proxy owners and webmasters forum

hello
well being a graphic designer and also into making proxies i also like to make a unique logo for my proxy so it would be recognizable and remembered easily by users ( changed mine's recently getting not so good feedbacks about it )

well .. whats your thoughts , guys ?

I don't think it's that big of a factor (at least not something you can really calculate the success of easily).

With that said however, it wouldn't hurt to make a nice logo... especially when it'll only be an hours work or so and you can use it in your portfolio anyway. If it does get some more recurring visitors then I guess it'll be worth it.

Really dont think so man
I have 7 proxies not even changed a logo but still get traffic
IMO no botherings for that

Nope,

People visit the proxies in order to use it not to look at th design .

Thanks

yep i agree , also when the logo's related to the name of the proxy it'll probably be memorized ( more like remembered ) much easily

umm well what if we say the same thing about .. lets say google or any other site .. you visit google for the search engine not the design right ? but afterall you do want to see a decent logo

of course im not comparing google to any proxy but just setting an example

Its nice when a proxy have their own unique logo and design. But - its just a proxy, so i think the users of it doesnt really care.

But again - unique designs are the best

IMHO design is not important.

The most important thing in proxy is that is unblocked

I am sure a nice logo helps a little. I wouldn't doubt there are people out there who (I know I am one of them) like to have that feeling that they are using something of better quality than the rest. A nice logo and clean, well designed site that stands out above the crowd can give the impression that your site is in some way or another superior to the rest.

Of course 99% of the people out there could give a rats a$$ about the looks so long as it functions. But there is always that small group who will appreciate the work you put in to your site

I am going to play devils advocate here.

Of course, not having a great logo wont kill you - while you are small. But once you want to take that next step, you are going to need to appeal to people who are unfamiliar with proxies. This is when, I feel, you need a unique yet professional design in order to not scare people away. Plus, if I had to choose, I would rather be at a more appealing site then not if I had the choice.

yep , its not that big of a deal when it comes to new proxies but once you get some decent traffic to it , then its pretty much a necessity
