Yep, I like the feel to this site. It is really appealing (choice of colors and motion of the text) and it made me want to check it out after seeing the demo. Whoever did the demo did an excellent job! Well done. :)
I was just about to post it myself.
Nice site and demo . . . nice service if you want a thoughtless clip-art logo. :rolleyes:
nice site, really hits the message home especially with that demo and the application itself looks great. You do it all online and get an EPS at the end, sweet!
not good news for logo designers though!
thats nice - i liked the demo bit alot
ya it was a great (and extensive) project to work on. I dont know the specifics on the backend but it is the best logo development system i've ever used. you develop your logo (up to four), give people a link to vote on it and then choose which one you want. it then makes an eps and jpg on the fly and sends it to you. the only stuff uploaded on the site is the original eps and an swf (for viewing on site). I have no idea how tony and the rest of the 2a team got that working, but its great.
And its so fun to make logos, lol
(in case you're wondering, I work for the company that hired 2a to develop it. I dont work at 2a)
Guess I wont be designing any logos in the future :(
disagree with this statement. while it isnt a "customized logo developed by a professional", it isnt clipart. Clipart isnt vector, you don't have as much flexibility (color change, rotate...the features of the logo development tools), and these are all professionally designed logos we had made. The only way it is related to clipart is that it isnt made especially for you, it is available to anyone who pays the $150 to get a logo. But, since the database contains about 20,000 symbols now (100,000 by next year) chances that somenoe else will use it are low. And the target market isnt people who need a unique logo, its for small businesses who just need a logo and dont want to mess with large design firms charging a ton of money and spending a long time developing a simple logo. This way you design exactly what you want, and if you dont find one you like you can request one and we'll make it for you.Quote:

In the future we plan to have an exclusive set of logos that once bought, will be taken out of database. These will be more expensive, fewer in number and more detail.
Great idea. Great site. Depressing for the logo designers out there who will be hoping that clients don't see this site.
Great little site. The front end looks very simple, like a weekend job, but once you realize the work that must have gone into the logo generator thingy... man it makes a difference. I mean eps file on-the-fly? How in the world (wide web)?
Flip.
Like the idea...
I charge $500 per brand. That includes 2 edits off of original design comp after conversation and provide a final vector format. It's a little more expensive to use me than this service but at least the client gets the interaction and personal input for direction.
This service will do well, but certainly will not put brand creators out of business.
I will go against a database anyday to create a customized brand the client has input on. I bet I can come out on top everytime.

Site's great. The form page is lust at first site.
Hmmm...
Now why would anyone, especially on the web, ask me for a credit card without telling me the price?
I found it! Price buried on the third page, bottom right, in the About Us blurb. How the two connect i have no clue. My guess is it should be on the account creation page as well, some viewers may not hang around for the hunt, and move on. Maybe the strat is to get you to read the whole pitch before seeing the number, which is not a bad strategy. But bring it around at the right time or you look like you're hiding it.
A little bug:
When you go from any section to the "let's get started" page, you cannot return directly to the section you visited last. The other buttons aren't being enabled when you hit the "get started" button.
That'll be $50 please. :)
price is all over the thing, on the front page, about us, in the demo... :)Quote:

not trying to replace you (as in brand creators in general). its targeting the small businesses who cant afford you. of course the professionals are better, but they cost moreQuote:

what browser are you using? all the one's we've tested it in, we havent run into that problem. the only problem i've noticed with not being able to get to pages is when you go to legal and then try to get back to your last page (it thinks you're still there).Quote:

i cant wait for some people to actually use the site and post their comments on it. its a little disappointing that almost all the site will only be seen by the 1% of people who actually pay and use the site. there's so much back there that no one gets to see.
isn't there a demo password :)Quote:

I bet there is...
theres a couple...:)
It's a nice flash site. I'm not too sold on how succesful it will be. Surprised to see the credit card submission without a https secure connection.
So what if i find my logo being one of the "sample images"
?
it isnt but many new images will be added you never know.
Yeah I understand. And if I am short on cash I am going to get a green factory burger from McDonalds. But if I want to make sure I have the highest quality beef and that I get it the exact way I want it I will go to the meat counter, hand pick the beef and grill it up on my grill.Quote:

I understand who the service is marketed to and I don't think logo designers have anything to worry about.

you're logos are pretty much exactly what that site has to offer, nothing more.
I don't think (human) logo designers have anyhting to worry about either.
Ultimately I think there are enough clients out there who won't trust the approach adopted by LogoYes. They'd much prefer to kick about some poor designer bod any day of the week, I reckon.
And I'm a little put out by the 'graphic designers (who must guess what you'll like)' statement - About Us page, bottom right.
Tut tut.
Not strictly accurate, if you ask me.
The movement in the Sample Logos section got really annoying after a short time.
Cool site and idea but I would be concerned about giving my credit card details on what appears to be a non secure server.

umm clip art can be vector... and just as easily manipulatedQuote:

No need to debate on clipart vs vector, or who can design better. Keeping on the subject, which is the website, this is definitely cool stuff.
It is a very good idea. My P3 667Mhz with 256MB on Firebird was causing the Flash to bottleneck. I think it's time to upgrade to a Mac.
That was NICE FUGGIN' WEBSITE. This is the flawlessly animated 2A product I know and love! NICE NICE NICE!
I am inspired... must go work... ahhh!
"you're logos are pretty much exactly what that site has to offer, nothing more."
Did No-Talent..I mean No-Tec just rip me.
Sorry to be rude. I usually ignore the typical poser, wise a@@ remarks but this warrants a reply. I haven't checked my posts in a while and saw this no-brain comment from a guy whose existing site is an Eric Jordan clone from 4 years ago (can't even keep up with the trend in rips...). If you havent noticed my "personal" site has not been updated in over 2 years and most of the brands, and anything else on the site for that matter, are mostly pro-bono work that I put together. Regardless, in no way does it deserve a nasty comment from a guy who has no qualifications to back them up, especially from someone who has awards listed in his news section that HE applied to get and everyone gets for knowing how to type on a keyboard...lol. I could do a UX Audit on your existing site and rip it to shreds with about 10 pages of needed comments and edits. But do I do it...no, because every designer has to find their way. Whether they are good or bad because it makes us better as professionals and as people. I would love for you to go up to an employee (know you do not have any but bear with me) and tell them the comp they just spent two days putting together for a client sucks...you would last about two days in business but thats why you are where you are. Anyway, I am not a rude person and usually do not waste my valuable time dealing with sub-bar designers with chips on their shoulders but once in a while you have to let it rip...;) No-Tec...a word of advice, focus on your work, strive to listen,learn and improve and you will one day "get it"...
On the splashpage it says over 200mghz pc, well im sitting in school at 1,6 and it lags not much but you can notice that it lags a bit. Shouldent they change it to maybe 600+ ? The site is nice, dont like the logos.
Staying on topic. The site is very well done, hits the points and really sells the product well. I think the demo is killer.
Slightly off topic. Their market is the guy who just wants something to put on letterhead and get on with business. Designers have nothing to fear from this company as these guys wouldn't pay for a personal design anyway, we'd never see their money so it's not loss.
Regarding clip-art: Since they have a finite number of "logos" and fonts it is, by definition, clip-art. That is, you pick one from column A and one from column B and Go! I don't think there's anything wrong with clip-art by the way, I've used it from time-to-time myself to get the job done. It looks like you've got a quality product, good luck.
Off-off topic: I don't think cheap shots are necessary.
That site is one of the greatest ideas I have seen in a while. I just love how 2A expands into many different medias. Great idea ant real nice design; however, it did lag a bit on my comp. I've got a 3.06GHz with a gig of ram, but then again, I had Premier, After Effects, and Encore running at the time. :D Anyway, great site and nice design. Go 2A! :doughnut:
Great site, no doubt. The logos are great too.
Although one thing sets the actual idea off. The logos dont brand the company, neither do provide a unique image. I am sure a respectable CEO will do anything to run into another company with the same logo, that both firms might have chosen from logoYes.
:p:D
yah but I don't think the company's using this service will have a CEO, they will have a guy who helps out on weekends, and maybe a couple of students during the summer.Quote:

Of course, totally agree. Some people think that you can just help out a student without having a logo first!Quote:

And without first incorporating yourself in the better business bureau!
Hehe, J/K.
:p
just thought i'd mention 2Advanced was approached with this project, they didn't suddenly decide to "expand into many different media." However, this was the first time something like this has ever been done and they did a great job of developing a system through which a business owner with little-to-no computer knowledge can create a great looking logo.Quote:

don't give them credit for coming up with the idea, give them credit for being able to approach and implement this idea better than most developers could have ever done. While Eric is great, most of the credit for this site should go to Tony since its built on such a great backend.
This is very old, but very good.
here here, let's all raise a glass to tony's wonderful backend.Quote:
