well, maybe organize a committee and try to make it illegal.
i won't give you much chance.or you go ahead and find creative means to deliver a little bit more to your clients. so that they feel it is worth hiring you.

We are seeing the age of fast-design.

Yep, it happens... lots of visual ugly clutter. Computers enable that. Perhaps the crepe place across the street from me used them.

such a waste of time worrying about this.
oven-buns are made everywhere in cheap factories. yet, we see more and more quality bakeries..
- +1 The people who use this kind of site, are the same people who would have gone without a logo before these types of services existed.baseline_shift
- existed. In our visually overloaded modern culture, the market for "graphics" has become quite large, and a growing number of bottom feeders is indicative of this size.baseline_shift
- growing number of bottom feeders only proves this. We should be glad so many people are aware of 'graphic design'.baseline_shift

dude, this is perfect.
You can thank this guy (logo king or whatever his name is) next time you DONT have one of those annoying clients that think they can get work from you for pennies. "Oh come on, its not that hard is it? My nephew did my last logo and looks pretty good, don't you think? Just do this one for me and I promise you that when I become famous you are coming with me to the top"haha..
we all need this, and you all know it.
You should be thanking this guy, not insulting him

I was impressed by the number of design concepts that were offered, and I found most of them to be worthy of a logo. I finally found the logo that may just get me elected to office. I look forward to doing business with you again.

I don't worry much about this kind of site, but I do think there is a higher conversion rate of people/businesses to this type of trash simply because it is so readily available. The $50 logo or $200 web template sites are everywhere and as a result any schmuck can have a site or logo with very little effort or money. I think the skills were more appreciated before this over saturation, personally. Sure there are plenty of people who appreciate good design, but there are just as many who don't because they use these services and don't know any better.
So in the end, I feel like they do some degree of damage.

It's like comparing a fast food burger vs a steak dinner.
some people can't afford the second, or they just don't need it anyways, those were not going to spend the price of a steak anyways so I feel like you are not really loosing clients, Its just a way to bring design to a larger crowd, a first step, maybe they start there, and will learn the value of proper design and will hire a designer on the next project, maybe they won't, maybe they will ever consider it, and if that is the case, well you never lost a client then.I had people come to me to actually fill out their templates, cause they don't know how to do it, I always turn them down.
They think that because they got the template done, now its going to be cake, and I explain to them that now I'm going to have to learn someone else's way to do a site in flash and that makes it twice as hard for me, so I will have to charge them the same amount of money that if they would hire me to do the entire project in the same place.It may sound like a dick move, but I really don't want to get involved on completing template, unless its really worth the time you know? That could be something negative from the situation.
Now that they have the design, they hire a designer to fill out the pages by selling themselves out of their convictions just to earn a few bucks. Well, I will keep saying no for as long as I can afford it, what else can you do?
