        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-11507-77330]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[Victor &amp; Spoils - a financially healthy Crowdsourcing organisation now owned by Havas global advertising network ran the uninvited logo competition for their own benefit - not for the benefit of the designer whose only reward for her hardwork was a bit of PR - not a job - there never was a job. If Victor &amp; Spoils want to gain PR and gain branding projects from large corporates off of the back of graphic designers - they should have made a financial reward available to the so called winner - err... winner of what.The design industry is so easy to exploit and Victors &amp; Spoils (the clue is in their brand name) is clearly very good at it.As the designer did all the work for free and for nothing in reality - she might also find that she has also blown her intellectual property. She applied no formal protection over her work such as using Creative Barcode or any other mechanism (www.creativebarcode.com)This is not the way designers gain work at all - it is pure exploitation by others for their own benefit not hers.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'll forward a copy of this to my son who's a senior at New Hampshire Institute of Art.  As I understand it, the solution is to make sure that copyright protection is on all your work.  This includes work done as a student on school assignments.  All artists deserve reasonable compensation for their work; and an art school that uses a student's work for any purpose owes that student for it.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes, this young woman did a good job, but guts? No. She did what students worldwide have done as assignments for years; redesign a logo. ANY call for design work that is unpaid is unethical in the professional world of design. ANY hiring agency that asks for or requires unpaid work as part of the job application process is unethical. Read the Graphic Artists Guild Handbook, or consult AIGA articles and documents.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't quite understand where the negativity comes from. What this very young woman did took guts and time, just as it takes gust and time to do an elevator pitch. (Did anyone really think that you come up with a 20-second pitch in 20 seconds? Because it takes hours, maybe days). If she's trawling for a job in a world that has in the past decade opened more borders that ever before in history, erected more cultural and race barriers than since the Cold War, a world that is both complicated and simplified by technology, then bully for her. She was in her early teens when 9/11 happened, and before she figures out the complexities of a world, she has to eat. Her design is clearly based on her understanding of people.  If I were head of AA, I'd hire her to work in the service innovation department, with job spec to revamp AA's flight experience to match the design.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[First thing I thought was that it reminds me of the US Air Force logo.  Second thing I thought was that black is not good for an airline.  Black is a traditional color of mourning after a death.  Maybe not the best color in an industry that - though safe - can kill a lot of people at once when an accident does occur.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-11507-77153]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[Call it student work, call it speculative design -- Using real companies for projects is encouraged or required in portfolio courses. When I first hired designers in the 1980s I saw strong school projects in otherwise near-empty portfolios. You can bet American sees its ID redesigned by job candidates every week. As a hiring manager, it's far better to see this than a portfolio of big-name agency work in which the designer (as an intern) had little or no involvement. At least Anna doesn't have to worry about another designer presenting the same work as their own.]]></description>
