99designs Company Logo Design
If you are starting in business or have an existing one and want a professional logo design to help your company stand apart from your competitors then 99designs could be a great place to go to.
With many of the professional logo designers charging thousands of pounds could you get the same or better service from an organisation that links in with thousands of designers around the world? We think so.
How does 99designs Work ?
The concept is very simple. You know your company and their brand very well so you place a brief of what you want you logo to do, what it should say and the personality of your brand that you are trying to convey. You can add as much or as little detail to the design brief as you want. The site works like logo design contents you may have seen on some of the webmaster forums but in a managed way.
Once you have paid a flat fee (starting at $295) you will start to get actual logo designs posted into your account for you to have a look at. It's worth waiting a few days to see what comes through but then you can go back to a designer you like the look of and ask them to change what you see. You can put through as many changes as you desire until the logo is exactly what you want to see. On average you will receive 99 different designs, hence the name of the company, which is much better than just a couple of options from a professional design organisation.
Is a "Professional" Design Agency Better ?
With the 99designs concept of course everything is in your own hands - but this is good in a sense because you know exactly what you want and you are in complete control. What a "professional" organisation should add into the mix is perhaps some help on overall branding. For example, many people may decide that a van is the right picture for a courier company but an agency may suggest that a smiling person to portray a customer service side of the business is better. However for most small businesses, the logo is just the start of *their* company and really, for $295, it's a small amount to pay even if it all goes wrong.
What do 99designs say ?
The company was started by Matt Mickiewicz who is the founder of sitepoint and here's a short video outlining just what it's all about.
