# Square Town vs The Logo Wall: $1 square or $5 logo with a profile?

> Square Town vs The Logo Wall, as of August 2026: a $5 categorised logo directory with profile pages versus a $1 spatial favicon wall with evictions, kisses and 3D.

Source: https://square.pov.town/vs/the-logo-wall

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 $1 buys one square showing your site's icon at a position you pick, which anyone can take for double. 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 the wall 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 and nothing fades. 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

**$1, and you pick where.** The unit on [square.pov.town](/) is one 1×1 square at $1, at the cell you click. Only the central 16×16 is live at launch; the wall grows by 8 cells each way every time it's 70 % 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](/blog/how-to-add-a-favicon).

**Evictions.** Any square can be taken for double what its owner paid — $2, then $4, then $8. 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](/blog/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.

**Kiss decay.** An icon nobody has kissed in 90 days fades to grayscale. Anyone can kiss any icon, free. Dead projects fade; loved ones stay coloured. The Logo Wall's "most loved" is a count; Square Town's kisses are a count *and* a lifeline.

**Live and 3D.** Every buy, 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 click count, 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 $1 and be done — see [pricing](/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](/blog/showcase-all-your-projects-favicons).
- You want the game — evictions, kisses, the Throne, ring unlocks — because it's what keeps a wall alive. See [what a logo wall is](/glossary/logo-wall) 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 $1 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 a deed URL to bookmark. If you're weighing the whole field of logo boards and pixel walls, [pixel walls ranked 2026](/blog/pixel-walls-ranked-2026) and [pixel advertising alternatives](/alternatives/pixel-advertising) put them side by side.
