How does Google images work - does it show most recent content?

[iArtist]

Some of my cartoon logos are showing on the first page of Google images re the term 'cartoon logos'
(Out of 5,290,000 results re this term)

Is Google images something that just shows the most recent entries on the front? How does it work?

I don't know the exact algorithm but it doesn't just show the most recent entries. Images are chosen based on a number of factors such as page rank, relevant text on the page, etc.

Page names, site value, image name, title alt img attr etc.

Agree, it's the words on the page that matter not the actual image. You could have a photo of a pork chop and get it onto Google images if the page title/caption/alt text and description all said 'cartoon logo'.

So if you want to dominate, have each logo on it's own page with captions, page titles, descriptions, anchor text and so on.

Note that the 5 million includes all the 'cartoon' and 'logo' results.

Google also used to have a game to identify/label what an image should rank for. Basically you could call an image of a dog "Loans" thinking you cheat Google (which on weaker engines and in the past with google probably worked). But you will often find images that aren't named what the picture is and/or don't have alt tags or anything and many wonder how they classify/identify (tag) these images - the is this: http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/

Basically the image pops up and you have so many seconds to tag what you see, at the same time other random people are tagging the same image and if you use the same words that's what it gets tagged as.
