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.

ok obviously not but someone's got a helluva job now going through the vector libraries and figuring out what's an icon and what's a logo.
seriously how are they going to create a $695 divide between generic icon and a generic logo?

I think I'm starting to change my mind on this one. It sets a decent price floor for 'just a logo' work.
750 istock credits would cost me ~$1,100 CAD today. I can now point to iStock and say: "sure you can get a 'stock' logo for $1,100 bucks, but I can do you one /custom/ for about the same price."
that's decent money for 'just a logo' with no additional input for branding/application, and 1 round of revisions as per iStock's scheme. It also opens up the opportunity to expand the scope of work beyond 'just a logo' and thus increase your billings.
Still have my misgivings about iStock colllecting commisions on potentially stolen work. Interested to see how they deal with that.

^ 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?
- ukit0
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.
