But it seems a bit too much of a Google "Me Too". I like yours a lot more than the original. But it seems a bit too much of a Google “Me Too”.

The proposal font looks very dated and cheaply done. I actually quite like the current logo - it seems very Web 2.0 to me which I think they were going for. Normally I am not a fan of Microsoft anything...and I also have never used Bing.com, but I don't see anything wrong with the current logo.

I understand the situation you must be in, to have been part of something but at the same time not having control over it. It must be frustrating. Particularly when people are opening criticizing it. As i said at the beginning of this article, there has been a huge amount of chat about the Bing logo, majority of it negative, but it's all talk an no action. Very little effort was made to offer any suggestions, something a little be more pro-active than moaning. I didn't want to make this anything personal to anyone but instead to explore different possibilities. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

We showed them a HUGE variety of logos, fonts, color schemes, etc. Even something very similar to what you proposed, however, the client was very particular about what they wanted. So while you believe you have a great concept here and the answer to what you believe to be an ill-designed logo, let me assure you, it wouldn't have been a contender, since this is not even close to the direction they wanted to go in. As a fellow designer, I would hope you would realize how horrible it would be to have your work (that you did not have total control over) dissected by a million other designers. All of who had no idea what you had to go through in the process and who you had to answer to. I guarantee you that if your proposed logo was chosen, you would have someone just like you posting a blog just like this about how they could improve upon it. Youssef,
