Quite a lot of these look _very_ close to existing brands. Close enough that if you do something similar to them using it you're probably going to need a lawyer.

There are a few look-alike logos in that bunch - two of them remind me strongly of Docker and Google Kubernetes Engine.

Nice! We at http://draftss.com had been thinking to do something similar for the startup and open source software community.

I think I see where you are going with this and am interested in how your pricing is working out.

You seem to have a flat monthly fee structure - and at a fairly "high" price point. If I was "just" looking for a logo I could pay your monthly fee just once at somewhere like 99designs, so I might not take retainer. But if I had greater needs for design 250 a month would be a bargain and you are too low and you will be doing a lot of work for nearly zero.

How has it been working out?

Have you considered tiered pricing ?

AT&T logo was mentioned elsewhere in comments. Any other examples?

Off the top of my head:

  - mr jumbo: php  
  - foxy: gitlab  
  - moby: docker  
  - steps: maybe webpack?  
  - the fall: endomondo  
  - apple: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Aug%2BBkatL._SY450_.jpg  
  - cosmos: CircleCI  
  - watchbob: Datadog?
Quite a lot of the others remind me intensely of service logos I've seen once but never used, especially birdangle and neo.
