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.

Does a logo really strike you as a thing that you want to "hurry and buy it now" compared to spending some time looking at it?

Sure. Maybe not for a company, but a lot of times, people put logos on individual projects. Maybe not around the current price of $500, but at the earlier lower prices, I could see someone looking at a logo and impulse buying it for a public-facing side project they've been working on.

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.

Fiverr is hit and miss, yes. It doesn't really pay if you have a single job. It pays if you anticipate needing 20, and can spend some time firing off jobs to multiple people until you find someone you like.

I've had people turn down jobs for idiotic reasons instead of just quoting me more, even though I was pretty much begging them to take my money.

But once you find good people there, it works very well.

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 we…

I have a business question.

Has anyone on HN known anyone who actually bought a logo from this particular site?

I think the site is great. I just question the sold logos, but then again I don't understand the buying mentality of most people.

I'm not knocking the site, or logos; just doing research.

I saw it in /new this morning. Only one logo had sold. Bought a logo for $80. Saw logo go to sold and price go up. I received the vector assets on the next page. Seems legit. Although probably short lived in its current form. Perhaps with some tweaks could become an ongoing concern.

Not sure what I will use it on. I thought it was well done and I'm sure I'll put it to use at some point.
