I just uploaded all my logos, plus marychain and utopian's logos. Waiting for the account balance to start increasing...

^ absolutely nothing.
In addition, there's nothing stopping shady designers from uploading other's work. It's going to be trivial for for someone to scrape logopond and your portfolio for some logos to upload. iStock has the gigantic responsbility of vetting each and every logo for copyright infringement...which they won't do. Because you CAN'T do a thorough job for 50% of 750 dollars.
I'm curious how they'll handle the trademark search. If it comes back taken, do they get their money back? is the designer on the hook for losses?

Exactly, and how do you access trademark in this case? It becomes practically meaningless unless you have the resources to sue someone over it.

Who's got that "The idiots are winning" graphic? Seems applicable here.

i am assuming they have some sort of "image recognition" intelligence software hooked up to all the major image search and logo databases.
this technology already exists. so it is not that hard to find similarities.
it's all computed.

this is a great move. All those people who make failed logos on crowdspring can now recoup some of the losses. They should partner with crowdspring if they haven't yet.

why do we always get ass raped by these companies?!!

^^ agree with Point5, if you've ever taken a look at the istock forum you'll know why istock likes bending over it's contributors every announcement they make is greeted by "how exciting!" "great, can't wait" no-one ever thinks to ask if they can go on top this time, just for once

Their profits and stock (GettyImages) has been in free fall, stock fell about 75% before they were bought by an equity firm last year. So it's probably time to throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks...
