Stack Overflow
The client required: ‘A dynamic logo that reflects the potential of this mythical programming community site we’re building’.
A stack overflow error can occur in a computer program due to excessive memory usage, so this needed to be represented in the Logo Design, along with a flowing over and outpouring of community development knowledge.
Design Work
- Logo Design. The design conveys the business message with a playful corporate mark of overflowing data points.
- Won a global design contest in 2008 that started it all.
“With the exception of a few minor tweaks, the Stack Overflow logo… has been essentially unchanged since we paid $512 for it in a 99designs contest back when that was a lot of money for us. We thought it was pretty awesome then, and it’s still pretty awesome now.”
Project Impact
- Branding is recognised worldwide.
- 100M+ monthly visitors.
- 29M+ registered users.
