Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is logodesign.net legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns logodesign.net?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for logodesign.net. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

What logodesign.net said about itself, 2008
Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2008
Most of the ideas and goals of the LogoDesign.net site were formulated over many cups of coffee, (usually at the local Starbucks) as we tried to build a web site that addressed the needs of graphic designers who are 'in the trenches'. Our notes, scribbles and WTF moments were many.
