Exactly the opposite, sorry to say. Consider these ingredients in our own little perfect storm:
1) Most clients have zero taste
2) Most clients are cheap
3) Most clients see little / no value in a professional design services
4) Sites like LogoBee have popped up to feed on the above three points

As my friend, also a longtime designer, likes to say, “Design has been commoditized. Get used to it.”

It’s always “I want the logo to be exciting, elegant, creative, classy, etc. It’s a really quick job so I’m paying $30 and I want unlimited changes.” I personally believe a client who would rather save a few dollars on something as integral to their brand as a logo shows what kind of service their potential clients should expect: cheap and lack of care.
