Ask HN: jQuery plugins with awesome logos
Hi All,
It seems that most jQuery plugins have great looking icons attached to them. Is there a service that provides affordable logos for small plugin projects? Are people linking up with designers? Creating them themselves?? Can anyone comment from experience? I'm very curious.
- csallen 12y agoCheckout http://99designs.com/ http://99designs.com/ if you're looking to get a simple logo designed for cheap.
- djico 12y agoThanks csallen! Do you know if most developers use 99designs? It seems pricey for a plugin that is a side project and doesn't generate any money.
- stevekemp 12y agoI almost used it, but I found a decent logo via reddit: * http://www.reddit.com/r/freedesign/ http://www.reddit.com/r/freedesign/
- csallen 12y agoYou really only have two options: do it yourself, or get someone else to do it. As far as getting others to do it goes, 99designs is relatively cheap. Personally, I recommend learning yourself. Rudimentary graphic design is a pretty useful skill to have. Gotta say though, it can be a little frustrating. Unlike coding, where most of your time is spent building and adding, design requires constantly trashing and starting over, so it always feels like you're not making much progress... It took me a whole day to design the logo for Taskforce (https://www.taskforceapp.com/ https://www.taskforceapp.com/) for example.
