If you got an email from a stranger who said they’d donated $200 to the char­ity of your choice IF you’d have them (and a friend) to a veget­arian din­ner, would you say yes?

The 50 Dol­lar Logo Experiment

I turned to the clev­erly named 50DollarLogo.com, a site based in Sri Lanka or some­where prom­ising six logo designs, unlim­ited revi­sions, and a 1–3 day turn­around. Who needs messy things like research, insight, or even a modicum of inform­a­tion about my busi­ness, when I can have unlim­ited revi­sions?

This feels a lot like my life at the moment, only I am the one try­ing to make a decent logo out of cheese and Naz­areth and the people I work for want some­thing with more anthropomorphism.
