Rules

How positions, prices and refunds work. In short: the more a logo has paid in total, the higher and bigger it shows.

Countries and positions

Each country on the globe holds up to 30 logos, ranked by the total each one has paid. #1 is the biggest and sits in the middle of the country; each position below it is a little smaller. If two logos have paid the same, the one that got there first stays ahead.

Starting prices

While a country has room, a new logo pays at least its starting price:

FromCountries
$50Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States
$25Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey
$10Every other country

Taking a position

  • To take a position someone holds, pay $1 more than their total. They move down one place.
  • To take #1, pay at least $5 more than the current #1.
  • When a country is full (30 logos), getting in costs $1 more than the logo in #30.
  • The most any one logo can pay in total is $100,000.

Moving up

You can raise your logo's total at any time and you only pay the difference. Raise past the logo above you to take its place. A logo already at #1 can raise by $1 to stay ahead.

Being outbid and refunds

  • If someone pays more for your position, you move down a place. Your logo stays on the map.
  • If your logo is pushed past #30, it comes off the map and everything you paid for it is refunded in full.
  • If someone else's payment lands while you are still paying and your amount no longer wins, your payment is refunded automatically.

Boats and planes

10 boats sail the world's shipping lanes and 10 planes fly between major cities, each carrying one company's logo. Boats cost $4,870 and planes $4,870, at a fixed price. The first to pay gets it; if two people pay for the same one at once, the second payment is refunded.

Review

A person checks every logo before it shows. Until then your position is held for you. These are not allowed:

  • Offensive or illegal content
  • Fake or stolen brand (not the buyer's logo)
  • Dangerous or scam link
  • Business not allowed (gambling, adult, crypto…)
  • Low quality or not a logo

If a logo is rejected, or taken down later for one of these reasons, every logo below it moves up a place and the buyer is refunded everything they paid.

The boat game
