I hear you and thank you for your feedback. I truly appreciate the value of branding and design, but this wasn't a random choice.
The reason why I went with 99designs, is that I'd like to avoid making a big investment upfront. Instead I'd like to build a minimum viable product (MVP) and use a "placeholder logo".
If the site manages to demonstrate its value and take off (perhaps despite its logo), then I'll be certainty more willing to invest in its branding and design by assigning the redesign to a professional firm.
It's a compromise, and not an uncommon one at that. But I fully understand if you consider it a mistake.
- keeptrying 15y agoI also dont like the cloud logo only becuase it would make me ignore your blog if I saw it. Ie a negative connotation. In fact I think no logo is better a better starting point for a blog. I dont even know what the techcrunch logo is. In your situation I would start with "StartupDream" written in a legible but non-boring font and start working on content. People read a blog because of its content. So focus on content content content.
