As we approach 100,000 logos it seems like a good time to shine a spotlight on older, brilliant logos that maybe didn't get as much attention as they deserve. These logos are now displayed one at a time, on the homepage, below the staff favorites. When we have a few of them we will start showing them all on a separate page as well.

Selection is semi-automated. The LG system finds all logos that meet the criteria (must be a year old, must not be in the top 100, no glaring typos in the description etc. etc.) and then an admin manually OK's the logo that the system picked before it is shown on the homepage. There isn't anything you can do to increase the chances of your logos being selected - well, except for making brilliant logos and proofreading your descriptions. :)

Let us know what you think. Suggestions welcome, as always.

Ajleroux,

Great idea. Looking forward to checking this new section every single day.

One suggestion: Maybe you should add an anchor to that specific section, so it would be easily bookmarked.

Thank you,

Ortega Graphics

Done :)

Nice. Very nice!

ANCHOR

Nice!

I feel this is the right answer to the forum created by @Ortega Graphics. Very good.

ANCHOR

Lovely idea!

ANCHOR

Great feature ;-)

The question is, will the lucky hidden Gem show for 2 days during the weekend? (when the staff is not on a working day)

ANCHOR

Thanks everyone. :)

Furqontino, the plan is to change it daily (admins can change it with one click), but maybe sometimes Saturday's gem will live on until Monday. It depends on how lazy we are on Sundays. :)

ANCHOR

:-D

you said that the selection is semi-automated,
I think it would be interesting if LG set the system to be fully automatic over the weekend.
and let the engine show who is the lucky one ;-)

ANCHOR

Sure, maybe in the future when we see that the system does a good job of picking gems. For now we want to keep an eye on it.

StudioSans,

On your post above, you said: "I feel this is the right answer to the forum created by @Ortega Graphics. Very good."

If you really meant "answer to the forum created by", then, allow me to explain that I didn't create the forum. LOL.

If you meant "answer to the post created by" then, maybe you were talking about my post proposing the addition of an anchor, which Ajleroux did (Thanks Ajleroux, by the way). So, yes, Ajleroux's quick implementation of that proposed addition is in fact, as you said, very good.

If you meant "answer to the forum topic created by", then it is not clear which forum topic you are referring to. The latest forum topic I created dealt with the sorting of logos within a designer's store, which is not relevant to this new hidden-gem feature. Therefore, can you kindly let us know, what specific forum topic (created by me) are you referring to?

Thanks,

Ortega Graphics

ANCHOR

Wow that's awesome!

ANCHOR

Nice! Thanks Ajleroux!

ANCHOR

Great, let us see those gems.
@Ortega Graphics I think he just forgot to add "post", forum post :)

ANCHOR

@OrtegaGraphics, I thought the forum was your creator, so wrong. Yes, I mean your "post".
I'm sorry for that. :(
@Cope yes, that's what I meant. thank you Cope.

ANCHOR

Nice :)

ANCHOR

Great idea!
Kudos for quick implementation.
One observation. The date when the logo is featured is wrong. I suppose that you set it manually. It still shows the date of the first hidden gem logo (12.04).

ANCHOR

Many thanks Arda. Well spotted. Fixed.

ANCHOR

Good News for anyones ^___

ANCHOR

Nice feature.

ANCHOR

I love this feature, very inspiring.

ANCHOR

Fantastic execution and idea

ANCHOR

btw, why doesn't the Client Feedback session (under Hidden Gems) update automatically?

also, IMHO it would be great to show a short description
- Published since xx-xx-xxxx
- Sold at xx-xx-xxxx

ANCHOR

Hi Furqontino,

That's on our to-do list. :)

ANCHOR

I like the idea !

ANCHOR

I was wondering, was it the hidden gem feature that brought some of the recent sales?

ANCHOR

It is possible! Interesting!

ANCHOR

Difficult to say, but it will have some impact. Yesterday's hidden gem was among yesterday's sales.

ANCHOR

Ajleroux,

When you unveiled this cool feature you said: "When we have a few of them we will start showing them all on a separate page as well."

Any plans to create that separate page soon?

Thank you,

Ortega Graphics

ANCHOR

Yup, coming soon now that the logo exam is up and running - provided we don't discover any major bugs in the exam.

ANCHOR

Cool idea!!

ANCHOR

Update:

Previous hidden gems now have their own page:
https://www.logoground.com/gems.php

The links to that page are in the site footer and also below the featured logo on the homepage.

ANCHOR

Looking good!

ANCHOR

Thumbs up!
