We made a few more updates recently.
- The manage tab now includes, purchased logos, store logos, contest logo and favorited logos.
- Subscribe button now appears on logos. You also have a subscribe tab on your account page to set preferences.
- Number of logos submitted to a contest are now shown on the Contests page.
- We now have the tag cloud back
- When you sell a logo you will receive the client's email.
- Pinterest button has been fixed and works. I encourage you to set-up a Pinterest account and share your work there. Very powerful.
and a various other small fixes not worth mentioning.
As always please let me know if you find bugs and/or feature requests.
We're currently working on getting a more correct views counter back on logos, reports to speed up contest winner payments, etc.

Will receive Email in xyz.com's inbox or i will be able to see email ID on sold logo .....as i am not able to see any email ID on sold logo page so asking
When you sell a logo you will get an email with the clients email so you can do the modifications right away. Thanks
Good job and now looks very good, I have had suggestions for features, if we can find out how much my logo and the logo anywhere on the favorite's by another designer and we can find out the designer Who is her favorite of my logo and it will be visible in each account, maybe this can be a little help for the Addition of features, Thanks.
We used to have this, but it created much discontent, so we removed it.
Will we eventually be able to delete contest logos after the contest is closed?
I'd like to see that implemented too. :)
Good question. My problem is we need to show future clients that many logos are posted to contests. If we allow deleting logos it would create the impression that the contests are not successful. I don't know how to solve this... Help! :)
Simple. Withdraw and the image is replaced by text "Withdrawn". This way the number of the submtions stay but if one wants to hide his entry he withdraws it.
Good solution. Thanks
Mostly I would just like to remove 'not liked' or 'off brief' – I can do it before the contest closes, but not after. Off-topic, but I find it very curious how many clients mark 'off brief' for logos that completely comply with their requests.
Well, yeah, this is something subjective. We can't really do much about that.
I am waiting for this update too:)
I see the competition has lowered their percentage by 10%. Must be doing something right here!
Seems good! I wonder though if there is any way to be able to see new comments on my own logos without having to go through the whole list with comments? Would be very helpful!
There already has "SUBSCRIBE" on each logo, even in contest logos!
Thanks for that Ivan!
So I should subscribe to all my own logos then?
Unfortunately should!
In most democratic countries there are already laws that require special consent to receive e-mail messages from third parties.
What are you referring to? Please explain! :)
He's reffering probably to antispam laws, although it's not very relevant in the case of stocklogos, because any user has always the possibility to subscribe/unsubscribe, so he's always in control, and that's what the European anti-spam laws basically aim at. So everything's OK. :)
Thanks, I'm glad. We have the same laws in the USA as well.
Yes, you can subscribe to your own logos one by one; that works well for already published logos. But for future logos, I recommend doing it automatically: Just go to your "My account" page and click on the "Subscriptions" tab. Then, under "Settings", check the "Auto-subscribe to new content" box under "Auto-subscribe". Make sure that you check "Yes" under "Delivery of notifications / Receive Notifications". Also, under "Preferences", you can choose how/when notifications are sent (Send interval, on updates, on comments).
Ok, thanks a lot!
Will we get counter offers any time soon?
Not soon. Sorry
Ivan, notification system in the contests does not work. I haven't got any e-mails for the feedback left from the client on my design.
Looks like the notification system does not work at all (not only in the contests), I don't receive any emails from the site.
Also, where is the subscription system? I can't find the subscribe button anywhere, and the subscription management in the profile is gone as well.
Ivan said it will be off temporary.
That's what I thought, there are probably some smaller problems that need fixing before reintroducing the subscription back online. :)
Is it working now?
How do you know if it works, is the subscription button supposed to change to "unsubscribe" once you have clicked it, or...? I can´t see anything happens when I click it.
When you click it a pop-up should come up. Does it not?
Nope. Nothing happens at all, except for the tiny "dots" around the button edges indicating I have clicked it, they are there until I click somewhere else, then they go away.
I tried the "Subscribe" button in all major browsers. It works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

On Internet Explorer 9, it didn't work; I got the bug described above by Artifolia.
Yes, that´s correct, I use Internet Explorer, not sure which version though... I guess I should use something else perhaps! ;)
Which version? I will fix.
Internet Explorer 9.
Ivan, a couple of things I've noticed today:
1) It seems that the logos present in the "Similar Logos" section are not randomized anymore (they used to be). So the relevant logos are shown in chronological order with the oldest first. As you can see on these nine resized screen captures of blue logos, the same six "Similar Logos" appear every time:
http://img77.xooimage.com/files/e/c/a/similar-36000c1.jpg
2) Also, if a user selects a logo category (taxonomy-vocabulary-1), but he/she doesn't enter any logo tags (taxonomy-vocabulary-2), then no "Similar Logos" are shown, here are two examples (as of today):
http://stocklogos.com/logo/swantown
http://stocklogos.com/logo/music-9
Peace,
Spintherism.
On the first one, we're searching a better solution than randomized as the RND function is too expensive on the server.
On the second option we can't do much. Without tags we can't show similar logos. Designers must add tags. Right now I'm adding them most of the time.
About users not entering tags... Right now, on the create logo page, some fields are required (red asterisk). Couldn't you make the "logo tags" field a required one?
Yes, good.
Hey, maybe you can fix this, if a contest is blind, you can't see other entries, only yours, and you can't see who participate on the contest either, but if you click on the contest holder "track" link, you can see all the entries from other participants he left comments for (you can't see the comments), only by clicking their names.
Thank you!
Razvan
Yes, will fix asap. Sorry!
When will we be able to: Delete / Withdrawn or Eliminate The contest logos ???
Hi Ivan,
I have a strange feeling of that someone has steeling my idea.
On ostensibly blind contest I upload this logo (Sat, 06/30/2012 - 14:29): -links removed-
The same concept i can see uploaded on 07/02/2012 from the user profile #3660.
If that was a non-blind contest I have the full rights to ask him to pull down this. But the contest is not visible, and I can't to blame him for copying my idea, although I'm sure is because this particular user first mention of this anomaly - every one can see all user logos in hims profile, even the "blind" proposals.
PLEASE! Make the blind contest logos invisible in any user profile.
Thanks,
paint.box

Blind contest logos should be invisible everywhere, including the user's profile.
Yes, I agree to it.
As you said i was the first who pointed it so don't think take advantage with it It offences me.
These are mine logos. I can't agree that i have copied your logo. They are different. For the first i joined the midell line of the A letter with the shorter one in the F letter. The rest of the designs are result of client's feedback with some requests. I won't be surprised if at the end of the contest when all designs will be visible there will be very similarities bevause the requestof the client is working on A and F letters. And how did you get the full size of the images? If you are a moderator this should be clear for the rest of us here. Also if you think that combining two letter is a concept you're wrong. So in this case we should look for very similar execution. I already googled such designs to see what to avoid.
And thank you for sharing my work with other participants while the contest is still open. Next time first think! You could've contaced Ivan and me privately. Unbelievable.
Actually this makes me so pissed off. What kind of idiot you gotta be to show my work when the CONTEST IS BLIND AND NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO SEE OTHERS' WORK. You could've just put the links for admin to check. Really pissed off. I don't a s... if my design will be copied now, it's the principle. It's a competition but you gotta have respect to others' work, you know. So pissed of.
I removed the links. Sorry
Thank you!
In this particular case I don't think it's copied. It's a different structure and it's kinda evident that you arrive to this solution. But I agree we should hide them. It's already done, will put it live shortly.
Thank you!
I don't understand this, how come every time I upload a new design, it is not on the home page. I receive the notification that my logo was approved for sale, and if in the next second I check the website, the logo is not on the home page, but on the 2nd or 3rd page. I see some designs from other users shown in front of my design , even though they were accessible few hours earlier than my logo.
Thank you!
Razvan
Did you edit your logo at any point? Every edit will bring said logo to the end of the publishing queue, but it will keep its original position. See this thread: http://stocklogos.com/topic/publishing-order-open-briefs
Nope, not at all!
Will we be able to search forum subjects anytime soon? It would be nice to find a thread without having to scroll through pages of links or start redundant threads just because it's easier.
I agree, that would be great!
