With the per-logo price increasing by $40 every time a logo is sold, the final logo will cost $2000. But I wonder if it'll get that far. At that point, can't you find a decent graphic designer and get a logo exactly to your liking? Quick edit: this is not a rethorical question, I honestly would like to know!

I paid $750 to work with a freelance graphic designer (tywilkins.com), and have a very nice logo.

Price goes up $40 per logo sold? So, after you sell 10 more logos, it'll be ($40*10) + $120(current price) = $520 per logo? Seems like a strange pricing strategy. I guess it increases the "buy it now" urge, but at some point it will kill sales. I guess when it stabilizes you can just say "ok, that's what people are willing to pay for these". So perhaps it's a good way to explore pricing...

He's sold 2 and the price hasn't gone up. I assume per person? edit: wrong assumption, just delayed response

Looks like it takes a minute for the price to increase.

Wouldn't it make more sense that the price would go down as more are purchased, as the most popular logos are already taken? Is someone really going to pay $1000 for 'Mr. Grin'

Thought the same thing, Cheap first picks and expensive leftovers doesn't sound so smart.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

99Designs has a money-back guarantee if you don't like any of the logos. Not sure how good they are about actually honoring it. You get a lot of crap and super-generic logos, but (in my experience at least), there are a few good ones

The base option includes a money-back guarantee but you quickly learn that keeping the not guaranteeing a winner for your project will keep good designers away. I've worked with 99designs a few times and liked the outcome but potential customers should be aware that keeping the money-back option on your project and sticking with the base price will get you generic looking logos. If you want to attract quality designe…

I've used 99D on behalf of about a dozen clients and the cheapest we've ever gotten a great logo for was about $1300.

I'm sure some people have been happy with the lowest price point, but every time a client wanted the money back guarantee they ended up using. Every time I convinced them to opt out and spend a little more they were generally happy.

After spending much time among entrepreneurs I find that there are very few with a "business" mind. Great idea, horrible model. This pricing model is so far out of left field that I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful.

It hasn't.

If you find something that fits well for your company, $2,000 can easily be worth it.

Working with a designer to create a logo for you can be time intensive. There can be a lot of back and forth with the designer as you refine the logo to something you like. Avoiding that time can surly be worth it for many companies with the right budget.

You can create a logo and pay a designer less than $2k but how much of your own time are you going to spend making that happen?
