Is it time to stop glorifying the brand and focus on the designer?

I'm guessing he is still reading these threads, just no longer participating. Are you reading this CAF? your thread lives on

Would it help, or hurt, for example if Don Figuroa's name was written somewhere on the package for any War Within Prime?

Also who exactly decided to include Minimus Ambus? A lot of people would like to have a word with him.

Creative brilliance should never be homogenized. IMO, a creative splendor can not be easily replaced.

Let's look at your sports analogy- Do you think Gretzky was nothing? That it was all because of Edmonton and that nobody should ever want a 99 Jersey now?

Ever wonder why Ozzy did better than Sabbath after they kicked him out of the band?

Queen fizzled out when Freddy died.

Artistry is not corporate generic fodder.

Not saying you are entirely wrong, but it really depends. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith and The Eagles, just to name a few, were way better as groups than the various solo projects some of their members had. Pink Floyd without Waters was a shadow of itself, but Waters alone is really boring. Some art project are truely group efforts and some really are shinning trough because of a single person.
