I think the main reason this has done well is because of the quality of the logos. They are simple yet detailed, and just fresh and nice.

However, is there a mechanism to "call" the logos? Suppose I want a fox one for my open source foxy-pythons project and my arch rival uses it for foxy-rails and we don't discover it till the great tech crunch final battle. Shouldn't there be a way of knowing someone already used it?

As far as I can tell, you "apply" for them and then get exclusive rights to it. Only one project gets it?

EDIT: https://github.com/arasatasaygin/openlogos "One logo can be only given to one project. This project will have all exclusive rights of the logo."

Ah, I missed that you apply for them.

I thought you just take them off the site and drop them in and go.

If you click the "How it works" text, you get a dropdown answering some things like that. One of the answers is

> One logo can be only given to one project. This project will have all exclusive rights of the logo.

which should prevent your hypothetical situation from occurring.
