I had an idea a few years ago to create a tv show -- basically The Iron Chef but for designers. Two design teams would have a limited time to design a logo or web page or restaurant menu or commercial. They'd have to meet separately with the client so you'd see their human interaction.

Plus we would create an online community around it for people to trade ideas.

I told a director friend who had sold several shows and he loved the idea. We wrote up a treatment and started pitching it.

Then the recession hit and no one was interested in new show ideas.

We still have the treatment. Maybe one day...
