Logo vs. Clip Art
On the topic of being published, I discovered that there is an online article at Designorati where I am quoted several times.
Every now and then I Google my name for kicks, just to see what comes up. This time the Designorati article popped up about a third of the way down the results page. My quotes were taken from some posts that I made for a topic on using clip art for logos in a Yahoo graphic design mailing list. Obviously, I was strongly against using clip art for logos, as illustrated by my comments.

Congrats on the publication, very nice! I agree, clip art combined with text doesn't constitute a "logo" in the purest form, it's still clip art. It does however, constitute "design" - which can be as simple as placing a single word on a photograph.

Hmmm... I suppose I can see your point. It's kind of like what Phil Baines said about typefaces:
"There's no such thing as a badly designed typeface, only badly used ones."
I'm going to stretch that by saying that maybe there's no such thing as badly design clipart, only badly used ones.
