    “This work of art, created by a corporate graphic designer for a video game system, is a work of art, created by a corporate graphic designer for a video game system.”

    Fascinating.

      I mean, it’s not disqualified from being art just because the artist got paid by a corporation. Historically most great artists were paid by monarchs, religious leaders, nobility, or wealthy merchants, who were all the power brokers of their time.

      But yeah the fact that this is a product branding logo has weird “hail corporate” vibes.

        Please quote me where I said that it was.

        That and the fact that the observation itself is somewhat facile.

          I’m honestly not sure what you expected by clicking on this kind of post or what point you’re making. Of course it’s facile.

          You doing okay today?

            I’m honestly not sure what you expected by responding to this kind of comment or what point you’re making. I’d also ask you if you were doing okay if I felt like being condescending, but I’m not in the mood for it.

                Well my initial goal was pointing out how stupid OP’s post was but now that you’ve decided to engage with me I’d say it’s because of your positively magnetic personality and my near pathological need to bicker with people on the internet.

                  How is the post stupid? Yeah, you correctly identified that it’s a corporate logo/art work. It’s still interesting and clever the design that’s gone into it.

                    Well, for one, its relationship to “Gaming” is tenuous, at best. Two, it’s wholly superficial. There’s nothing even remotely conversation worthy here. “Look at this neat design.” Okay, and? What is the expected or desired response to that?

      I love when people attempt to gatekeep what constitutes art.
