The LogoSauce Blog
How to: Versioning
Early on in the development of LogoSauce – we decided that we had to follow the principals of Getting Real and keeping things simple.
To that end, we had to learn to say no to features.
When it came to versioning of logos we thought we had to have it.
However after thinking about it – we decided that it wasn’t really necessary. Users could just publish a new logo and call it “version whatever” or they could just upload a new logo over the top of the old logo and we would leave it up to the designer/user to manage the versioning.
This saved us a lot of headache and enabled us to get the site live sooner rather than later.
So if you want versioning – just upload a new logo and call it “logo version2” etc.

1. Good idea – but we are limited a bit on space. Originally had this included but removed it to tidy up the interface – with the belief idea that people will view a logo detail to see comments. But your point noted.
2. Browse: Actually if you kust click the search button with no term entered … that is exactly what it does … lists all logos by date published. So in effect a browse function.
Alternatively you can do a browse search with logos sorted by score or logo name using the advanced search drop down.
Here’s maybe a feature suggestion. Under the logo thumb add a number of comments display…. “Comments: 3”
And suggestion 2: Logo Browse. Instead of search… or in addition to it. Just browse. Maybe filters for industry, color, blah… but default for now to browse all. Newest to oldest, flickr fashion.
