		<description>Yasser, 

Thanks for sharing your view, I agree with you, at the end of the day it&#039;s the client&#039;s duty to go through the designer&#039;s portfolio and credentials.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t condone IT companies not &#039;caring&#039; about their brand value, but point taken.

I can&#039;t help it but wonder why then [do they] have a logo in the first place, a logo is meant to most importantly be a differentiator between brand A and brand B, especially those of competitors.

		<description>Cipro says Moya Technologies was registered in 2007 --- I don&#039;t know when MyBroadband was setup --- but it&#039;s an older entity --- it was forum before, and I don&#039;t think branding to them is as crucial as Moya.

But, then again, Moya is a technology company and from observational knowledge, IT companies rarely care about brand &#039;value&#039;

The problem is not &#039;bad designers&#039; (if the logos are clipart or template driven&#039; --- the problem is what do the diff. companies want from a &#039;brand&#039; if nothing, then it does not matter what they use.
