What to Upload at LogoSauce

Now that we’ve decided on the image sizes to be displayed on the site – we had to think about how we ask users to upload their logo designs.

Because we’ve decided on a lightbox image size of 640×480 – we’re going to need at least that size uploaded. Read more…

Nearly live

LogoSauce is nearly live (well Beta anyway).

Today (well we have to wait until early tomorrow NZ time)is Apples big announcement day and we’re expecting to seem some cool stuff from Steve and the Cupertino boys.

So it’s probably prudent to let the excitement die down a bit – what we need is a slow news day (do they still happen?) to announce a Beta launch day for LogoSauce™. Read more…

How to: find source artwork

Research suggests that 2/3rds of all studio time is in recreation of existing work. Such a waste of time if the source artwork is available!

LogoSauce provides information on where source artwork can be found for each logo (provided users provide that info).

No Tag Cloud!

As we were designing LogoSauce we were sure we wanted some sort of tagging capability.

This is obvious for a site that is based on a community of users adding content. Tags are an obvious and standard way these days for categorizing information for later retrieval.

Most web 2.0 sites that you look at include some form of tagging. Read more…

How to: browse by tag

Sometimes you may want to browse logos by a particular tag – for example by the tag “purple”.

You can certainly search for the word “purple” and the search engine will find any logo that has been tagged “purple” but also amnything that has purple in the logo name, brand name or notes. Read more…
