I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

It's beyond me I'll have pay for a logo like this.... You can make an equally bad one in less than one minute.

That's actually a decent logo.

I think most of the not-so-good names are from 5l.coms.

To me this is a decent logo.

Please let me know your thoughts on this:

Logo

I'm not sure if I can sell the name with that logo.

I mean, really, really i can share a bunch of my constant Fiverr designers who are making much better logos than these ^^ , and only for $5.

I have some fiverr logos that I think are better as well, like these

When I had a first glance on your name, it looked like techaNy instead of techary. R looks like N

Right!

Though I'm not sure if I should be happy because it's one of the rare logos with black background.

I actually quite like it. Let's not forget that logos are a matter of taste.

In any case, I think very few customers will stay away from buying their favorite name just because they are not impressed by the logo.

I'm actually 50-50 on the impact of the logos. I only sold 2 names so far and the first buyer did not use the logo.

Maybe the answer is Fiverr logos get accepted. Whilst you wouldn't necessarily have a portfolio to show BB maybe they should relax this if you are providing logos through Fiverr, after all Fiverr logos are in most cases better than the average BB logo.

Every single week the staff at BrandBucket choose 150 or so names to be added to the New Listings email that is sent out to potential customers. The staff chooses these names based on some sort of criteria. You would think that criteria would be based on the domain alone but it's obvious that's just not true. Every single name on this list has a nice logo and not one has a crappy logo. So the names that stood out to the staff to be chosen for the newsletter are obviously ones that had a logo that caught their attention as part of the choosing process.
If the logo is designed to help the name stand out then your first focus group is obviously the staff from BB that chooses names for this list. They are proof that a good logo is a huge part of the selling process. Every single staff member chose a name that had a nice logo. It's obvious proof that a logo is a huge part in the choosing process. It is no different than a house being staged before it's sold or updating the landscape for better curb appeal. We are a society of what we see that sells us. The whole brandable marketplace was created by adding a nice logo to a mediocre name. Mediocre names normally won't sell unless we make that name look visually appealing. Branding is all around us and we choose companies, products, restaurants etc......all on branding. If it doesn't look good through our eyes then we won't buy it. That's a fact!

As someone with a fairly large portfolio on BB all I can add on the logo discussion is that I think some of you guys are seriously wasting energy worrying about how good or bad the logos are. So long as the human brain can quickly and easily distinguish what the logo says your good to go. If a business is willing to spend $2-3K on a domain there's really no reason for them but to spend $500-1K on a decent corporate identity.

Your time would be better spent auditing the keywords your names are tagged with IMO. Search results on BB are far more important than a subjective view of how ugly or pretty the temporary logo is.

Thanks! Its nice to know you agree that Vavogo and Zilenag 'has a nice logo'. These were two domains that were recently discussed.

Its important to remember that everyone has different taste/opinions. But its amazing to see the branding community come together to help make BrandBucket the most talked about, most viewed, and the most popular brandable market place year after year!

Cheers!

I got my second e-mail in three days from Khalan this afternoon.

Do you care to share the names? The last domain you shared in December had a fantastic logo. You claim you sold one with a "bad" logo? I'm curious as to just how "bad" this logo is?

 

[Grilled]

Zilenag 'has a nice logo'

The logo is so generic, you can't even remember what the actual domain is...

 

[Domainzy]

or I type fast....

 

[Grilled]

or I type fast....

Or your designers deign too fast. Zilenga took what, 5 minutes?

Errors happen. We understand this. But why have such strict protocols for fixing said errors?

 

[Grilled]

I'm done arguing against a brick wall. I'll return with pictures of every logo that sold this year.

 

[Simdes]

I have some fiverr logos that I think are better as well, like these

Can you pm me author's fiverr profiles, please...

Every single name on this list has a nice logo and not one has a crappy logo.

Just thinking about the same yesterday...

Who cares about 2 logos out of 150. Do you even understand the point? When names are chosen for the Featured Listing on BB are they chosen before the name has a logo or after? The names are chosen after the name has a logo. Why is it that the Featured Listings have better logos then the Recently Added? The obvious answer is because the BB staff chose names for the featured listing based on the quality of the logo and not the quality of the name. The name stood out to them because of the logo not the name. Same for a customer wanting to buy a name. The ones that catch the buyers eye most of the time are the ones that have better logos.

When @grilledjesus sold the Kid related name a couple of weeks ago the buyer wanted to make sure the logo was included in the sale. It even seemed like they didn't want the name unless the logo was included. That shows how important a good logo is in selling names.

Grilled J. listed 9 logos he was not totally happy with. Of those 9 logos, 2 of them were in the newsletter that you said has nice logos and not one is ugly. Hence the two Vavogo and Zilenga. (note the other 7 were of similar quality)

I have all my BB domains RANKED in a spreadsheet from my top #1, to my bottom. Not all my domains are equal, or the same price, or get the same traffic, or get an 'equally' artistic logo. Some things turn our better than others, thats just the way life is. BB has 800 sellers and most of them have never asked for 1 logo review. BB is always open to reviewing a logo if a seller is not happy. And BB is always open to reconsidering a domain submission.

But if they decline a domain or logo review for their marketpalce, I trust they understand their audience/customers. Lots of domain investors support themselves off of BB sales alone. Everyone has a different opinion(secret) for success.... apparently whatever BB's secret is, works.
