The amateur game development community would love these. Designing logos for in-universe companies is a thankless chore. But they're really adverse to using things without an explicit license. This could really use a CC0 stamp somewhere.
Logos by XX in your credits and you're done.

I can't upvote this enough. I know a few of the true stories behind the original logos of some of SV's unicorns and this is spot on (unfortunately, I cannot share them because they were shared in confidence). The parent comment is not wrong about the value of a great brand, but it can easily become a huge frivolous distraction after a certain point when you're should be focusing on building something useful for peopl…
Totally. I think there is plenty of value in design and brand work. The types of startups that don't have the money, or need to get a professional designer to help them out aren't the types of customer any designer would want in the first place. So free resources like these simply fill the gap to make sure startups don't waste $5 on fiverr for crap, instead get something much nicer for free. WHen they have the money…
These logos aren't good. A logo should have some degree of symmetry, simple enough to draw, original, and not readily resembling something in real life or a prior logo. this is an umbrella plus tear drop: http://www.logodust.com/img/logo18.png paperclip http://www.logodust.com/img/logo20.png too complicated to be effective: http://www.logodust.com/img/logo9.png ripoff of star trek and anarchy circle http://www.logodu…
The pharmacy logo is more or less the logo of Lloyds Pharmacy in the UK. Close enough that it could be deemed to be infringing their TM IMO (it's tricky though with generic imagery).
If you're referring to this device [1], it's a matter of opinion. Personally I wouldn't really agree: the mortar and pestle is a common enough device and the leaf is a nice distinctive element. The real risk in a situation like this is not really that you get a C&D from using it on your startup's landing page. The risk is that if you eventually tried to file a trademark for it, you would lose: either because some lar…
Doesn't a trademark have to be defended if you won't face the risk to lose it? Is the C&D really so unlikely?
How to open it in an open sourced way? GIMP?

Also probably too close for comfort to the git logo: http://git-scm.com/images/logo.png

Unfortunately for me, this happened to me. I was able to negotiate a coexistence agreement for my logo, but I could have done without the pain. If I were to start over from scratch, I would seriously consider doing the Apple/Google offline foreign filing trick [2].

The paperclip one would be great for company that gets you paperclips, _fast_.
