Your designer rank and badges contribute significantly to your logo rankings. As your designer rank and your collection of badges grow, your logos receive increased exposure.

Designer Rank

		Designer level 1: New designer
		Designer level 2: Silver	Awarded when you reach 20 reputation.
		Designer level 3: Gold	Awarded when you reach 100 reputation.
		Designer level 4: Platinum	Awarded when you reach 500 reputation.

Your reputation score is determined by a number of factors.

Your reputation increases when:

• You upload logos (that are approved).
• You sell logos. (Linking to your profile page from your site, from Facebook, Twitter etc. definitely helps.)
• Your projects run smoothly and on time.
• You are active on the designer forum.
• Your clients contact us to tell us how happy they are.

etc.
Positive actions on the site all contribute to your designer rank. In turn, your designer rank contributes to the rank each of your logos receive.

Your designer rank is not a measure of how good we think you are and it is not static. It is a measure of your track record here on LogoGround and it is completely in your hands. If you upload lots of great logos, promote your logos, treat your clients well etc. you will climb through the ranking levels quickly.

Updates

Designer rankings are updated in real time.

Badges are updated automatically but not necessarily in real time. When you earn a new badge it may take a few hours or even a day or two before it shows up in your account.

If you have no approved logos in your account, updates may be delayed or paused for your account. Once you have one or more approved logo, updates will automatically resume.
