It's funny how people complain about blandness with a conservative design and then when a designer gets a bit radical, they complain about it being too much and want the conservative design back again. Then when it's conservative it's too bland again.
Just like the pre-Bangle era versus the Bangle era versus the new post Bangle era.
And the new Gorden Wagener Mercs versus the older "classic" pre-Gorden Wagener Mercs.
I do the same thing
