Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • Work offer or request (free or paid): **Do not** post offers or requests for design work (free or paid). This rule is zero tolerance and breaking it will result in a ban.
  • Low effort posts (seeking free consultancy): **Do not** submit low-effort posts essentially requesting free consulting (eg. "please give me your ideas for a new logo"). Show that you've taken a stab at it (ideally starting from sketches) and give reasons for what you've created.
  • Crowd sourced or spec work link: **Do not** post links to crowd sourced or [spec work](http://www.nospec.com/faq) type design websites.
  • AI, meme, image macro, or social media screencaps: **Do not** post AI, memes, image macros, or social media screencaps.
  • Sharing personal information: **Do not** share other people's private personal information.
  • Spam: **Do not** spam the subreddit.
  • Uncivil or disrespectful: **Do** be civil and respectful to others.
  • Other violation of reddit sitewide policies: **Read** [reddiquette](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette) & [self promotion](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion).
  • Asking for feedback: All posts requesting feedback should include some information about what the client is seeking. Design is solving a problem, and in order to give correct critique, we'll need to know what the logo is supposed to accomplish. Don't include specific client contact info, just put some direction the client has included in the brief. If they don't give you any information, you shouldn't be creating a logo for them.
  • Add Flair for Posting: Please choose a flair before uploading the post. Beginner is for novice designers, Client Work is for when posting feedback to meet the approval of a client, and Practice is just for fun and exploring.

Works well

  • A post with the Client Work flair showing your logo sketches, the client brief, and your reasoning behind the design choices.
  • A post with the Practice flair exploring a logo concept for fun, with your early sketches and an explanation of what you tried.
  • A post with the Beginner flair showing your first attempt at a logo, including your process and a request for critique with context.
  • A discussion post about a design problem you faced and how you solved it, with no links to spec work or design contest sites.

Avoid

  • Posting any offer or request for design work, free or paid, because the rule is zero tolerance and will get you banned.
  • Posting AI, memes, image macros, or social media screencaps.
  • Posting links to crowd sourced or spec work type design websites.
  • Submitting a low effort post that asks for ideas without showing your own sketches and creative process.
  • Forgetting to add a flair before uploading your post.

What r/logodesign Is For

This community is a place to discuss logos and their design. People post there to share work, get critique, and talk through design problems. The description is short and direct, and the rules make clear that it is a space for learning and feedback, not for hiring or being hired.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule named Work offer or request (free or paid) is the one that will end your account here, because it is zero tolerance and breaking it results in a ban. The rule named Low effort posts (seeking free consultancy) will remove posts that ask for ideas without showing your own work. The rule named AI, meme, image macro, or social media screencaps bans AI content entirely. The rule named Crowd sourced or spec work link blocks links to contest or spec work sites. The rule named Asking for feedback requires you to explain what the client is seeking and what the logo is supposed to accomplish. The rule named Add Flair for Posting requires you to pick a flair before your post goes up.

What To Post

A good post here is a logo you designed, shown with your sketches and creative process, and paired with the client brief so people understand the problem you are solving. Pick a flair before you submit, using Beginner if you are new, Client Work if you need help meeting a client's approval, or Practice if you are exploring for fun. Explain what the client is trying to accomplish and give reasons for the choices you made. If you are a founder with a product, the closest useful post is sharing your own logo work for honest critique, not promoting your product or service.

What To Avoid

Do not post any offer or request for design work, free or paid, because that rule is zero tolerance and will get you banned. Do not post low effort posts that ask for free ideas without showing your own sketches and reasoning. Do not post links to crowd sourced or spec work type design websites. Do not post AI, memes, image macros, or social media screencaps. Do not share other people's private personal information. Do not spam the subreddit. Do not be uncivil or disrespectful. Do not forget to add a flair before you upload your post.
