YC should fund a start up that designs logos.


There are more than 20 of those in any major metro area.


And copywriting.


Or just get someone on comp.lang.lisp to design a logo, merely by suggestion, as I did in 2006 - for Lisp.


There's a lisp logo?


Thats the idea I am applying with - hopefully you don't encourage any competition!


That would provide great return on investment.


Best of luck to all the groups presenting their work today.


Frogmetrics reminds me of the little "evaluate my work" devices at the customs inspection stations in Chinese airports-- five buttons, each with a smiley (or frowny) face, with helpful captions like "inspection time too long" and "extremely satisfied".


They have those at most grocery stores now. Or, at least the ones I go to. "Was your cashier friendly today?" "Was your store clean today?"


Good luck guys - don't forget that its a marathon, not a race!


RE: Job Alchemist - their homepage copy is impressive and persuasive. Thanks for the template :)


job syndicate is great - but jobalchemist.com could use a bit of SEO :p


I meant Job Alchemist's product homepages: startuply.com and jobsyndicate.com :)


Thanks! Job Alchemist is just a little sparse - for right now we just need a site that starts to build the parent brand.


most of those logos look so similar, are they using the same designer?


Most logos on the web look similar.

Those are just put next to each other.


Most of the design is done by the groups, but sometimes outside consulting is done for 'touch-ups.' At least that is my understanding.


I am very curious about Snipd, is there more information available? Any chance for an alpha invite? :)
