Do you have any spare, unused logo designs lying around on your computer? I know I do. I was surfing the net last night and came across a great idea that allows designers to sell their unused logo designs and make pretty good money from doing so. The idea I’m talking about is called Brandstack and it is basically a brand marketplace.
When you design a logo for a client you often have a bunch of great logo design concepts left over. Your client can obviously only choose one logo design for their business. So what happens to the rest of your logos? Well mine usually end up gathering dust sitting on my computer.
Brandstack allows you to sign up for free and upload your logo designs to their brand marketplace for businesses to buy. You can even package your logo design with the corresponding domain name to make it more enticing to businesses. Best of all, you set the price and receive 85% commission on sales made. It’s a great idea for designers to make the most of their unused logos and an even better idea for businesses looking for a brand.
So how does it work?
Basically you sign up for a free account and you’ll be taken to your profile page. Once you fill out a few details you can then post your logo designs on the site by filling out a simple form. Enter your brand name, a category for your brand along with a brief description. Then upload your logo vector file and you’re good to go. You can even purchase the corresponding domain name to package it with your logo as a complete brand ready to sell. Logo submissions are moderated for quality so make sure you create your logo the right way.
Best of luck selling your brands!

That sounds like an awesome idea. Can you describe your experience with the service?
Yeh, it’s not a bad idea. I signed up to have a play with the website and it seems to be pretty straightforward. A friend of mine actually bought a brand from them without any hassles. Some of the brands up there now are actually pretty good. Especially if the domain name is included. It’s hard to get a hold of good domain names these days. I guess it’s another option for designers to use other than 99designs.com or designcrowd.com 🙂
Great post Cre8ive Commando. I am looking for others who would like to showcase the best of their unused logos on my blog at http://jeremybolton.com/2010/05/unused-logos-call-for-submissions/
Would love to find some creative types who want to show off logos that never made it off the ground.
Best of luck Jeremy. I tweeted your message so hopefully you’ll get some designers sending through their long lost logo designs 🙂
This is idea is really great for selling unused logos in proper way, which is very worthy for the person who involved logo design work. The logo designer definitely appreciates this idea.
