If you want to be taken seriously you need to learn how to offer constructive criticism. Coming in here with a low activity count, boasting of "25 years experience blah blah" and then asking for a payment in excess of $500 per hour for a design is not usually how it's done. You are correct that the launch could have been handled better, but the launch is done & finished now. If you want to be a part of this community pls start looking to the future rather than moaning about the past. Discussion is healthy for this thread/community but playing the "I told you so" card is not. I hope you can see that.
The post you refer to was in direct response to redcoins request that I illustrate where I had contributed... If he had been reading the forum i would not of course made back reference to my contribution and he would not have bothered to challenge me on this, but as this was an attempt to undermine the contribution I have made and also undermine my personal integrity within this public forum I have the right to reply and give reference to the contribution I have made which represents THE major initiative in changing the logo and slogan.
Again, If you had been following the thread of the logo design competition I spent many posts giving constructive criticism to help avoid some of the problems we now have with the branding... constructive criticism (if you bothered to read my posts) is a device I have regularly employed to effect change since joining this forum so your comment is a little out of place here.
'Discussion is healthy for this thread/community' is a theme I have also mentioned many times in this thread when there has been 'heated' debate and I am in total agreement with you here.
