NKCSS• 10 years ago

This is an awesome idea with a very nice execution!

giarc3• 10 years ago

This is a great idea! I'd actually sign up for a mailing list to get notified when new logos are added.

I'm aware of products like fiverr and 99Designs, but I'm worried about sinking a bunch of money into them only to get crap back. I like being able to view the logos and simply browse without any commitment.

klinskyc• 10 years ago

99Designs has a money-back guarantee if you don't like any of the logos. Not sure how good they are about actually honoring it. You get a lot of crap and super-generic logos, but (in my experience at least), there are a few good ones

MichaelApproved3• 10 years ago

The base option includes a money-back guarantee but you quickly learn that keeping the not guaranteeing a winner for your project will keep good designers away.

I've worked with 99designs a few times and liked the outcome but potential customers should be aware that keeping the money-back option on your project and sticking with the base price will get you generic looking logos.

If you want to attract quality designers to your project, you'll need to increase the amount you're awarding and guarantee the payment (opt-out of the money-back guarantee).

Again, I liked working with 99designs but you'll have a hard time finding something unique and amazing at the $299 price with the money-back guarantee option. I'd recommend working with them but set your expectations accordingly.

kyriakos• 10 years ago

you can get some excellent logos from 99Designs. You can even invite designers based on their previous work to make a design for you so you can be sure the results will fit the style that you need. On top of that, after you pick the finalists you can have them refine them until you like them. IMHO designers are the ones at loss at 99Designs.

sambe• 10 years ago

That's funny: from what I've heard the design community has been worried about these sites since the beginning because of the possibility of doing work that ends up not being bought.

themartorana2• 10 years ago

Spec work. No one likes doing it. I'd much rather have a contract for my time and effort than sell logos like a sidewalk artist and hope you like them and are willing to part with $5.

tedmiston5• 10 years ago

I got the impression these are rejected designs from client work.

vblord2• 10 years ago

Wow. I've used Fiverr twice. I used the same guy to do a mobile app icon and a logo for a different business. He did amazing both times. Total out of pocket expense was $11 each. I got exactly what I wanted and it really really really looked amazing. I got the psd too. Best 20 bucks I ever spent.

svenfaw2• 10 years ago

Care to share the name of that guy?

gthtjtkt3• 10 years ago

I tested out Fiverr by hiring 3 people to do simple T-shirt designs for $10-$15 each. Everything I got back was either stolen from somewhere else, extremely poor quality, or didn't fit my request at all.

I'm sure there are great people on Fiverr, but you have to do a lot of searching or get really lucky.

Upwork costs more, but I think the increase in quality and communication ability more than offsets the price.

triplesec2• 10 years ago

You get what you pay for. Ayone who'd do a logo for $5 really hasn't got the experience / talent to do that. Hire a graphic designer just as you know you should.

roel_v• 10 years ago

I've gotten great results several times for $5, as well as for higher priced 'competitions' on 99designs. I'd never go back to the 'pick a designer and hope they're not a dud before having sunk 1000's in them'. Oh and not a single one will work from where someone else left off, so you get to start all over again. Ugh.

drusepth2• 10 years ago

I've had the best luck with Contests on Freelancer. I usually drop $25-$50 per piece of art I need (logos, mascots, icon sets) and usually get around ~30 submissions, of which at least half are solid quality. You just pick your favorite and that's the one you get for the price.

impostervt2• 10 years ago

Price goes up $40 per logo sold? So, after you sell 10 more logos, it'll be ($40*10) + $120(current price) = $520 per logo?

Seems like a strange pricing strategy. I guess it increases the "buy it now" urge, but at some point it will kill sales. I guess when it stabilizes you can just say "ok, that's what people are willing to pay for these". So perhaps it's a good way to explore pricing...

nathanaldensr2• 10 years ago

I interpreted that to mean for each customer, but now you have me wondering...

impostervt2• 10 years ago

That's what I thought at first, but it says each logo can be purchased only once.

have_faith• 10 years ago

He's sold 2 and the price hasn't gone up. I assume per person?

edit: wrong assumption, just delayed response

hn_user22• 10 years ago

Looks like it takes a minute for the price to increase.

carlob• 10 years ago

Let's say he sells the first for $40, the second for $80 etc…

The total he's trying to net is $40 * 50 (50 + 1) / 2 = $51.000

Not bad!

RussianCow6• 10 years ago

Except nobody's going to pay nearly $1,000 for the leftovers, so there is essentially a ceiling on the number of sales that will happen. Let's say the last logo sells for $400 (it's currently stopped at $320, so I don't think that's unreasonable); that's only $2,200 in total revenue for 50 logos.

mipmap04• 10 years ago

I think they'll have trouble selling logos for over 360 a piece though. At that point, they'll have only made $1800. Still, not a bad deal for the creator. I just don't think people will pay that much for off-the-shelf logos when sites like 99designs exist.

TimothyFitz• 10 years ago

Seems to be correct, went from $120 to $200 by the time I made it to checkout... which I then abandoned, but I was buying it for personal stuff.

tronje2• 10 years ago

When I first opened the site, it was $120 per logo, with 2 logos listed when filtered for "sold". Now it's at $200 per logo, with 4 in the "sold" category. So yes, it looks like the price per logo is increasing by $40 every time a logo is sold.

elboru• 10 years ago

One hour after your comment with 10 logos sold it says it will increase by $20:

Any logo: $420 . Price increases by $20 with each logo sold.

wodenokoto• 10 years ago

It's down to + $20 now, so perhaps they are going to land on a fixed price.

Grangar• 10 years ago

I like it, throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks!

91bananas• 10 years ago

Most of those logos remind me of 90's clipart programs on Windows.

ctrlalt_g• 10 years ago

The 90's are in fashion at the moment, I believe.

FilterSweep4• 10 years ago

They're flat design!

They are currently "trendy" in the front-end world, but for how much longer, I've been too far removed from front-end development to know. Here's an interesting read in the shift (semi-recently, mind you, 2013) [0]

More descriptive headline:

"Logo Pizza: Hot & ready logos for sale"

kbr• 10 years ago

Just increased to $200, nice!

amelius3• 10 years ago

Some of those logos look familiar to me. Who says they don't infringe upon existing logos?

tronje2• 10 years ago

With the per-logo price increasing by $40 every time a logo is sold, the final logo will cost $2000. But I wonder if it'll get that far. At that point, can't you find a decent graphic designer and get a logo exactly to your liking?

Quick edit: this is not a rethorical question, I honestly would like to know!

cschmidt• 10 years ago

I paid $750 to work with a freelance graphic designer (tywilkins.com), and have a very nice logo.

MichaelApproved3• 10 years ago

If you find something that fits well for your company, $2,000 can easily be worth it.

Working with a designer to create a logo for you can be time intensive. There can be a lot of back and forth with the designer as you refine the logo to something you like. Avoiding that time can surly be worth it for many companies with the right budget.

You can create a logo and pay a designer less than $2k but how much of your own time are you going to spend making that happen?

awesomerobot5• 10 years ago

I think that might partially be the point. These seem to be a backlog of unused concept, and the designer has a CTA for custom work below. It's a marketing piece.

johnward• 10 years ago

To be honest, I expected the ability to have a pizza cut into my logo.

pram• 10 years ago

Wouldn't it make more sense that the price would go down as more are purchased, as the most popular logos are already taken? Is someone really going to pay $1000 for 'Mr. Grin'

sborra• 10 years ago

Thought the same thing, Cheap first picks and expensive leftovers doesn't sound so smart.

condescendence• 10 years ago

After spending much time among entrepreneurs I find that there are very few with a "business" mind. Great idea, horrible model. This pricing model is so far out of left field that I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful.

It hasn't.

Although https://github.com/metafizzy is kinda interesting (what this websites UI is based off of)

leesalminen• 10 years ago

I've purchased multiple licenses from MetaFizzy. Good software and great folks over there! The founder reached out personally after purchase to learn more about our use of his product and sent me some stickers.

tptacek• 10 years ago

Seems to be working reasonably well so far today.

VikingCoder2• 10 years ago

I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful. It hasn't.

You failed at your research. In art, this is quite common. As an artist gains notoriety, their work goes up in price. How much do you think Picasso sold his early works for? How much do you think Picasso paintings are worth now?

Also, Minecraft started out cheap and got more expensive over time.

themartorana2• 10 years ago

Hey, we're chatting about it, right? Would a site with $100 logos make it to the front page of a highly trafficked site like this?

tomtheelder• 10 years ago

Have you considered that maybe he's using this pricing model because it's novel and entertaining? Perhaps maximizing his profits isn't his goal; it doesn't always have to be. Plus, any logos he doesn't sell in this scheme can just be sold individually later on.

I have never previously cared even a little bit about a designer selling logos, but this one really caught my attention because of the unusual pricing scheme.

tedmiston5• 10 years ago

Some very smooth JavaScript UI widgets on their site too

http://metafizzy.co

hellogoodbyeeee• 10 years ago

This is exactly a business minded decision. It is basic supply and demand. The lower the supply, the higher the price. It isnt perfect because the logos aren't a commodity, some will be more liked than others. I suspect that they will either add more logos on a regular basis (e.g. four more every month) or they will add more and take away poorly performing logos to keep the price in a certain range.

zackbrown• 10 years ago

Flaws notwithstanding, I appreciate the sense of urgency this pricing model imparts. "Buy now, or pay more!"

__jal• 10 years ago

It hasn't.

Pinboard.in used this model for years.

kirykl• 10 years ago

Steve & Barry's used this model in retail stores.

At opening the whole store would be priced at $5 or so then slowly it would raise the price every few weeks

They did however go bankrupt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_%26_Barry%27s

davemel373• 10 years ago

"After spending much time among entrepreneurs I find that there are very few with a "business" mind. Great idea, horrible model."

It's very risky to preface your opinion with a statement that might reflect on yourself potentially.

IMO,

This model is used successfully all the time in hundreds of variations, from Saas products upping prices as they add features, to people buying on sale before the price goes up, to penny auctions.

This is simple and brilliant marketing combining Fear of Missing Out, combined with fear of overpaying.

It literally works all the time.

Kiro3• 10 years ago

After spending much time among entrepreneurs I find that there are very few with a "business" mind.

I'm sorry but you seem to be one of them. Think outside the box please.

halcyondaze• 10 years ago

Yeah it has. Peter Lik.

arcatek2• 10 years ago

English not being my native language, reading your comment just made me realize the ":mrgreen:" pun (the smiley code that was shipped with standard phpBB installations).

Kiro3• 10 years ago

I don't know. I think the feeling of getting it cheaper if you jump on early outweighs it.

RussianCow6• 10 years ago

The early momentum is great, but the problem is sales will basically stop after the price hits a certain level.

doppel• 10 years ago

I assume the argument is that people will see it and strike "while the price is right". While $1000 is not cheap, it's also not exactly exorbitant when you consider the cost of creating your own logo or hiring someone to make it.

gthtjtkt3• 10 years ago

99Designs is cheaper than the current price ($320). Plus you get to have input and request revisions.

eloisant• 10 years ago

I think he wants people to hurry and buy it now before it goes up, rather than holding off and wait until it gets cheap enough.

That's a classical business move, like any "time limited sale", force people to buy it right now before they have the time to think whether they need it or not.

corysama• 10 years ago

Yep. This isn't a store, it's an event. The price model is about introducing time pressure to motivate you to buy right now rather than take the time to investigate alternatives. If the price reduced as more were sold, it would motivate a competition around "how long can I risk waiting for the price to go down?" which would lead to people leaving and forgetting to come back.

xigency• 10 years ago

Does a logo really strike you as a thing that you want to "hurry and buy it now" compared to spending some time looking at it?

jrs2352• 10 years ago

Yes, eventually sales will slow down as the price becomes too much. But in the interim the pricing model creates a sense of urgency that is likely to increase sales now. With the site most likely being used to market and sell custom logos (in and for the log run) his current pricing model doesn't seem that bad. Not to mention the pricing model also has some baked in social proof... someone paid $xxx for one of his cookie cutter logos! "Someone else found it to be worth it, I won't be outlandishly foolish if I buy one too..."

davemel373• 10 years ago

Two points. 1. Peoples tastes are subjective, so while Mr. Grin is likely not going to sell IMO, who knows who else might like it.

The pricing accomplishes two great things that are quite brilliant.

When someone is ready to buy, there are two excuses they turn to to not take action. The first is trust and the second is procrastination. Within the context of trust, is value (is it a good deal).

By having the price go up, and inventory disappearing, you conquer both excuses.

1. Social proof of a) others like these logos and b) others are willing to pay this price for that value.

2. As the price goes up, you get worried about paying too much for something you want and wondering if you will lose out on a logo you like.

Both of these compel you to take action. As you wait, your risk of missing out or getting ripped off go up in a very visual and real way.

This also does a great job of framing the logo value when you order custom from the designer.

All in all, it is pretty brilliant IMO.

snowfield• 10 years ago

Not really, this way you find the price people are willing to pay for your product

calbear81• 10 years ago

Actually, coming from a marketing perspective, this model is sort of like the Kickstarter model. Those who take a risk with a logo before the design firm has been established with a reputation will get a high discount factor but as more clients buy logo, the designer establishes a track record and can thus command higher prices since they can show a past history of sales/clients.

IshKebab• 10 years ago

No because price increases incentivise buying now. Price decreases incentivise waiting.

jaz46• 10 years ago

I think he just wants to encourage people to buy some of the logos quickly while the the prices are cheap. Forces immediate action instead of waiting and thinking about it.

I doubt there's any expectation that he'll sell all or even most of the logos in this fashion and it's certainly not revenue-maximizing -- but that clearly doesn't seem to be the goal.

ISL• 10 years ago

If there's a logo there that you like, the upward-racheting price adds urgency and drives a 'need to pounce' lest a) it disappear, and b) the price increase.

The author is pouring gasoline onto the impulse-buying fire.

At the long end, there are plenty of people who might pay a premium for a logo from someone whose logos are so good that they sold 48 of them in a day....

The author/artist is clever.

nolemurs• 10 years ago

I think you maybe misunderstand the point of this web site.

The designer has no interest in selling all or even most of the logos at the sort of market rate they could actually command. The website is much more useful as a portfolio/marketing tool than as an actual logo store. What the designer wants is for the price to rise high enough to prove that he can sell logos and to set expectations for clients who want custom work, while also guaranteeing that most of the logos go unsold thus keeping his portfolio active and engaging.

If the price went down with each logo sold, he might never even get that first sale, and if he did, there would eventually be a snowball effect which would lead to everything selling out, and his no longer having such a neat attention-getting portfolio.

bbernhard1• 10 years ago

Does the price increasing also goes for custom logos? I am really interested in a custom logo...but the price increasing thing would really make it less attractive ;-)

awesomerobot5• 10 years ago

I'm certain this designer charges $1000+ for custom logo design.

klausjensen• 10 years ago

I absolutely love this experiment with the incremental pricing, which creates a sense of urgency. Lovely artwork as well.

idsout2• 10 years ago

They are allowed to use the bower logo?

http://logo.pizza/img/custom-logos2.png

https://bower.io/img/bower-logo.svg

arcatek2• 10 years ago

He only use it in the "custom logo" section where he showcases his works. Since he's one of its designers, according to https://bower.io/docs/about/, I believe it's fine.

Kiro3• 10 years ago

He's the creator of the bower logo. It baffles me that you excluded the most obvious reason before ranting.

idsout2• 10 years ago

I would hardly call my question ranting. I figured it was possible the author had created the logo, but I didn't know for sure.

peteboyd• 10 years ago

We always have had a surplus of logos. When we design for a company, perhaps 3 to 5 decent ideas are sketched. Of course only one makes the final cut per client. We own any preliminary work, so we can offer these for use later. We would just change the name, revise slightly and change the color. Bam...new logo.

What we did finally was revise the ones we like (25 to 50 initially) and include them for free as part of a new web design project. A lot of clients have bad logos that can ruin a design. So it helps our designs and clients brands.

Clients could also purchase at a low flat rate if they liked one without a website. This has worked well too.

coldcode• 10 years ago

First reading the title I thought people were making pizzas with logos on them. Which would be a much more bizarre business.

tedmiston5• 10 years ago

Did anyone else expect this to be pizzas sold at a discount offset by having a company's logo burnt into the cheese?

smnplk• 10 years ago

Great idea. I'm stealing it. :D

tedmiston5• 10 years ago

Half-price pizzas? Take my money!

That reminds me of Flag: free printed photo (free shipping too) just with a sponsor's logo printed on the backside.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flag-worlds-best-photo-print...

wccrawford• 10 years ago

Can I pay extra and have a custom image burned into the pizza instead? Would be great for parties.

Reminds me of a local pizza place that will make the pizza in a heart shape for $2 more. Of course, my wife and I just had to buy one. The chef and the waitress actually went out of their way to let us photo it before cutting and everything. Way more than $2 additional work, IMO. If we weren't both dieting, we'd still be eating there quite often.

derrekl• 10 years ago

Maybe the owner doesn't know what the logos should sell for, runs this once, and then sets up a new site selling the logos for at or near the ceiling price from the unorthodox auction.

apgwoz• 10 years ago

Some of these look eerily familiar, and I wonder if they might infringe upon a Trade Mark...

elmigranto2• 10 years ago

For example:

Pizza's Horse Mane — http://logo.pizza/horse-mane

eSports organization Team Liquid — http://www.teamliquid.net

awesomerobot5• 10 years ago

As long as no one uses that logo to start something associated with gaming it's likely different enough to not cause issue. It's a somewhat common style for horse iconography.

ConnorG• 10 years ago

The sheriff looks too much like the logo for Natty Bo beer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bohemian

ChuckMcM• 10 years ago

Fun site, the magic is this one line:

" Need a custom logo? Let’s chat! yo@metafizzy.co "

The chance of you needing one of the pre-existing logos is small, the chance of needing a logo period is higher, and seeing the portfolio of logos gives you a starting point to imagine things.

The only negative is that it might anchor you emotionally to a lower than average price if the current logo price is small enough.

The web site concept though seems to be exactly like a clothing store putting last years clothes out on the side walk for "cheap" and just getting people walking by to think about it and come in and browse. Which solves Internet company problem #1, "Nobody knows I exist."

dood• 10 years ago

Yes, this is primarily a neat marketing idea, surprising that HN seems to have collectively missed this so far! Guess the hive mind is having an off day.

djsumdog• 10 years ago

It sorta reminds me of this one:

Jedd• 10 years ago

Well they're much better than the generic/overused logos[1] from my previous favourite logo-related HN discussion[2].

Hilariously (for me) after I sent that link to my sister, she revealed the recent purchase of an alleged custom-creation - a 'rainbow link of people' style logo that was almost a replica of one from that generic set.

Evidently logos are hard, but once you get past the biggest decision (should you bother to try to have one that reflects what you actually do / sell) finding a cheap one becomes much easier.

giarc3• 10 years ago

For all we know, these could be throw away's from previous work the designer did with other customers. "One man's trash..."

josephjrobison• 10 years ago

Yes - he said on his site that he wanted to do more logos, so he just did 50 in a row for fun. Now he's selling his "practice" work. Profit!

qwertyuiop924• 10 years ago

The premade logos aren't even a bad idea: If you have a project, and you see a logo in the premades that fits well with it, than you may well buy it when you hadn't previously considered paying for a logo.

corndoge2• 10 years ago

What is stopping someone from just taking the logo?

http://logo.pizza/img/happy-cat/happy-cat.png

orthecreedence• 10 years ago

A DMCA takedown notice, probably.

awesomerobot5• 10 years ago

What stops you from calling your company Coca-Cola and using their logo?

Fraterkes• 10 years ago

You get the illustrator files if you buy the logo, otherwise you only have a thumbnail.

leksak2• 10 years ago

These thumbnails are clean enough to be loaded into Illustrator and recaptured using the vectorize tool. Not sure about Inkscape.

How much would people pay for such tracing do you think?

m4tta2• 10 years ago

I guess if you enjoy being sued for $X amount of dollars then nothing is stopping you.

johns• 10 years ago

That's either a seal playing with a ball or a mermaid.

mendelk• 10 years ago

Cute idea. Note that it was just changed to go up by $20 per logo sold, but that still doesn't really solve the economic problems posed by some of the comments.

netfire• 10 years ago

I'm wondering if it will continue to decrease as demand decreases. If the amount was eventually lowered to go up by something like $5, it might be sustainable for quite a while...

noer• 10 years ago

Using a .pizza domain and using "Hot & Ready" in the tagline might make the casual consumer think these are logos made out of pizza, or are on pizza with cheese in the shape of a logo, or would have to do with pizza in general.

dpc_pw• 10 years ago

I like the idea of a website listing a lot of logos, me scrolling through them and picking something I need.

But I wish new logos would be added continously, priced separately, and definitely price increase on something that did not sold in the past is ridiculous. :D

elmigranto2• 10 years ago

I wish there was a price on sold logos, so I can see what those were worth to someone.

triplesec2• 10 years ago

I wonder how many of the sales here are from this being on HN. It's a classic time-scarcity sales ploy, like the one-day sale websites. Don't fall for it.

bbcbasic• 10 years ago

Plus... I wonder how many of the sales are real :-)

Scarcity and social proof in one hit, awesome. But who knows what really got sold?

ColonelTrick• 10 years ago

Whoever buys the "A-Ok" logo is going to have a very rough internationalization experience if they try to bring their product to Brazil...

Could you elaborate? Not sure what you mean.

theGREENsuit• 10 years ago

it's an obscene gesture, like the middle finger.

TimWolla• 10 years ago

My first reaction to that one was that it looked like Blender, the 3D software. [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software)

kriro• 10 years ago

The pricing model could be the logical conclusion to some basic behavioural economics insights. Feeling of a loss >> feeling of a win. Thus you create an ever present feeling of that potential loss (missing out on the lower price) which forces potential buyers to act to lessen that feeling of possible pain as opposed to the standard approach of selling based on the feeling of a win (my nice and shiny logo). This idea could probably also be leveraged to combat procrastination somehow. It also has that novelty factor of the pay per pixel advertising from back in the day. Neat :)

I guess the only problem is that the last logo shouldn't sell easily (without adding more).

jo909• 10 years ago

This makes it look like getting a logo is easy and quick. And it can be, probably.

It's not my area of expertise, but I would expect there are some pitfalls just like with company names, app branding and other branding/trademark stuff.

I would not want my logo to be too similar to somebody else, and researching that is probably tricky.

leksak2• 10 years ago

The person that made this site would probably be sued if he/she sold a logo to a company that's too similar to existing work, arguably not before the company itself gets sued. Hence, for new companies it's a gamble as the legal fees could put them out of business.

Maybe there is a disclaimer somewhere on the site, but I haven't found it.

Regardless, finding out whether or not a logo that you produced (or a design studio produced) is too similar to already existing work is difficult as images cannot be as easily searched as plain-text. This is hard for design studios too.

Also, and this is speaking as a layman, but initiating such a legal affair probably requires a trademark.

mikeryan• 10 years ago

Not sure how this works against something like 99 designs which can get you a custom logo for $300-1200 bucks.

https://99designs.com/pricing

j45• 10 years ago

This reminds me of stylate.com which was selling a logo and domain together for a reasonable price (hundreds instead of thousands). I'm not sure why the service ever shut down.

olalonde• 10 years ago

http://www.brandcrowd.com/ has more selection and doesn't increase the price for every logo sold.

kelvin0• 10 years ago

Brilliant! However, they are quite pricey at 500$. I always thought making a custom logo would be expensive, but buying a ready made one could be much cheaper, any thoughts regarding the pricing?

swagasaurus-rex• 10 years ago

It goes up by $20 every time somebody purchases a logo. Not really a sustainable business model, but it seems to be working wonders this morning with the increased traffic coming from Hacker News.

sotojuan• 10 years ago

Pinboard did the same thing in the beginning. Of course, Pinboard increased by a fraction of a cent with each new subscription, not $20.

rch• 10 years ago

Seems like all the components are in place to do automated domain-name, brand, and logo generation.

grillvogel• 10 years ago

wow $500 for some clipart what a deal

icantdrive55• 10 years ago

I have a business question.

Has anyone on HN known anyone who actually bought a logo from this particular site?

I think the site is great. I just question the sold logos, but then again I don't understand the buying mentality of most people.

I'm not knocking the site, or logos; just doing research.

I saw it in /new this morning. Only one logo had sold. Bought a logo for $80. Saw logo go to sold and price go up. I received the vector assets on the next page. Seems legit. Although probably short lived in its current form. Perhaps with some tweaks could become an ongoing concern.

Not sure what I will use it on. I thought it was well done and I'm sure I'll put it to use at some point.

As of 1.24 PST he has sold 27 logos for a total of 7560 if each logo costs 20 dollars more.

You should make it so that the purchaser can have an option to sell their logo if someone else wants it more than them. Take a cut from the transaction

Can anyone tell me what he used to get the logos to animate when filtered? CSS? (I'm a newb)

Yes, it seems like the JS sets (and unsets) CSS transition attributes when changing the list.

I suppose it uses Isotope (http://isotope.metafizzy.co/), since it's the same author.

This is great! It's an interesting idea, a fun concept that isn't too serious, and in my opinion the work is really fantastic. Next time I need a logo I'm hitting up this guy/gal (I don't know what a metafizzy is).

I was disappointed that this had nothing to do with any kind of Lego Pizza.

I feel like a lot of these logos are generic enough that you couldn't possibly enforce your exclusive rights to them.

I think it might be useful to cycle in new sold/unsold sets of logos to give the effect that sales are taking place and business is moving ahead. otherwise, it looks like no business is being done. also, maybe instead of "sold" something like "to be sold" might work to give the impression that it isn't off limits yet.
