Tell me if i'm overreacting.

The whole logo thing. I think that there should have been more information and specifics on what the admins wanted, because art isn't something that's easy and it's not as simple as just wipping up an image. I felt that my time was kind of wasted when I heard that the admins were not going to use any of the logo designs. And we're doing it for free, too.

I also think that the community should vote on what they would like as the new logo. A poll on the front page after the deadline, perhaps. I was happy for the guy who got his logo chosen, but then after a day or two it got taken down without much warning (with some people saying how rubbish the design was). I just think it's disrespectful towards the artists to use them like that. If you're going to use artists for free, at least tell them what you're looking for before they put in the effort. What kind of look are you going for? Are colours alright to use? Should we make our own typefaces or can we use premade ones? Is blood okay? Is minimal ideal? etc. Every artist has vastly different ideas, so if the admins wanted a specific kind of unique, then they should tell us next time.

I don't want to blame anyone, and I think the admins are fine, but I just feel disappointed .
