Hey guys - Dawson here (founder) let me know if you have any questions about Logojoy / the story.
You are a natural talent, and I envy you. :)
What struck me the most is going with the old and tried tools (PHP+MySQL). Nowadays everyone - myself included - is trying to have an excuse to try the sexiest JS framework of the day and most of us fail miserably to deliver anything useful - because of lack of experience or just reinventing the wheel altogether. Old and boring is still sometimes the best.
The nice thing about theorems is that even when they're old, they're still theorems.

On the flipside, this surely has the potential to put thousands of cheapo logo designers out of (that line of) work.
Super beat that you need to sign up for it to view the logos it produced. Enjoy the fake email I guess.
The messaging here is a little coy - "Signup to save your progress" But I don't care about saving my progress, I'll just close this and... oh, I can't. So it's not so much, sign up to save your progress, it's sign up, period.
You should make it possible to close this dialog and store a session cookie so people can come back.

Have you looked into whether this is legit on legal usage? You appear to be using noun project icons in these logos, and afaik most logos on the noun project are creative commons with attribution (and I confirmed by selecting a few logos with icons which matched this license on the noun project site). It doesn't appear that you provide any attribution at all to the icon creators wherever you display the icon, and I h…
Squarespace, Tailor Brands and some other tools are using the API for logo design (without the attribution) much like what Logojoy is doing.

Semi-related but wow: /app.php -- hadn't seen that in a while. It's like bumping into an old friend in the street.
It's just that most sites/frameworks that use PHP use some kind of rewriting so the ".php" isn't visible (CodeIgniter/Wordpress and many others do this automatically).
Its refreshing to see a startup doing well and not feeling the need to force a subscription on people. I get that SaaS can be a good business model (great, even). On the other hand, I think subscription fatigue is real and you should think hard about your pricing. Dawson is making $15K/month on ONE TIME fees–and fees that are lower than a lot of monthly SaaS plans. I want to see more of this.
