Earlier quoted context omitted.

Seems to be working reasonably well so far today.

Except now it's stopped at $320. That's an average of $93.33 per logo (if my math is right). They would make more money by simply selling the logos for $100 each, and they would probably sell way more logos.

If he sells all 50 that he has, he'd net an average of $1020 per logo. (First one was $40, price increases by $40 per logo, last logo is $2,000, total net is $51,000)

Did anyone else expect this to be pizzas sold at a discount offset by having a company's logo burnt into the cheese?

Great idea. I'm stealing it. :D

Half-price pizzas? Take my money!

That reminds me of Flag: free printed photo (free shipping too) just with a sponsor's logo printed on the backside.

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'

I assume the argument is that people will see it and strike "while the price is right". While $1000 is not cheap, it's also not exactly exorbitant when you consider the cost of creating your own logo or hiring someone to make it.

99Designs is cheaper than the current price ($320). Plus you get to have input and request revisions.

I think he wants people to hurry and buy it now before it goes up, rather than holding off and wait until it gets cheap enough.

That's a classical business move, like any "time limited sale", force people to buy it right now before they have the time to think whether they need it or not.

Fun site, the magic is this one line:

" Need a custom logo? Let’s chat! yo@metafizzy.co "

The chance of you needing one of the pre-existing logos is small, the chance of needing a logo period is higher, and seeing the portfolio of logos gives you a starting point to imagine things.

The only negative is that it might anchor you emotionally to a lower than average price if the current logo price is small enough.

The web site concept though seems to be exactly like a clothing store putting last years clothes out on the side walk for "cheap" and just getting people walking by to think about it and come in and browse. Which solves Internet company problem #1, "Nobody knows I exist."

This is a great idea! I'd actually sign up for a mailing list to get notified when new logos are added. I'm aware of products like fiverr and 99Designs, but I'm worried about sinking a bunch of money into them only to get crap back. I like being able to view the logos and simply browse without any commitment.

Wow. I've used Fiverr twice. I used the same guy to do a mobile app icon and a logo for a different business. He did amazing both times. Total out of pocket expense was $11 each. I got exactly what I wanted and it really really really looked amazing. I got the psd too. Best 20 bucks I ever spent.

I tested out Fiverr by hiring 3 people to do simple T-shirt designs for $10-$15 each. Everything I got back was either stolen from somewhere else, extremely poor quality, or didn't fit my request at all.

I'm sure there are great people on Fiverr, but you have to do a lot of searching or get really lucky.

Upwork costs more, but I think the increase in quality and communication ability more than offsets the price.
