Hi Folks,
You’ve been very patient waiting for the release of the long awaited V2.
Well we’re finally almost ready. We plan to announce the release date in a couple of days (just finalizing our migration plan). The migration is a bit of a mission, because we need to preserve all the logos, profiles and related comments and votes. Read more…
A user raises an interesting question about whether it is appropriate to upload stationery mockups with logo designs. Read more…
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.
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.

We have two roles to fill at Logosauce. We’re looking for another Ruby on Rails developer to work on our products (Logosauce included) and we’re looking for a front end web/graphic/designer/mac operator. Read more…
In v2 we’re adding a new Activity log to the home page. You can also get this as an RSS feed to help you stay up to date with what’s going on on the site.
You can then link off to a logo, a competition, a designers profile page, etc. Read more…
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…
The Logosauce team wishes you a very very Merry Christmas. We trust you endured a tough year for many and we look forward to a fabulous 2010.

Looks like we had an unscheduled outage last night. Please accept our apologies. All good now. Read more…

We’ve considered having a For Sale section on the new Logosauce. What do you think? Read more…
Attorneys for Apple have begun a legal response against the largest supermarket chain in Australia over a logo the electronics company says is too similar to its own iconic trademark.

Just made a number of competition payments today to about 20 comps.
Congrats to everyone involved. Read more…
I recently received some questions from a new potential client. I thought it would be useful to post my response in the event that anyone want to comment or in the future a new prospective client searches the blog. Read more…
Is this competition the first in what could be many petroleum industry rebrands on Logosauce.
I guess BP (British Petroleum to Beyond Petroleum) is the famous energy business re-brand case-study that I’m sure most of you will have heard about.

It’s always great to get positive feedback.
Marshall from Maverick Productions recently ran a logo design competition. The comp was won by regular Santesa2. Marshall sent Logosauce an email, which we thought was great. Marshall was happy for us to display it here on the blog. Read more…
We’ve had a another design competition recently that has caused concern to designers because the winning design was from a new designer with just one entry (the winning design). Not only that but it was clearly a poor design choice with many of the competing designs far superior. Read more…
After reading a lot of feedback over some time, it seems obvious that many users are unhappy with the number of views a logo receives as counting towards a logo’s score. I also know that many new users misunderstand the scoring when they first join – so we’re going to make a change. Read more…
Ok here’s your chance to let rip. Any idea big or small new or old, borrowed or copied.
If you have a great idea on ways to improve Logosauce for designers, clients and others that is sensible and doable, let us and the community know with a comment. Read more…
Foreign language versions for non-english speaking users.
We’re rewriting Logosauce on the latest version of Ruby on Rails. One of the neat features of the framework now is Localization. Essentially we’re building the core application to handle localized content.
