World Day of Design

Seems to be a "holiday" designed by one organization. I can't find evidence that shows it is recognized as an "international holiday" by any organization or nation but this AIGA group. Metros232 00:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

  • My concern is this: what if a company invents and heavily promotes via Web a new 'holiday'. Then WP picks it up, before it's really established, and once WP picks it up WP becomes a factor in its establishment. That would not be a passive observer role which WP should assume IMO, but a positive and active feedback role which it shouldn't. In a way WP becomes an advertizing tool. Assuming we don't want that role, I think it makes sense to be really sure a holiday (or similar) has taken root before accepting it on WP. Crum375 17:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • "World Graphic Design Day" predates the AIGA's promotion of it, but anyway, they're a non-profit group that's been around since 1914; this isn't a scheme by some corporation to make a quick buck by selling greeting cards and candy.--Pharos 18:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
