Knowing photoshop =/= Knowing graphic design.
I'm quite relieved to read something like that...
I'm not fond of ayu's covers but for once I'm really glad she doesn't take fanmade covers for inspiration... Thinking most of the fanmade covers are better is a bit desilusional (I'm speaking about any artist in general).

I'm not saying people shouldn't try or else, because I like when people try something, and it's interesting to look at other people's works... but don't blame her team in comparison.
On the other hand the CDL fanmade logos I found here where way better than... the fanmade official one IMO! More elegant, more simple (and accurate with the theme... )
