Earlier quoted context omitted.

Guaranteed to be unique, designed by me, I've addressed this in the part mentioning AI and templates.

i saw what you said, i believe what you are saying, but I'm talking about something different: if you independently with no knowledge of other logos, inadvertently, purely by chance, recreate an already existing logo, the person who deploys this logo is liable for trademark and/or copyright infringement. I'm asking "when does the trademark and copyright search take place, who does it, if it uncovers that your work is…

Absolutely, in the unlikely scenario you have presented, a do-over is definitely the resolution, that goes without saying, will add this clarification on the site. Thank you for your feedback.

Your logos are quite good but I don’t like the styling of the chat page. It makes me question the quality of the other design work. That may just be my personal style tastes, though. But on my phone, it is quite large and uncomfortable to scroll through, with awkward “UI” styling. I would imagine it might work a little better if the style were a bit closer to Android or iOS SMS, or telegram messaging UIs. I personall…

I mentioned this in another comment but I don’t think UI and logo design skills are the same thing. The author is obviously talented at logo design. I appreciate going out of their comfort zone and doing some UI design. That’s the necessary precondition for improving anyways.

Yes, but they are both “design” so of course it’s going to reflect on the product offering. Nothing wrong with criticizing what is offered for review. It is just a fact.

Was a quick and easy read for me. The novelty works for me as I generally do read every word and dont fall into scanning if It's worth reading. Have used similar models in regards to pricing and revision policies. Thought the logos were excellent and far exceeded the requested price.

There was one logo with little bowl and chopsticks, something Thai related and when I first saw it I was reminded of a cockroach before recognizing the chopsticks and bowl.

It only uses half of my available screen width, and completely wastes the rest.

Also, on loading the page, a total of only 108 words could fit on my screen. Everything is too big. And honestly, hard to read because of it.

For reference, 108 words is about the length of this one comment. Which takes up only about a 6th of the height of my screen, even if it still wastes a lot of horizontal space.

If I came across that page organically, I'd navigate away before reading the 108 words on the topmost visible screenful.

Thank you for your feedback, that would be an easy fix, however you are the first to point it out, so will have to monitor this aspect a bit longer.

Made some adjustments, can you see if it's more comfortable for you now? Thanks.
