LogoPond

Brilliant logotype, Bojan. Now, let's get this site active. :-)

I think I've seen this before.... just kidding ;)

very cool logo and concept, can't wait to see the site.

Great idea, Great job!

Fantastic idea.

Shot in target!!!

OK I see your point tonfue this concept was done before so many times that it's even hard to imagine how many times!
I appreciate your appeal to designers to get more inspiration from everyday world around us then logo sharing sites because that leads to more original staff but even if the idea is not super original logoholik's execution is 100%.

/I'm sorry if this will bore or annoy somebody/

maybe I'm being idealistic, but I'm hoping the idea, logo and website really make a difference. once less rip is still one less.

I don't know what's going on between Bojan and Toni. I'm not sure if it was clearly stated what was going to come from this logo, but if a site is created that spots or identifies rippers, hope it's up and running soon. I personally like the initiative and the logo.

And I'm fairly sure you deserved his "smart ass reply". ;-)

While I understand the frustration, I have to agree a bit with Toni here. Setting up this site will likely be a waste of time for a few reasons. The first and most major one is that while you think you are outing these people, you aren't really outing them. Being that most of their "design" work is done on logo contests, their work is done anonymously. You're not destroying their name by any means, just one of their maybe several usernames. Even if a site were to punish them by banning their IP address, it's an incredibly easy ban to get around.

Another thing to think about is who is going to be visiting this site? It's certainly not going to be people who are looking to get a logo design done, so who are you outing these people to? Other designers? What's the point? We all know that there are design thieves out there and there will continue to be thieves out there. The best way to stop someone from stealing your work is to report it to the webhost or to the site owner, not to put the rip up on a pointless forum.

As far as the logo goes, I wouldn't call it particularly original. I like that you tried to make it more so by having the horizontal bar used as part of the letters, but overall it is just "meh" to me. In all honesty, I think your time would be better spent focusing on producing your own original work and not hunting witches. If you see a rip, report it where it actually serves a point to do so -- the source.

from my perspective, i see a lot of people spotting rippers on logopond, letting the designer know their logo was ripped, and then action is taken by that designer. but that's not what logopond's focus is, so having a site dedicated for that can't be all that bad. hey it's worth a shot IMO.

@ Toni, i read most of your comments as honest and having the best intentions, but I can understand how people can see it as arrogant or rude. i knew a professor who shared his thoughts the same way. everyone thought he was an ass. but he actually helped prepare people for the real world honesty that is out there. with that said, i think you did show some personal frustration in your critiques above, but you saw how that differed from your normal critiques (with Kevin's help), so I say no worries and let's just move on :)
