Aaaaaand boycott.
Their response on Facebook is laughable. Whoever is running their marketing and PR should understand first and foremost how much it pisses designers off to hear about big companies crowdsourcing and being cheap douchebags.
The argument that Moleskine makes for keeping in the participatory spirit of the website is absolute bullshit. The participation aspect of the site comes across in Moleskine users showcasing their use and love of the products. To then decide that you’re going to try and leech off this rather than paying for quality logo design like any company centered around well-designed products damn well should be doing…it’s cheap, backwards and idiotic. Have fun with your Q4 sales report guys, hope you enjoy the rotten fruits of your Marketing and PR departments.
