Feedback is great but you need to gauge the validity and popularity as well. You can’t take every feedback and implement or think about it – some will be impossible to implement. I am working with http://www.letsfixthis.com that is in its infancy but I feel is a rising star. I can see both the feedback and the “popularity” of that feedback so i know what I should be working on.

These are great tips.

I bet the guy who did the London 2012 Logo felt like a real douche when it was first unveiled. I hope he reads this and finds some relief.

Even if it is a terrible piece of work.

Great article. The line about “Kinko’s” made me laugh because it’s so painfully on the mark.

Great points. We’ve all been there. Feedback can be so draining. I’ve found one great solution for combatting creative erosion is to have a personal project, a creative outlet where no one is telling you what colors to use or how large to make the type. This helped me tons in learning to put client projects in perspective.

It’s a great refresher read though, Kudos!
