Estimated survival rate
99%
of 440 recent r/logodesign posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.
How this is measured
Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Sep 5, 2026.
r/logodesign rules: what actually gets removed
Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.
1.Work offer or request (free or paid)
Enforcement varies**Do not** post offers or requests for design work (free or paid). This rule is zero tolerance and breaking it will result in a ban.
2.Low effort posts (seeking free consultancy)
Enforcement varies**Do not** submit low-effort posts essentially requesting free consulting (eg. "please give me your ideas for a new logo"). Show that you've taken a stab at it (ideally starting from sketches) and give reasons for what you've created.
3.Crowd sourced or spec work link
Enforcement varies**Do not** post links to crowd sourced or [spec work](http://www.nospec.com/faq) type design websites.
4.AI, meme, image macro, or social media screencaps
Enforcement varies**Do not** post AI, memes, image macros, or social media screencaps.
5.Sharing personal information
Enforcement varies**Do not** share other people's private personal information.
6.Spam
Enforcement varies**Do not** spam the subreddit.
7.Uncivil or disrespectful
Enforcement varies**Do** be civil and respectful to others.
8.Other violation of reddit sitewide policies
Enforcement varies**Read** [reddiquette](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette) & [self promotion](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion).
9.Asking for feedback
Enforcement variesAll posts requesting feedback should include some information about what the client is seeking. Design is solving a problem, and in order to give correct critique, we'll need to know what the logo is supposed to accomplish. Don't include specific client contact info, just put some direction the client has included in the brief. If they don't give you any information, you shouldn't be creating a logo for them.
10.Add Flair for Posting
Enforced automaticallyPlease choose a flair before uploading the post. Beginner is for novice designers, Client Work is for when posting feedback to meet the approval of a client, and Practice is just for fun and exploring.
r/logodesign does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.
Can you self-promote in r/logodesign?
No. r/logodesign bans self-promotion outright: product links, launch posts, and thinly framed feedback posts get removed. The sub's own wording: "Work offer or request (free or paid): **Do not** post offers or requests for design work". If you want eyes on your project, contribute first and look for communities with a promo lane.

What gets removed in r/logodesign
Self-promotion
r/logodesign bans self-promo outright. Product links, launch posts, and thinly framed "feedback" posts are removed.
Low karma or a new account
r/logodesign publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.
AI-generated content
r/logodesign removes content it judges to be AI-generated. Obvious AI phrasing in a draft raises removal risk even when a human wrote most of it.
Reddit's sitewide spam filter
A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.
A shadowbanned account
If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/logodesign posting questions
Can I post links in r/logodesign?
Yes. r/logodesign accepts link posts. The usual sitewide traps still apply: URL shorteners, affiliate parameters, and brand-new domains get filtered fast, and promotional links are judged against the sub's self-promo rules. One clean link to the original source is the safe pattern.
Does r/logodesign require karma to post?
r/logodesign does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.
Can you self-promote in r/logodesign?
No. r/logodesign bans self-promotion outright: product links, launch posts, and thinly framed feedback posts get removed. The sub's own wording: "Work offer or request (free or paid): **Do not** post offers or requests for design work". If you want eyes on your project, contribute first and look for communities with a promo lane.
Is r/logodesign strict?
Moderate, by our estimate (31/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 10 rules, and its stated gates). About 1% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.
Does r/logodesign allow AI-generated content?
No. r/logodesign removes content it judges to be AI-generated. That includes obviously AI-phrased text even when a human edited it, so rewrite drafts in your own voice before posting here.
What is the best time to post in r/logodesign?
Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Tuesday 5am UTC and Thursday 5am UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.
Why do posts get removed in r/logodesign?
The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 1% of r/logodesign posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
