You are very right....I think is safe to say (although I don't like to criticize) most of the CH have absolutely no taste when I comes to design. The describe some wonderful idea they might have in their brief and then end up given the winning design to some logo that has been done over and over again. I guess some people just like polyester and not cotton…bit scary though.

Thanks Babba, I dont really mean to knock the CH, its the same thing with everything that is choosen visually. For example, my wife helps people decorate their homes and sometimes they will ask me advice about color for their walls or maybe carpeting. There are times that what I suggest and what they end up picking are completely opposite of each other. In other words most people have no idea what works with color or what doesnt work and end up picking a very bad color. It all comes down to what people like and dont like....we all have different tastes.

It is painful indeed when you see a good design go to waste, may it be ur's or a fellow designer. A lot of times i find myself saying in my head, "pfff the other design was 10 times better, idk why you picked that one"
But as you said it's a matter of taste.
It's good to learn how to mold yourself around the ch's tastes, but be careful not to ruin your own style.
All the best in future contests.
