I think they are great graphic designers and brand interpreters. Only thing that they lack is their web work. That I think sucks.

I'm not folding – I still think their latest logos are boring

- so it's subjective. Don't base opinions on that.********

I'm glad I didn't keep the full name I was going to label this thread - Pentagram sucks balls...
But I would like to see someone actually try and persuade me that the two logos I mentioned earlier are stellar work... (which they aren't)

Are think only judging from its graphic design or brand interpretation as a whole?

On Pentagrams body of work , you have the nerve to say they "suck" based on 2 logos? Are you f-in kidding me man?
You need to do some research on their history and contributions to the world of design before you start mouthing of like that.

As I have said before, Pentagram has a really interesting dynamic to their work, especially their latest logos. Great in application, questionable in stand alone.
The thing is, they always follow through projects to create an abundance of creative, dynamic collateral that really ties the logo and the brand together. So there.
- yes... the logos on their own suck... I can have that opinionAmicus

- I agree this sucks. So does Ruby Tuesday.joeth
- What is not to love about that logo? The beer glass is reminiscent of the old Miller Moon logo, while overall it looks like an eye a la UBISoft.deldelesc

I like the new coors one, at first I did hate it though.

Yeah they have been around more than 30 years. That alone says something about their work.

There are no great designers, there are great sales man / woman, who happen to design.

nice portfolio Amicus

this one is better.
http://www.hillmancurtis.com/ind…Paula Scher knows what she is talking about and her style certainly permeates through a lot of their more recent work. whether you are a fan of that style is another question. They are hit or miss for me but I would not disrespect them by saying they suck.

This is how I see it from architectural perspective. An architect is not an architect with out clients. As per designer, if there are no clients, he / she is simply expressing art form through design.
Its the boundary of limits and rules the define a challenge. When the canvas is blank and no over sight, it lacks element of selling through. Without selling through, it is mainly an expression, not problem solving. Designers problem solve and sell. Not just make things look pretty or interesting for sake of self expression.
- the bigger and richer the client, the more boring their logo should be!********
- I know plenty of designers and architects who aren't great salesman, so you can't sell me.moveinspace
