Metro Mired in Masthead Muddle!

Metro masthead entries

OK, so after spending a few days wondering what Metro had made of my design for their new masthead, I noticed they’ve picked their winners.

Sigh…

Some proper gash there. Sigh indeed

Do you also get the feeling it was rigged ? Not to toot my own horn, but my entry too pissed all over those that ended up on the Metro site. Would’ve been thrilled to see yours up there – would’ve found some solace in being beaten by something that clearly took some imagination and effort.. But THOSE ?!?! c’mon…

Thanks for the support MRSiPPY, I’d love to see what you did for it. I guess the one thing we can all take from this is that it proves design is harder than it looks.

I guess they were never in the market for a serious response at all, but if they unveil a new design in six months time that looks even slightly like mine, I’ll take them to the cleaners…

I don’t know who’s in charge over there at the METRO, but they need to hire somebody new. Out of the twelve they picked I couldn’t find one that I liked. There was nothing interesting, just boring same-old stuff. And who wrote all those horrific taglines?
