say i develop a logo only for $1500 for a client...
do i the designer then suggest it be sold for $1500 or do I suggest it be sold for $3000also, this kind of work isn't identity branding or production planning either, it is simply take my logo and deface it all over your company with that kid you hired from craigslist

"iStock will pay a base royalty rate of 50% per logo design for the first 6 months"
So if someone buys your logo, you get 50% of the 100-750 credits. $5 is just for submitting it. Not great, but not a 22,000% markup;)

Overall though, I don't know this is such a hot idea. They think they can sell a stock logo for $700?
And you can't use commercial fonts?
If i were them I would try to move into the space Envato is in, Wordpress themes and Flash components.

How can 'stock' and 'logo' even be paired up? The concept makes no sense.
Isn't a logo meant to act as an identifier for your business, and more to the point, make your business distinct from others?
No self respecting business will buy a 'stock logo' for crap sake!
God forbid istockphoto ever go on Dragons Den!
- shaking hands is a concept that fits many businesses :)linearch

so it's still fair to say they stand to net a mil or two mil from the $50,000 - $100,000 investment though i'd think

um....so there are no royalties?
they're going to sell the logo for 1 time for 750 credits
so......essentially....I'm selling a logo for $5?
What am I .....a toothless, crack smoking 60 year old prostitute?
GET FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's about time to burn the goddamned istock building down.
- read the above explanation and get back to us.airey
- ahhhh...I can't be arsed
I'll just ignore i-stockmarychain - you get half the charged amount + $5 for the upload if you're in the first 10k.airey
- Are you seriously a 60 year old prostitute, must be if you can't even read what's been told to you above.photos4me

i am going to rip pentagram logo's and post them on there...
- typist0
i think it's a fair deal, you will get 50% of what they make
- freitag0
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?

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.

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
