The Logo Factory has finally decided to get with the evolving and be awesomely innovative. As of today, we throw in our lot in with crowdsourced logo design contests. How awesome is that? Pretty darn awesome!
After tilting at windmills, resisting the tide and generally acting like snooty designers, we’re proud to announce that as of 12:01 am today, The Logo Factory will no longer be producing custom logo design work for our clients. 
Nor utilizing professional in-house designers (fired ‘em all). Instead, we’ll be launching a logo design contest and crowdsourcing platform that will offer designers and clients oodles of opportunity. To sell design stuff. And get stuff designed. And that’s just opportunity personified. A funnel of opportunity if you will.
Think of it as a 99LogosFactorySPRING. Or a HatchTourneyDesignMyWay. Maybe a BurstRocket. Even though this may sound just like those other design contest guys, it ain’t. Trust us. We’re a lot more innovative. Less snooty. More democratic. And our community is way more awesomer. Gonna change our name too. How’s The Contest Factory grab ya? Totally groovy! With over 52,000 satisfied clients and a community that’s 214,567 strong (whoops, 214,568) you might say we’re the Bestest Ever Creative Department in the Entire Fucking Universe. And we’re still in BETA. When we finally get around to ALPHA, look out.
Meanwhile, those no-spec guys can suck it.
So can that whiny bastard who used to run The Logo Factory. Fired him too.
(April Fools)

Oh great! That is my laughter tonic for today!! Loved it!
If i want a ripped logo is it still $29? Can i just pay you when my business takes off (it’s going to be as big as ebay)? I mean i’ve already got the idea so its really not much work for all of the designers
This is very exciting news! Just think of the opportunity for us designers! I can’t wait to submit all my best work. I hope I win!!!
You sir, are a hero to all.
Swoosh-o-licious AND spec-o-licious!!!
April Fool’s… good one!
Love it!
Totally brilliant…I wish I’d thought of this first! Oh, wait, it’s OK if I rip it off, right, in the spirit of design contests everywhere?
I’m on the fence on this. It really sounds like a good idea. I only have one question. Will doing these AWESOME projects get me some serious EXPOSURE because the clients will TOTALLY TELL EVERYONE how awesome I am? Exposure is like cocaine for designers, you know.
I really feel that these projects may be a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for me to do REAL client projects for some serious designer cred.
Just how the heck am I supposed to get work done today when there’s such entertaining content???
Swish-tacular– and in the immortal words of Dr. Sheldon Cooper– Bazinga!
ok ok, I’ll admit it, you got me… well played guys!
Thanks to everyone for playing along. Had a lot of fun with this. Glad you enjoyed too!
