User blog:MightyUke416/Announcement - Logos

Hey people,

I promise you guys that I did not want to make this blog in a million years, but I feel like now is the time.

For the past few years, I've been making a lot of logos for a lot of people. Now, while I do enjoy making logos for the most part, it is a lot of hard work, and very time-consuming for me. On average, I will spend about 1.5 - 2 hours on each logo that I do make for somebody's fanon, because I want each one to come out looking its best.

With that being said though, imagine my frustration when I spend all that hard work making someone a logo, only for the fanon to end up abandoned, or for the author to post a message asking for the fanon to be deleted. Don't get it twisted, I totally understand that things happen that sometimes prevent a user from being able to continue their fanon, such as school, and I am a firm believer that real life comes first at the end of the day, 1,000,000%. I also know full well that nobody starts a fanon thinking "Oh, I'm going to delete this in two months."

But, I've just gotten through counting all of the logos (that I still have on my laptop) that I have made for other people, and it turns out that, to date, I have made 33 logos for fanons that have wound up abandoned, or just straight up deleted. I have been making logos for other people since December 2015, for 25 months. Essentially, by this calculation, I'm making a logo every couple of weeks that just ends up on a deleted fanon, and honestly, I'm not even sure if I got all of them. Furthermore, there have been instances where I've had to chase users to give me credit for making the logos (which explains why I ask for credit every time I get a request). In short, all this kind of makes me feel as though most of the time, my hard work is not appreciated at the end of the day, and it just feels as though I'm being used. This is of course not directed at everyone that I've made logos for, especially those that have completed said fanon (you guys know who you are).

So, with all this being said, I don't want to stop making logos altogether, especially for those that truly do appreciate the hard work I put into them. As such, to make things far, from now on, I will only make logos that have at least one completed fanon on this site. To me, if you're able to complete a season, then you know what it takes to get one done, and I can be sure that you're fully committed to it going in. Whereas many new users on the other hand might not know what they're getting into.

By the way, in case some of you think I'm full of it and that 33 is an exaggerated number, all these logos in this image here are ones that I've made for other people that have ended up abandoned or deleted (I counted 33 here):



So yeah, in closing, I'm really sorry to be making this blog because it's the last thing I wanted to do. However, I feel as though it needed to be said. Have yourselves a great day/evening.
