Fairpixels is giving startups a helping hand, and open sourcing rejected logos<\/a> for anyone to use.
The company, which is a pay-what-you-can-afford design firm, says it has \u201cunused logo design proposals piling up on our hard drives,\u201d so it\u2019s just giving them away, and will be freeing more designs up weekly (every Tuesday).
The logos are all free to download, and you get both the finished product (png) and an Illustrator file if you\u2019d like to slap that logo elsewhere. They range from clean and unique all the way to \u2018wtf.\u2019 Some of them seem unfinished, though (lines aren\u2019t very clean).
It\u2019s a nice way to give back, but it\u2019s easy to see two startups falling in love with the same design and using it. To that, there\u2019s no clean recourse for who\u2019s got dibs; you either come to an agreement that one party will find another logo, or agree to leave potential clients and customers confused.

But, those bootstrapped startups who just need to get up and running quickly will likely love this idea. Once you get a bit more grounded, though, it\u2019s probably best to spin that free logo into something a bit more personalized.
Or, you could just do what I\u2019m doing and find ones that look like icons for your app design templates.
