Back in 2004 a 256mb USB flash drive was $28 AFTER $15 MIB. :eek: So expensive when they came out and only 256mb.

Well, you're all just lucky it's not *me* desiging the logos. Otherwise, it would look like this: SlickDeals.net
Um yeah. That's the extent of my talent, folks. :lol: ;)

What, is this supposed to be a play on Rick Dees?

woowowowowoww. :D

wow. i joined recently and saw the new logo.

Slickdeals.net! We love you!

Guess they didn't have spellcheck back then.:D

:lol: :lol:

The 2008 logo is pretty awesome!

i like the 05-08 one :-D

i think the 2000 one is the best. the biggest gain in members was 2000-2005, think more people recognize that more than anything

"It's all about appearances. That's why it's time to update our company's stodgy image and give it the sleek, dazzling veneer of the 1980's"

The next logo should be an 80's throwback.

I like the 2000 one and the 05-08 one. Can we also learn how slick deals got started, or is that in future episodes, stay tuned?

Thanks~ I spent 8 years at ITT Tech learning how to do that~ :lol:

I have to be honest, I barely notice the Logo. I go for the deals and there have some super ones for me. So the Logo has no significant meaning me, it's the DEALS. KISS= Keep It Simple Stupid.
Any Logo will work because Slick Deals is the BEST

$750 off $1500 Dell laptops were the days!

i wish i would've joined slickdeals in 2000, gread thread.

The forum and front page properly have the little SD favicon thingy that you see when bookmarking and in tabs...
BUT
The blog doesn't :)

Interesting. No, seriously.

$750 off $1500 Dell laptops were the days!
I pulled up an old archive just to take a look and found: $20 off of $20 at Eddie Bauer and multiple Drugstore deals...care to guess what everyone got for christmas that year???? Ahh the memories.:)

the latest logo is the best. But the colors of the slented "slickdeals.net" don't match the logo, and that blue and red, are not sharp enough.

remember when the toolbar had this icon ? http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/dwardmac/toolbar.jpg

i wish i would've joined slickdeals in 2000, gread thread.

I believe 2003 was the first year you could join, since Mr. Slickdeals himself joined in May 2003... ( and I joined a couple of months after :cool: )

Very cool post :)

awesome ............. get to see the different logos ....loved it, loving it, will love it

The present logo looks much more professional than in the past

02/24/2000 - 6pk Zip Disk for $24.96 (http://web.archive.org/web/20000301130145/http://www.slickdeals.net/#271). Cool... I still have these... the parallel port version.:lmao:

the logo in the blog and the blog footer are the best ones so far. the 2 different shades of blue looks weird. and the red doesn't flow with the rest of the colors.

I love you Slickdeals.net and send my best wishes! Hope you build another forums for stock deals talk. Thank you!

I like it!!! Logos are harder to design than they look!

I like the new one, but the 2000 version is the best!! :heart:

How bout a history of how SD started for the next post

The latest is definitely the best one... but I do miss the scissors...

I wonder how that would look around the new logo...

who is "the founder" anyway? Is slickdeals still run by the same individual/group?

if there is a better site out there, i'd love to hear about it!

mr sd is still the original founder/owner :)

darn...did you guys just change the little site icon thing in the address bar? CHANGE IT BACK!! It's throwing me outta whack :P

i like the 05-08 one :-D

Heck, I didn't even noticed that it had changed til I saw this. :lol:

I love the fact that you shared all the past logos of Slickdeals through the years. I really love the current logo and I am sure it will only get better as years go on.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane (not that long for me, but I am sure others appreciate it).

No more scissors means no more cuts :)

Nice thread. I just miss the old slickdeals in general though. There used to be an incredible deal posted every other day back in 2004-2006. But there have not been many great deals since then. I used to look forward to getting on slickdeals in the morning and multiple times throughout the day to find a great deal, but i only get on here about every other day now ) :

wasn't it called some other name for a while, like dailydeals or something?

I love the brief logo of 2000... where it was probably very obvious after it was uploaded that it was a terrible idea. :lol: Anyway.... I LOVE YOU SD!

while i like the newer logo
i much preferred the threads we had back in the day

they were all about getting free gift cards, stacking stuff to get $100s worth of stuff for free

ahh the internet at it's infancy... a time where deals'ers really got deals

wasn't it called some other name for a while, like dailydeals or something?

I was using "thedailydeals.com" before ever hearing of "slickdeals.net". At some time in 2001, the "SlickDeals" name was introduced to "thedailydeals.com". The links below are all for "thedailydeals.com".

From August 2000:
http://web.archive.org/web/20000815055222/http://www.thedailydeals.com/

From November 2000:

From November 2001:
http://web.archive.org/web/20011129135115/http://thedailydeals.com/

I also found this from May 24, 2000 (http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/606/coupons.php?&dealalertmsgfinal=1):

"Site Changes

"As you noticed, I've changed the look of the site. The old design was getting a little drabby and it had lots of problems with netscape/webtv browsers. The new layout is pretty much the same so hopefully you'll feel at home.

"We've been adding alot of new coupons for pretty much every day now. Alot of them don't make it to the main page either because they arn't too good or I don't have the time to really look thru the store. Please check out the "new coupons" and "expiring coupons" pages. Both of the pages can be accessed via the top navigation bar. If you have any suggestions/dislikes about the new design or anything at all, feel free to drop me an e-mail.

"Also, I've decided to keep the SlickDeals.net name, TheDailyDeals.com will still exist. I'm currently redirecting traffic from the old server to thedailydeals.com server. That's why you'll see some links for slickdeals.net, and some links for thedailydeals.com. In the next few days, I'll transfer the domain to the new web host. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I apologize for the inconvience and confusion.

"I should also thank everyone for the words of encouragement and the positive (or negative) feedback. I've worked countless hours on the site and it makes me happy to know that you guys saved as much money as I saved in the past 6 months. Thanks for keeping my motivation up and running."

I like the first 2000 one

When does Part 2 start?

as soon as we have some spare time :D busy bees back here ;)

I really like this thread. I've always been curious as to who/why/how SD was started.

bryantq (OP), the links on your original post do not work anymore.
Do you have the updated links?
I am aware that this thread is rather old but I am curious to see the evolution of your logo.
Thank you!
