^^ 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

got this too, bit pricy I can get a silverlight template on template mobster for $50 complete with an animated logo. Of course it's not a spinning logo like johnny revolution can do but.......... goes to kill self...

WTF!

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.

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.

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

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

^ 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?

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

Since when did the design process start with a finished solution and end when someone with a brief finds it?
It's not exciting or rad, it's another nail in the coffin of proper design and a load of fucking wank.

It seems like a copyright nightmare...and what's to stop someone from just ripping a logo off there anyway?
I see a logo I like, do I
a) pay $700 to buy it
b) just copy the concept and add my company name
- marychain0
on second thought.....airey's right
I'm having a garage sale on old unused logo ideas
I'd laugh my ass off if someone bought some of my crappier ideas
I'll never do it......but it would be funny to see someone pay $700 for a throwaway idea.

i also bet that at least half of you are going to upload logo's there now.. the place is going to be flooded. and how can they ever check on the fonts?
