LogoGala Goes Live!

I’m pleased to announce the launch of my third site: LogoGala

Ever since launching Nice Stylesheet, I couldn’t wait to start on my next site and knew I wanted it to be a logo showcase. I don’t know what it is about showcase sites, but I think they hold my interest in updating them and they are fun to develop. Being a designer myself, I’m always looking for inspirational designs and now that I maintain my own CSS gallery and Logo gallery, the inspiration comes to me.

I’ve have high expectations that LogoGala will grow into my most successful site to date. It will be tough though since Nice Stylesheet has seen a steady rise in traffic and RSS numbers here lately, but being that CSS showcases are all over the net now, it’s really difficult to be huge success unless you got in the game early, and I didn’t. Currently there are only a handful of logo galleries out there and most of them were launched fairly recently. So, by getting in early before the floods of logo showcases start popping up everywhere, I think it has a great chance at success. I also believe that I’ve got a great domain name. I really couldn’t believe that it was available when I came across it. Needless to say, I purchased it quickly. The name is short, descriptive, and memorable and I think that can only have a positive impact on the success of the site.

About the Site

With Nice Stylesheet, I admit that not a whole lot of thought when into the site. I mean, it is what it is, a showcase of designs and not much else. I wanted LogoGala to be different. I wanted to do more than just a simple showcase with ratings. That’s why I’ve not only created the gallery, but there’s a blog and a “featured” section. With the blog, I plan to have regular guest posts by great designers as well as keep you up to date on all the happenings around the web which deal with logo design and the “featured” section is where each week different logo designs will be featured at the top of the homepage. With each featured design comes a behind the scenes look at how the logo was created. Among other topics, you’ll get the inside scoop straight from the designer on things such as what fonts were used, how colors were chosen and how long it took to complete.

Don’t Forget to Subscribe

I’m offering three RSS subscription options on the site: Master Feed (Gallery & Blog), Gallery Feed, and Blog Feed. So, if you’re a fan of great logo design, don’t forget to subscribe!
