Show HN: I Made a Logo Marketplace

I trust you check your logos against the body of existing logotypes.

Due diligence and non-encroaching on other designers' work is a sizeable part of regular logo design process. Lots of good ideas and concepts are routinely rejected because they happen to be taken. That's one of the reasons why logos don't normally go at $5 a pop and why they can in fact be used without a risk of being slapped with a C&D for copyright violation.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm not encroaching on anyone's work.

That's a very brazen or utterly naive attitude.

You can't possibly know that you don't encroach. Part of the package of being a professional logo designer is knowing the field. They literally know hundreds if not thousands of existing logos. There are books and references dedicated to finding dupes. This is a very important aspect of the logo design and ignoring it is an extremely unwise thing to do.

With your process you are guaranteed to generate a logo that will look like a blatant derivative or a verbatim copy of existing work. Consider what will happen next.

You sure are making a lot of assumptions about my process.

Yep, especially with all the orange in my logo you have linked.

It's not a serious B2B effort. It's just a way to collect some money from individuals who want to slap a graphic on their GitHub project or their lawnmowing service.
