CAN YOU BE HEARD if you aren’t saying anything? The Town of Midland (Ontario, Canada) seems to think so. They’ve decided to run an open competition to create a new logo for the town.
As with most speculative design contests, information is limited, but I would suspect that the Town feels that a new logo will give them a new look and a new identity. Ultimately, they must believe that economic development will increase as a result of their shiny new mark. Why else would they go down this path?

In tough economic times, don’t be tempted to work for free unless it’s for a good cause
WHILE speculative work has always been an area of concern in the design industry, you can expect to see a rise in these types of requests as the recession causes clients to cut costs, tighten budgets and expect more work for free.
