I wouldn’t call the clean design of LessWrong either involving deception or manipulation and I don’t think that’s what most rationalists mean when they say “dark arts”. The same goes for chosing logos via a competition.
There might be some logo designs that many people would call deceptive because they might be confused with certain existing logos but it’s not what most people consider as dark arts.
