Conclusion I strongly suggest you let an experienced designer help you with your logo development. It's not unreasonable to pay several thousand dollars for a design.

Since this is not a discussion (yet), I ignored the 120-day posting thing. We ought to talk about reasonable logo strategies for tiny eCommerce startups. In my mind, someone with no eCommerce experience ought to draw their own stupid logo. The business may succeed or fail, and it will probably fail the first time around, so screw paying for a logo. At a certain point, however, I think the successful business person should plan to cough up some bucks. I'm curious what people think a logo is worth.
