As you’ve probably seen already last week, the domain name Logo.com was brokered by Sedo and sold for half a million US dollars to a buyer who has yet to be disclosed. According to an earlier version of the website on Logo.com (which has now changed),
Logo.com will provide graphic design and other services to small businesses and entrepenuers including logo design, website design, stationery design, printing and much more. Our website is launching in Q1 2011. We’re looking forward to serving you!
Adam & Alan, Co-Founders of Logo.com
If you’re wondering who Adam and Alan are, I can give you some insight. Once the DNS changed to IdealHosting.com, I was able to instantly recognize the buyer, a friend of mine.
Adam is Adam Strong, a well-known and widely respected domain investor who was a co-founder of domain name news website, DNN. Alan is Alan Townsend, who was head of eCommerce at Personal Creations, which was acquired by Provide Commerce, Inc., the parent company of ProFlowers, RedEnvelope, Cherry Moon Farms and Shari’s Berries.
The new company will offer logo and design services to small businesses and entrepreneurs. You can’t get much of a better domain name for this type of service than Logo.com – that’s for sure. According to Adam, “we’re in full-fledged development mode right now building out the platform and lining up patnerships. We’ve got some great designers already lined up but we’re always going to be looking for more.”
He indicated that some recent large sales to domain investors helped spur this investment. Adam notes, “with my good friends Richard Kirkendal and Richard Lau buying up category killer domains like DomainName.com and launching successful sites on Resume.com , I figured I had to ‘keep up with the Jones’ a bit . . . haha.”
These two internet entrepreneurs have worked together in the past, which should help them work well together on Logo.com. According to Strong, “Alan and I have worked together on several large domain brokering deals over the years and we’ve always talked about doing something together on a killer domain. This domain came up, time and again. It was one we always thought would be a home run. ”
Congrats to Adam and Alan, and I wish them both all the best with this key domain name.
Awesome!
Already #5 on Google (for me) on the “logo” search, out of 2.3BILLION results.
Huge name and I wish them the best!
Congrats to everyone.

Fantastic Domain Name. Best wishes to Adam and Alan on the build-out. Very Exciting!
Congrats to Adam and Alan. A great name. Look forward to seeing up and going.
Congrats guys – it’s a great name for sure. I wish you luck with the business and know you will do well. I’ve signed up for the newsletter and will look forward to updates.
@Aron truly the power of a keyword rich domain name right now.
Congrats, guys. Can’t wait to see the new site.
Congrats Adam and Alan! I am sure you’ll do big things with this spectacular domain.
Great name. I don’t think they should worry about any competition in the future from Logos.com
I just hope they will not provide an overpriced design services since there are plenty of Freelnacing websites around not to mention strong competitors such as 99designs.com

Congrats guys!!! Will be a great site to point to when explaining what a great domain can be.
Best of Luck…
I was digging into this earlier today to try and find out who the owners were to follow up on me reporting the sale. LOL
Like you said.. the DNS should have gave it away to me but I didn’t see the “Adam & Alan, Co-Founders of Logo.com” on the site.
Congrats to both!
Awesome name and congratulations
Congrats to the guys….
Btw….They have a small typo on their holding page:
“….to small businesses and ENTREPENUERS….” (Entrepreneurs)
Congratulations to you guys. That’s a great domain for sure. I look forward to seeing what you guys do with it. Lots of potential there.
Congrats Adam and Alan … best of luck with the new venture!
Congratulation to the buyer. I’d like to sell [removed]

Hey IrishDomainer — if you still have Logo.ie check out the White Label option here: https://logo.com/partner-with-us
Not a bad domain, but it seems expensive.
Great domain name. I am not one for keywords unless it is the exact one you need. In this case – the domain is short, memorable, and a better keyword doesnt exist
An old thread, but thought we’d update you to let you know that http://www.Logo.com is now a full fledged business. And @irishddomainer we can even set you up as a White Label site so that Logo.ie can be your own Logo Maker!
