I hate committees. Where I work it’s a big issue. Each project has around 10-15 people, most of them account and production people. Good ideas get killed so fast.
We share an office with a great book cover designer who goes by the name of Design by Committee – you might like his logo (and anybody who’s ever tried to get a book cover design past the editor, the publisher, the marketing people, the author… will know why he chose that name!)
Swissmiss is a design blog and studio run by Tina Roth Eisenberg. Besides swissmiss, she founded and runs CreativeMornings, TeuxDeux, Tattly and her coworking space called Studiomates.
i’ve already heard the same sentence using a giraffe instead of a camel. :)

Maybe the committee took into account the terrain and weather conditions… just playing devil’s advocate.

A committee is a group of people who, individually, can do nothing, and as a group decide that nothing can be done.

Well, if the goal of the committee was to design a mount for desert, it’s pretty well done, no ?
