Crime Against Design ("How to Ruin a Great Design" article response)

Reading that article helped me understand that some artists aren't cut out for the Graphic Design industry or make more mistakes then good decisions.
The article sets out valid facts about modern designs in today's everyday objects through out the world (more specifically London) and how they can be life threatening or could dent business sales.
Which in my opinion I agree with the authors points. Yes, it is good to have visible street signs but when learning how to drive one of the #1 rules is to focus on the road and not other outside distractions. This most definitely includes big colorful symbols placed on signs by designers hired to create them which will end up causing a car crash or causing someone their life from the distraction.
Other crimes to designs is when big companies change their logos or certain parts within their products/businesses which cause a negative effect to business and cause a decrease in profit because of it. People should make more noticeable yet more simple symbols or logos that would catch peoples eyes but not enough to endanger them!! Use more monotone colors and stick to simplicity instead of going all out with things that can endanger people in our everyday society or fracture a business.
