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'

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. Although https://github.com/metafizzy is kinda interesting (what this websites UI is based off of)

> It hasn't.

Pinboard.in used this model for years.

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.

Care to share the name of that guy?

yeah, it's knok_designs. I highly recommend it.

Some of these look eerily familiar, and I wonder if they might infringe upon a Trade Mark...

For example: Pizza's Horse Mane — http://logo.pizza/horse-mane eSports organization Team Liquid — http://www.teamliquid.net

As long as no one uses that logo to start something associated with gaming it's likely different enough to not cause issue. It's a somewhat common style for horse iconography.

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.

You get what you pay for. Ayone who'd do a logo for $5 really hasn't got the experience / talent to do that. Hire a graphic designer just as you know you should.

make that $420, despite arguments against (that I agree with) this model .... its working.

Wait, if it increases $40 per, how did it go from $320 to $420. Need a "fishy" logo. :)

it increases by $20/logo sold

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.

Even with just 3 people at $10-15 each, you could sink more money into Fiverr and come out with a better logo than the predominately flat-UI only designs provided. However, Logo Pizza still has some (IMHO) great ones for sale

Just wondering - how were you able to tell the idea was stolen from somewhere else? Simple reverse-image searching, or did you have a better procedure?
