, and if that is what she is truly trying to accomplish it's very interesting.
That said, where does the 30 days of logos fit in? Just as a ramp to draw additional attention to the CEO blog post?
- mbesto 13y agoI think the 30 days of logos is an ongoing engagement that achieves two things: 1) Provides an on-going set of buzz. You'll have heaps of people criticizing a lot of the logos. The PR value is absolutely massive for a 30 day event. 2) Reinforces the perception that Yahoo is open, creative and is "listening to it's users". I was getting a bit weary of the designer-ego bashing I don't think the designer-ego bashing was unwarranted, since I agree with the author on that premise. What the author failed to recognize is why this PR move was written this way.
- emhart 13y agoSorry, I meant to say "designer-ego bashing in these comments." That was unclear. I too agreed with the author on that premise.
