$4k for a logo to put on a website that looks like that? I hope this thread makes a fantastic case study for others. There are small businesses out there that are generating revenue, making profits, and wouldn't blow that money on a logo. This should have come in later when improving your brand image as part of some marketing initiative.

I must ask..What do you do for a living?I mean, in all honesty, you look like a gardener trying to build a spaceship. You have no idea what you're doing.If it was a contest how come you paid for the package?

You paid over $4k for a logo and you don't know what to do with $3k? Oh boy.. I'd say spend them all on a bullish equity and get a good ol' day job

The logo is arguably the least important part of your business, especially in terms of prioritizing the sequence of necessary investments. You should not be spending so much money on design this early.

Our entire cash outlay, pre-revenue, not including founders time, was about £1,000. We bought a VM, a domain name, a copy of Flash to build an little interactive game our domain required and paid some admin fees on content we acquired.

We made up our first logo, 10 minutes in Photoshop—it was as ugly as sin but it didn't matter.

We lived with a VM because there was going to be no load on our servers until we had traffic.

The really expensive bit was the time me and my co-founder put in. To a degree, if you don't factor lifestyle (and you should), we're still recouping that.

The logo is not equal. I think that it was not copied. Your logo has rounded sides, but the bank's logo has vertical sides with rounded corners. Maybe it was only an honest similar design based on the letter S. Anyway it's too similar and it can make the bank's layers unhappy. (But in this moment, the logo is not your biggest problem.)
