Logos

[shorterwinters]

Question regarding logos.

Do you find making logos helps sell your name?
I saw this brought up in a previous thread and it has made me wonder.

I am wondering if I make a logo for a name that can be a brandable or used for anythng if I am possibly inhibiting the potential for the name with my vision. Perhaps the potential has been diluted as someone is seeing my vision and possibly turned off and not allowing them to see their vision. Perhaps it jumpstarts their vision as well and they can overlook my logo or vision.

If it is a name that can be used for a brand I can see this as a possibility. I can also see it possibly being helpful as well. I know it depends on how good the logo is and it can be very subjective.

If I was to make a logo for rhinosforsale I think that could be helpful and someone can look past my logo pretty easy if they wanted to but if I was to make a logo for starqizco that would possibly be inhibiting the potential? (not that starqizco has any potential)

Obviously brandbucket and other places see this as an asset but many brandbucket rejected names have been sold for far more than they would have gone for there and I also think some have been sold on brandbucket that perhaps would not have been sold otherwise.

Any thoughts?

Doubt it. Most people who buy them to develop the website will not use your logo, but rather their own one.

I agree with that. I don't like most of the logos that people create, and I think they would be better off using flaming text to create a fancy text string. It's free and quick as well. Paying $150 to brand bucket for a logo that won't be used puts me off using the service.

It is a great idea but the logo won't be of much use for the person buying the domain. It can help promote the theme or the template but since every business has unique needs, dedicating time to design a logo will not be a good idea.

It can add some spice to an akward name, or to a name it would be difficult for others to envision.

Happy to give you an example below.

Alot of people might think of it as 5 random letters. But imo it is a good brandable in a very strong market. I created a simple logo for better visualization.
