I am a vector artist and I sell my works at some microstock agencies. I wondered if is worth to try to expand a little and try to create and sell logos. I've seen on stocklogos.com that these logos are sold for pretty good money. Is it worth the time? Are there any buyers to pay those prices?

I don't think it is a very profitable market. I tried very briefly to experiment with the logo market and while I've had decent success doing logos in a work-for-hire setting, as stock it never worked out for me.

I suspect it isn't a very profitable market for agencies either. iStock ventured into stock logos only to back out of the initiative before they even launched the service.

The problem with logos is that you can sell them only once, not very effective from my stand point. All other illustrations you can sell many times, redesign, recombine etc.

Not entirely true, 99 designs has a lower price for logos, but if it hasn't sold yet the buyer can pay more for exclusive rights. Why would anyone buy it though if it has sold before?
