this guy is going to singlehandedly kill the design industry? yeah right.

but at $10, he's scaring the hell out of his competition. Let him sell his logos for $10, there will always be a market for people who want "Ruth's Chris" over "Burger King". and typical UNIQUE logos go for far more than $1000. If you guys venture outside the world of adult, dive into mainstream, you can sell your logos for $10k-$50k. Maybe this guy needs to put food on his table and pay his bills, so if $10 is the best way for him to do that now, don't stoop/rise to his level. or counter his offer with the same price but throw in extra quality. compete with your competition, don't whine. You think it's an accident that every fast food burger restaurant has a 99 cent menu? It's called competition. Once Wendy's started it, everyone HAD to follow or be left behind. And yet, everyone survived and Wendy's still sells $4 burgers all the time. damn, now I'm hungry.

if you don't like his price point then use it against him by stressing to your clients the benefits of NOT having a $10 logo. Logos are for building brand awareness, recognition, etc... right? so if you're logo looks like everyone else's, you're thrown your money away.

I love threads like this.

good luck all. worst part is, every time I buy a steak, I'm gonna have to do the math and say: "I could have bought 3 logos".. it used to be "I could have bought 5 domains."
