Earlier quoted context omitted.

Designing the symbol an application will be known by for thousands of users is NOT a walk in the park. In programming there is an intended result, and for all intents and purposes, it doesn't matter how you get there. It's a 1 or 0 proposition. Design on the other hand is full of subjective opinions from the client and even the designer that get in the way of defining what the intended result is. Worse, the only way…

Or you can charge 100k for a logo with no options for the client: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb8idEf-Iak#t=3m10s
