Here's a survey tool I'd like to see. One in which the user can specify: this survey is to appease me and my ego -- build a survey of 5 questions designed to tell me what I want to hear. This survey is to get real feedback, regardless -- For real, tell me what do you think about this thing? That'd be doing something impressive.

From a designers perspective, it is important to be able to brand everything sent out by a company. Too often you see generic, ugly surveys.
