Quoted from woody24:This is a Multi-million dollar company. There's no other profession out there that they would run this kind of contest with. Think they'd ask architects to design them a new building for $200 in gift cards?
Okay, I had decided not to post anything, but then I saw this.
This is absolutely not true. There are several professions that they'd run this kind of contest with, and mine is one of the big ones... Music. Holy crap, do you know how many companies run "CREATE OUR NEW JINGLE/THEME SONG/YADA YADA YADA FOR US!!!" contests everyday?? You know what I do when I see those? I think to myself, "Awesome, some kid (or adult) is gonna get a chance to get their music noticed in this overcrowded industry full of people TRYING TO GET NOTICED."
To all of you designers getting upset, I'm sorry, but Dominos doesn't hate you. Neither do I. But you may need to see if you hate yourselves, bc you're all getting way too worked up over this. This thread went from an honest contest opportunity to a whinefest, and that's lame. Good lord, it's even got ME whining about YOU whining.
And really, I'm not even trying to just pick on you woody24, it's just your post is the one that hit the biggest nerve. While we're at it, I'd like to point out other professions that have contests like this, to prove its not just the graphic designers (and heck, not just the music industry either)... Interior Design, Cosmetology, Authors/Poets, Journalism, Photography, the list could go on and on. Again, Dominos doesn't hate you, graphic design friends, please calm down.
