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 think he just wants to encourage people to buy some of the logos quickly while the the prices are cheap. Forces immediate action instead of waiting and thinking about it.

I doubt there's any expectation that he'll sell all or even most of the logos in this fashion and it's certainly not revenue-maximizing -- but that clearly doesn't seem to be the goal.

Whoever buys the "A-Ok" logo is going to have a very rough internationalization experience if they try to bring their product to Brazil...

My first reaction to that one was that it looked like Blender, the 3D software. [1]

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...

It's down to + $20 now, so perhaps they are going to land on a fixed price.

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.

At $560 only 6 hours later from your comment

I don't know. I think the feeling of getting it cheaper if you jump on early outweighs it.

The early momentum is great, but the problem is sales will basically stop after the price hits a certain level.

This is a promotion to make people excited about the logos that this guy creates. The pricing of the individual logos is irrelevant outside of the promotional value they give to the designer.

Adding some tension like this increases perceived value, and watching other people take logos due to the raising price makes the perceived value go up even more.
