This one shouldn't take NancyC long to find: http://stocklogos.com/logo/amish
That one made me suspicious when it first appeared, but i've been unable to locate a source.
Best thread ever!!! ;)

The whole portfolio is atrocious...
Whaddaya talkin about? $400 is a bargain for such style ;).
It's not getting any better, neither:
http://stocklogos.com/logo/dancer-0
It's an outrageous price - especially with that font 'choice' but don't think that it should be deleted for quality reasons!? IMO ;)
isnt a logo in my eyes:
http://stocklogos.com/logo/green-company
I disagree. It meets a certain standard in my opinion.

Out of interest, has anyone see the highlighted keywords/links which link to a 'customer survey/win an ipad' page?
Can't tell if it is a spam thing or admin are doing it. Not sure how or why a spammer or admin would or could do this :/.
The links appeared in the description of one of my logos too, but they were gone within a day...
Wow my comment above has just had a link added to the word 'ipad' haha. Looks like a spam virus...
That is not normal; I do not see that behavior in any of my browsers. Check your system for malicious software. Also, check your browser and uninstall any weird toolbar and/or plug-in.
Peace,
Spintherism.
Yeah i'm doing a malwarebytes scan now. I'm the biggest hater of toolbars and all that shite.
Also the word 'weird' has a link to the ipad thingy on your reply - which is weird haha.
It's not happening in Chrome, so maybe it's an issue with my firefox, or my user account (I'm never signed in with Chrome).
Gah, during a Malwarebytes scan, AVG popped up with some Firefox related malicious code, and now all seems well.

This whole portfolio should be deleted, none of these drawings can be called a logo... http://stocklogos.com/user/kdm715
Did Stock Logos used to decide if logos were acceptable? I think they did? What happened?
http://stocklogos.com/logo/weight-loss
awful typo, and very badly drawn graphic part.
http://stocklogos.com/logo/blue-fish-design-0
some parts of this logo are waaaay too thin to be printable on at a small scale. Also, the use of a huge gradient on the background doesn't do any good to the logo's versatility..
basically all this portfolio is full of bad stuff... http://stocklogos.com/user/borriello
http://stocklogos.com/logo/chemistrylab lines are too thin for print/small size use, the overall logo presents little to no value. Overpriced (IMO)...
http://stocklogos.com/logo/brainsynapses poorly drawn (traced?) brain shape
http://stocklogos.com/logo/randomix little to no value, the R letter is taken from a standard font
http://stocklogos.com/logo/optical-solutions waaay overpriced, for a logo made of an existing font.

I actually don't mind that one so much.
http://stocklogos.com/logo/green-tree-4 typo error, and little to no value as a logo.
http://stocklogos.com/logo/sun-twest
It's not that bad!
http://stocklogos.com/logo/evil-geek
Spelling is the most BASIC of standards and thus any logos with a typo should be deleted immediately imo. I wouldn't hire a designer who was sloppy enough not to check their artwork thoroughly enough to let bad spelling and grammar to slip through the net.
Molumen, you're on fire. I agree with all your picks. We need more strict control over logos like these. And I assure you that there are many many more floating around the site.
Ivan, are you keeping an eye on this thread?
The question of establishing a more thorough quality control came up several times over the last couple of years, and I did what I could (I created the first forum post inviting designers to check for clipart logos).
Filtering bad logos is a must, specially now when there are thousands of logos available on stocklogos. Ivan does what he can, but I understand that it's a huge task for one person, so we all should get a little involved in
What I think of now, is creating some sort of extended checklist that should help non-professional designers understand WHAT IS A LOGO'S PURPOSE, what are a logo's TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS and HOW TO AVOID COMMON ERRORS.
That could partially solve some common problems like the use of too much gradients, or the impossibility to use a logo at small (like on a credit card) sizes because of the heavy use of hairlines, etc...
Of course that would not help resolving the situation with shitty logos created by people that came here for (what seems to them) a quick buck, so we have to filter those manually anyway. But having an extended checklist with common design logo principles is IMO a nice idea.
What do you all people think?
Ivan, is it OK if I create a forum thread, so we can all discuss the creation of an extended checklist (with examples) that could be eventually added to the submit guidelines of the site?
I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but what do you think of establishing a new admission system where every new person that signs up has to have their application and portfolio reviewed before being allowed to contribute to the logo store? Ivan can review those applications, and he also can appoint a few experienced designers to help him determine whether a person can become a StockLogos contributor...
Personally I think that would be very useful. A way to stop people who don't have a clue of what a good logo is from coming in and adding logos that need to be deleted for a lack of quality. Maybe some ugly ass logos would still trickle in, but not as many as right now.

Here's what could be done - when one registers he specifies what kind of account he creates - looking to purchase designs and not able to upload logos and designer. The second one should provide folio with at least 30 designs and then the admin decides if he'll be allowed to upload work here. And new users won't be able to participate in contests until they have 30 logos uploaded to the store. I think this way the quality will improve.
Perhaps for new applications, 10-12 logos could be enough to show a person's abilities and style (and taste).
Umm, come on...

What must the client think when he/she sees this type of submissions?...
Wow
yep, these are pretty bad logos, I'd request my money back if I was the client... Contest logotypes should really be moderated...
cropping image,,,, I do not see this as logo,,

iam with you zillo, but it made me smile ,D
Ahahah, that's awesome :D
Honestly?
http://stocklogos.com/logo/bob-veterinarian
http://stocklogos.com/user/neradi
not that bad in my eyes .\
And there's this one... http://stocklogos.com/logo/bla-bla-womens-blog
WOW. That entire portfolio should be nuked. The prospective clients on this site deserve some RESPECT. Them, and designers who actually have some quality work and a bit of skill under their belt.
I don't even get what that's supposed to be.
I'm afraid to know...
http://stocklogos.com/logo/daulphin-power
I don't know what's most terrible about this logo: its ugliness, the fact that it's name is "daulphin" instead of "dolphin", or the fact that it has a type error and actually says "dauphin" without the "L"...
...or probably it's because user Pakri wants $296 for it.
very inconsistent portfolio too
I won't comment on the design... But it seems to me that this user is francophone. He/she used the French word "dauphin" (dolphin) in the logo itself, but then made a typo while trying to anglicize the title. He/she had also used other French words in other logos: "beau" (handsome, fine) in the beautree logo and a play on the word "bisou" (small kiss) in the beesou logo.
http://stocklogos.com/logo/mother-and-daughter
Please kill me...
Seriously. I'm usually pretty tolerant, but some of this stuff is just too awful.
This thread is depressing, but I cannot stop looking...
I hear ya.
One question arises: is there a minimum quality level that an entry has to achieve in order to be published? From what I remember from the first months of the site, there used to be one. But from what I see in this thread, even the worst stuff that can hardly be called a logo is being released to the repository (and I don't even speak of the completely unmoderated contest logos). I am simply afraid that stocklogos is on the way of becoming a messy library of questionable quality logos. And that will IMO push away potential buyers and designers...
Agreed.
I had, in the earlier days 2 logos kicked back at me respectively, I accepted it and moved on, but now there seems to be some refridgerator art in here and it's embarrasing to think that the customer is thinking the same thing. I would be scratching my head if I was the customer. Maybe it all plays out positively but it sure can be a distraction.
http://stocklogos.com/contest/sample-outlet-store-sos/112069
wow
What do you think about this ?
http://stocklogos.com/logo/fish-transport
I don't mind it so much.
Yeah. It's pretty decent :)
I love this logo! I have considered buying it several times!
i wont stop you .)
Ivan, time to do some cleanup on the above logos.
I got the feeling that Ivan isn't paying much attention to this thread, even though he himself told us to keep pointing out the bad logos :/
