Many, MANY clients have questionable taste, and I can, indeed, see many who aren&amp;#x27;t sensitive to visuals to be more than happy with these Dall-E turd octopus logo iterations.

For another, the colors lack nuance &amp;amp; harmony. The logo is more like a children&amp;#x27;s book illustration, and not something that is simple, bold, smart, and can be plastered on any and all mediums.&lt;p&gt;Just my 2 cents.&lt;p&gt;I bet in another 10-15 years, though, things might get a bit dicier for fellow graphic designers&amp;#x2F; artists&amp;#x2F; illustrators, though, as all this tech gets more advanced.</text></item><item><author>woah</author><text>This blog post proves that Dall-E 2 will not make human taste and design ability obsolete.

The logo may be not optimal for every medium, not have a great palette, not have the feel you would give it... But the author is happy with the result, so who are we to say it&amp;#x27;s bad&amp;#x2F;good? Paraphrasing @mipsytipsy &amp;quot;colour harmony doesn&amp;#x27;t matter if the user isn&amp;#x27;t happy&amp;quot;.
(yes, I get the nuance where it&amp;#x27;s part of the designers job to explain why certain design elements are more beneficial, but the general point stands for &amp;quot;i want a logo for my small project&amp;quot; case)</text></comment>

At least it might get them closer to understanding the impossibility of their 7 perpendicular red lines requirement.</text></comment>
