The Logo Wall (thelogowall.com) is a categorised directory of logo stickers where $5 one-time (or $10 featured) buys a logo, a profile page and a dofollow backlink, ranked by "most viewed" and "most loved". Square Town (square.pov.town) is a spatial favicon wall where a square showing your site's icon at a position you pick is free, and anyone can take it for double what you paid, $1 minimum. The difference: The Logo Wall is a list you appear in; Square Town is a place you hold.

What The Logo Wall does well
A profile page. Your $5 buys more than a sticker: a page about your product, on their domain, that people and crawlers can read. Square Town gives you a card that opens when someone clicks your square — name, views, clicks, kisses — and nothing more.
A dofollow backlink, advertised as such. The Logo Wall sells the link as part of the product. Square Town does not: clicks from town are 302 redirects through /go/:id, counted for your analytics, and Square Town makes no SEO claim at all. If a link is what you're buying, The Logo Wall is selling one and Square Town isn't.
Categories and rankings. Logos are grouped by category and ranked by most viewed and most loved, so a browser can find "analytics tools" without scanning a grid. Square Town's side panel has leaderboards (most clicked, most kissed) but no categories — the wall is spatial, not sorted.
Permanent, no fighting. Nobody can evict a Logo Wall listing. Pay once, stay listed.
Featured tier. $10 buys prominence. Square Town has no paid prominence except position — and the Throne, which is $100 and rising.
What Square Town does differently
Free, and you pick where. The unit on square.pov.town is one 1×1 square, free, at the cell you click. Only the central 16×16 is live at launch; the wall grows by 4 cells each way every time it's 75 % full, up to 1024×1024. That makes position scarce and worth something, which a list can't offer — in a list, position is a sort order.
Nothing to upload. Paste a URL and Square Town fetches the favicon. No logo file, no profile text. If your site has no favicon you get a clown until you add one.
Evictions. Any square can be taken for double what its owner paid, $1 minimum — $1, then $2, then $4. The evicted site is announced in the live feed. Painful and public, but it gives a square a market price and keeps the wall from freezing. See the economics of eviction.
The Throne. The 4×4 dead centre. Intro price $100, one owner, doubling on every eviction. Nothing on a directory works like this.
Kisses. Anyone can kiss any icon, free — public and counted, and each kiss adds a storey to the icon's tower. The Logo Wall's "most loved" is a count; Square Town's kisses are a count and a storey on your tower.
Live and 3D. Every claim, eviction, kiss and unlock is pushed to all open browsers over WebSockets. Tilt the wall and every favicon becomes a tower as tall as its clicks plus kisses, tinted with the icon's colour.
Per-square analytics with no account. Views, clicks and kisses on every deed; $5 one-time unlocks per-day charts. Ownership is a secret deed URL — no login, and no password reset either.
Who should pick The Logo Wall
- You want a profile page and a link on someone else's domain, and you're paying for exactly that.
- You want to be findable by category rather than by position.
- You want permanence and no game — nobody can take your listing.
- You'd pay $10 to be featured rather than fight for a spot.
Who should pick Square Town
- You want position: a square you chose, in a small live area, on a wall people watch.
- You want to pay nothing and be done — see pricing.
- You want zero setup: URL in, favicon out, no upload, no form.
- You have many sites: one favicon per square is a cheap way to showcase all your projects.
- You want the game — evictions, kisses, the Throne, ring unlocks — because it's what keeps a wall alive. See what a logo wall is for where Square Town sits in the genre.
Can you use both?
Yes, and it's a sensible pairing: a directory listing with a profile page for the link and the category browse, and a free square for a live, spatial presence with analytics. They don't compete for the same slot on your to-do list. Square Town has no accounts, so the second costs an email address and a deed URL to bookmark. If you're weighing the whole field of logo boards and pixel walls, pixel walls ranked 2026 and pixel advertising alternatives put them side by side.
