I think both have merit. As someone who "cuts and pastes," I can say that often it's more than just finding a logo and adding text. Sometimes, it involves manipulating it in various ways. I think that the so-called cut and paste logo makers add plenty of value to this forum as do the people from scratch. I get plenty of enjoyment out of making them this way, and it feels good to be able to help people even if my logos don't match up with other people's logos. Honestly, I hate to see a debate like this, because I don't see what it serves to solve. Both types of logo makers have value. It would be one thing if I was trying to pawn off these types of logos as original and entering them in the contest, but I'm not.
