#2A little clunky on mobile, but the output is super cool.
My major annoyance is "trapping" the back button so I can't go back.

#3The mobile version needs help. I'm not sure I'd recommend this to my clients who have zero budget vs some of the other googlable logo makers (I'm a graphic designer who does periodic logo work and I offer to fix these auto-logos to make them more appropriate).

#4I tried it out and the UI is poor. Things like clicking buttons don't result in any user-visible action, like a page loading, or even something bad (but not as terrible as nothing) like the button changing contents -- a couple of seconds later the next step happens. This means clicking is click, hope for the best, wait 300ms, get bored, click again, give up. Same for the search, type in a term, the list of icons disappears, and is repopulated when matches are found -- unless no matches are found then nothing happens, you have to wait until you are pretty certain that the blank icon area means no matches and not searching.

#5Fantastic concept! But I'm completely turned off by the IP terms ([1] below). This suggests LogoFox is pushing icons without doing IP checks, and selling them as finished logo designs without any assurance that the user won't get sued because of this.
Don't take this as negative feedback, but as a tip to re-think the legal side approach. Better would be that you
(a) you do some copyright checks and your terms state what checks have been done; and (b) once someone pays for the logo, they own the IP rights in the logo.

#6Doesn't seem to work, if I choose text+logo, I only get a square with the first letter of the name I chose.
Also, the icon browser needs some kind of loading indicator, now I don't know if there are no results or if the search is taking long.

If you click the "Pricing" link all the icons you selected and which items you liked or not go away, and you have to start almost all the way over.

#9I used LogoJoy [1] a year or so ago to create a logo for my side business. This appears to have a lot of the same "designs" available as LogoJoy, but with a much less intuitive UX.

#10the pricing seems high for this service.
$30 for a computer generated logo. $990 for a professionally designed logo.
I'm pretty sure you can get a computer generated logo for free from a variety of services, and professional logos for much less than $990.
The UX on the site isn't great, so I wouldn't really pay for a premium service.
