what kind of logo did you even expect for $35 though?...
Nike's logo cost $35. Twitter's logo cost $15. I honestly didn't expect anything good, despite the satisfaction guarantees and "examples of past work" on the seller's profile. I expected to receive something very mediocre, and I was STILL disappointed.

#43I have such a bad experience with Fiverr when it comes to purchasing Android icons. They usually return with either poor quality icons or literally stolen icons from internet.
Sorry but you can't expect quality when purchasing from Fiverr. It's essentially the dollar store of internet services.

It's a race to the bottom and you're surprised that's how they do it?
But how can you justify stealing.
It's like buying a large TV on the street for fifty bucks. Would you be surprised if it was stolen?

#45My prediction: consistent inflation causes Fiverr gigs to consistently decrease in value until they boldly "pivot" to Tenerr in 2020. It sounds like a joke, but seriously, the name of their business does seem like it could have some ramifications in the long run.
I don't disagree, but I've been continually impressed with how "pound shops" (dollar/99 cent stores in the US) have coped between the mid 90s and now. It seems advances in logistics, manufacturing and the ease of international trade have counteracted inflation to a certain point, at least when it comes to the cheap crud those stores tend to sell :-)
So I guess in the very long run $5 isn't sustainable (and they're going at that direction btw... $5 is just the starting point nowadays)

The trouble is that the likelihood of that logo actually being unique is extremely low.
I remember a HN post (I think) recently showing how most of the logos a guy ordered were ripoffs.

I'm not justifying stealing. I'm just saying if you're paying five bucks don't be surprised if people do. It's like buying a large TV on the street for fifty bucks. Would you be surprised if it was stolen?
