Default Do Designers Think Alike Experiment

Hi

Its not strictly a competition, but for a bit of fun I am running a "Do designers think alike experiment. This is because I see so many articles saying this logo looks like that one, and some of this is no doubt to trends in design.

Its just a bit of fun, but if you're bored I have 2 fictitious company names which I will sketch rough logos for and am asking others to do the same. I will upload mine to my blog the 29th May and ask anyone else who wants to take part to upload theirs to their webspace or blog and send me a link to them which I will put on my blog. Full details on my blog.

No prizes, sorry but I will link to anyone who takes part.

Thanks

exactly where did you come accross the article that suggested that? Can you forward me link to that article?

Thats the most preposterous statement I think I have heard this week (other than toon on a PC.. thats funny)... Let them spend 10minutes looking through this site and then let the author of that article ask me if they think anyone of us think alike.. unless the topic is beer, burbon, or wine that is.

Tommy,....I think it is only in regards to design thinking. For instance, if I design a logo for the same company that 10 other designers create too and we show them at the same time, will most of them be alike or similar?

I would say that the majority would not. There are many unique designers with their own styles out there. And there are at least 100 ways to do any one logo name.

IMHO....if several of the logos are similar, it's because the designer is not digging deep enough to get creative. And that is just IMHO.

But we'll see what happens with this contest. It may prove me wrong.

THe same people that create the same design work are the same ones that will read a book (or not) and see the movie a year later and say to themselves... "that's exactly how I imagined it"...
Tell me you don't know what I'm taling about there

i think different and similar outlooks is very healthy to the design process
