You were not kidding about the 'instant results' part. I like that, as well as the domain name.
alessioalex on HNReally fast! Nicely done.

From 3 comments
I searched for Twitter - https://logosear.ch/search.html?q=twitter Literally none of those are Twitter's actual logo. They're all subtly wrong (dimensions, color, aspect ratio,…
onion2k on HNBare in mind that a lot of theses aren't the company's logos. They're copies people have made, and got wrong. If your parters are going to see their logo on whatever you're…
onion2k on HNThanks for building this! I actually obsess about having high quality logos for companies in the pitchbooks I write, so have built a personal collection over time... it's not…

Page is jumpy as logos load one at a time
From 1 comment
Looks useful. Feedback: the result rendering is very "jumpy" due to logos loading in one at a time. You could either render sized wrapper containers for each logo, or load them…

Questions
What are the sources and their licenses, and is hosting legal

chrisacky on HNThis is great, getting logos off sites is so tedious. What about the legality of using the logos (for example, to use AWS logos for certain purposes, you have to be a partner).…
