I really love SimpleGeos logos, but I have never grokked what problem they really solve for the user, but I totally get what urban airship solves. I've done a couple of app project with geo data but I don't see any benefit of having that part as a separate service.

This is such fantastic logo and identity design work: http://softfacade.com/simplegeo.html

Thanks for posting this link! I've always wondered who designed the beautiful icons on their pages, and it's even more remarkable to see them in high-res.

They charge like $30k+ for website design - they better be good. SimpleGeo made someone money - a web design firm!

SoftFacade didn't design the SimpleGeo website, I did :)

Could you post your contact info on your HN profile, so I can get in touch with you?

Ok - the icons cost a lot though I'm sure ;-).

Ha, that's why I love HN!

I have that sticker on my laptop, it started so many conversations when I'm coding in a cafe.... http://twitpic.com/86jy4y

Though I guess now it's a very different story to tell, compared to less then a year ago when I was hanging out with the SimpleGeo guys, it still going full speed ahead.
