you cannot “buy a brand.”

a brand is the public’s/consumers’ view of your product/company/etc.

a logomark or identity mark is not a brand. a name is not a brand.

sure, you can definitely try to shape and mold your brand with your identity, advertising, product offering, etc . . . that is the entire point of design and marketing, right? but in the end, a logo and domain will not create a brand. period.

that being said, maybe i will see if i can sell some of my “outtakes” on this site. haha. bypasses that whole “networking” thing to get new work, which i suck at.

Look at it like art (which logo design is NOT, in my opinion). Suppose an artist is commissioned to paint a portrait of some dusty old queen, but in the end the finicky old broad decides she doesn’t want the finished canvas. It makes her look old. So what’s a starving artist to do? Burn it? Sell it at a car boot sale? Keep it around for reference? He sells it, of course!
Poor analogy aside…I fully agree with your sentiments that incSping is based on a faulty business plan that is “ruining” (sort of) the industry of coroporate identity design and the like.
I wonder if incSpring bought one of their featured orphan designs and applied it to their own logo? The original is atrocious!

No no no no no no no. It has nothing to do with degrees “frustrated”

It has to do with graphic design business as a profession/practice/calling. This site claims to be “branding” while in reality is selling identities and mistruths.

Its not a matter of having a degree, its a matter of knowing what goes into a quality developed “brand” and the lack of honesty in the way IncSpring is marketing itself.

It always amazes me how pretentious designers can be. I guess I’m garbage because I don’t have a design degree and I’m not as elite as you, right?
