The idea here is that if you're not happy with it you can re-submit (there's no official limit on the number of times you can request the same logo) and see what happens - Also you can get creative with tags (i.e. #as_previous_design #no_blue #etc) - being free it won't cost you. You might wanna give it a shot :-)

if you're lucky

I believe you summarize perfectly the main differences.

I may add that as you correctly point out we don't wanna be better than the others or steal their customers, we're just different - since there's no service which does exactly what we do (good or bad, your pick).

We ideally offer a conceptually different service, covering needs (as said in some other comment around) of a category of people who are craving for results and don't wanna bother with revisions and complicated workflows.

Or at least that's the idea :-)

Your point is perfectly understandable and certainly represents a wide slice of the market - which happens not to be the slice of the market we are ideally targeting.

We don't want to steal customers from logoworks, 99designs or other similar (very useful & well thought) services; we are trying something new here, pursuing an experimental approach to logo design, limiting to an extreme the user input in order to force the customer to get creative with tags - which could open the door to hopefully surprising results from our designers. That's the deed - if you're not quite happy you roll the dice and go again if you want, it's free.

Along the lines of the stir-fried culinary metaphor, we'd like to offer quality stuff on-the-go. This comes from the need of a category of people (and you can pull myself in) who don't wanna bother going through revisions and all that jazz.

This might not be the right service for you, and we won't try to convince you otherwise. If you're craving for Chinese take-away you won't go to the French restaurant. If you need a twitter account you won't get yourself a blog. And so forth.

Said so, your feedback and ideas are certainly constructive and valuable - thanks!

P.S. The video is known problem (thanks for pointing out). You not liking the logos in the slideshow ... given the subjectivity of the topic it's bound to be a discussion with no end! :-)

spot on, very good points - at current stage we have discussions going on the exact topics you cover. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

ahah - I believe you're right

you're right - being developed in GWT the site is completely javascript dependent. The problem seems to be that with javascript disabled you're still getting the content in somewhat of a mangled form --> you shouldn't be getting any content (just a message), this is obviously not working.

On performance - it's laoding up pretty good on all the browser we've tested, then again we didn't test on any of the environment you refer to, which makes your feedback much appreciated. Thanks!

point taken - that is a common pain point. thanks for the honesty

For now (just released the first beta) we only have a slideshow on the home page - we're working on a gallery though as it's definitely needed.

Good luck with your logo! :)

glad to know it was fun to browse around :)

At the moment this is not possible but you do raise a great point - we were not thinking about licensing in these terms.

It's definitely great feedback and something to seriously think about - thanks!

at the moment there's a slideshow of logos on the home page - but I do get your point, there's gonna a be gallery we'll roll out on future iterations

Would the Wokhei Limited License cover your needs? You can use the logo for free as is as long as you credit Wokhei.

That's why the word virtually is there :-)

Anyway being this a beta release that's exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for - definitely something worth looking into - thanks!

will do :)

interesting opinion - thanks for your feedback. The 'stir fried logos' tag-line was added to make it a bit more catchy, but I am not behind those choices - also looking for usability feedback ( http://wokheisandbox.appspot.com/ it's a testing sandbox so you can try and submit fake orders)

that's just the sandbox (http://wokheisandbox.appspot.com/) - domain is --> www.wokhei.com - but you won't be able to log-in just yet as still undergoing testing
