Outage 3Sep1010
We had a major outage starting Friday that took a long time to fix. We had to reindex the entire site sort out a bunch of other stuff.
This has been caused partly because we’re running v2 alpha on the same server and this is tying up resources.
Please accept our apologies for the outage – it was a major one – probably the worst we’ve had.
We’ve automatically extended any competition that was ending during that period. Read more…

Logosauce users mapped
Just looking at our Google stats for the last 12 months. Love the map overlay that shows Logosauce users come from all over the globe.
Just over half a million visits from 11,186 cities (is there that many?). Check out the map to see if you’re in there somewhere.
It's interesting what you find when you look
I was helping out a new user this morning and noticed a member I hadn’t seen before.
Nice to see our friends at 99Designs keeping an eye on what we’re up to.

Sneak Peek - Activity

Sneak Peek - Scoring
One of the new features is that scoring now works differently.
The number of views a logo get is now no longer counted as part of a logo’s score (and therefore does not contribute towards a designers overall score).
Secondly we’ve removed the negative scoring of a 1 bottle vote. Now we’ve simplified scoring as follows. Read more…
