there are many types of designers...
there are those that blindly see a redesign as personal opportunity/gain, the chance to make their mark, and often equally as blindly, follow mapped out business objectives and client briefs without question. I'd generalise and say these designers 'believe' in the future and also 'believe' there's nothing wrong with the present... [they also usually have no clue about typography]
there are others who realise that rebranding is a waste of time, money and energy if the only concern is to change public perception, unless it's following a shift or change in business practice.. but often you wouldn't see these designers working in the corporate sector because art school and a year of corporate experience made it abundantly clear that they would be wasting their time...
there are others who know what they're doing is misguided, purposeless and ultimately wrong. they do the best that they can and have real passion for design and communication, but for one reason or another threw in the towel years prior so they could make a living and sleep 'decently' at night...
what's my point? I'm not completely sure, but I do know that's it's the first group that I have the biggest issue with as agents and advocates of change...
- Agreed.
