Yes, the final design should be pleasing to the eyes, but it should also fit the budget, appease stakeholders, and last but not least, provide an effective solution to the problem being addressed.
Slapping together an unsolicited design like this is akin to throwing a successful dinner party and declaring yourself a better chef than Gordon Ramsey because one of your guest said your steak was better than the one he had at a restaurant in Vegas.
Sure, maybe you can do up 5-6 steaks at a time and average out a little bitter than some steakhouses, but you're not dealing with 100+ seats and a staff of 12 that evening.

Isnt these firms complaint though that they were never asked and that no design firm was ever asked. These unsoclisited designed are basically saying if in an hour we can toss something together that is better than the bag of crap 3m gave you imagine how we can meet your requirements if you gave us the contract.
