Getting a logo: Fiverr, 99designs, other?

Question

Hello BP,

Now that I've done a few deals and am looking to start to brand my company.  I'm looking to get a logo.  What/who have you used for your logo design?  What were prices and was the value there?  Have you noticed a better quality with any of the companies versus the others?

Thanks for the time.

@Steven MallowNo matter what you do, don't think of the logo as just something to identify your brand as, look as it as a full personification of what your company stands for. Branding is difficult and time consuming, but getting it right can be the key to your success. I'd recommend looking at some of the market leaders in your locality as well as the region before deciding what you want your brand to embody. Fiverr and Upwork are great sites to have the concept drawn out into physical form, but I would suggest talking with a branding or marketing expert. They'll be able to help you feel out how best to convey the values and ideals of your business into a consistent brand that people can Identify with and thus, value and remember.

The $11 was only because my first logo was so bad I had to start over. The logo I sent you was $5.50. The file is one size and you size it in whatever application want to put it in. Most times it seems to work like magic. Not terribly tech savvy myself. My biggest hang up was whether the company name was on the logo or not, sometimes like for a t-shirt I want the name on there but for my business cards (which I get from Vista Print by the way) I didn't so I had to do some editing on my own. If you're not comfortable with that you may want to ask for logos both with and without your company name. Also, the clearer you can be with the intent you're trying to get across with your logo, your company colors and all of that the easier it will be for them to design a logo that works.

I used angela_gfx https://www.fiverr.com/angela_gfx for my logo design and she did an amazing job. I also used quintinpfeiffer https://www.fiverr.com/quintinpfeiffer and she did a horrible job.

Bottom line for about $11 I got an amazing logo that I'm really happy with. Again, I strongly recommend angela_gfx. Below is the logo she came up with for me.

I don't know if this thread is dead or not. But i'm currently using 99designs.com to run a design contest and getting some pretty awesome submissions. Just takes a bit of work to manage all the designers!

@Steven Mallow, Upwork is kind of similar, yeah. Individuals or Companies can post their qualifications and receive invitations to work on jobs or they can search for posted jobs that other people need done. The job poster can then interview the candidates, see their qualifications, and compare bids. I couldn't agree with you more Melissa!

Steven Mallow · Answer

Thank you for all of your repsonses.

@Evan Hunsberger Thanks for the tips.  I definitely am looking for consistency from pieces of marketing to facebook to business cards and logos.  Upwork is one I hadn't heard of.  Is it similar to Fiverr?

We used logomaker.com. I believe it was free, only requiring payment if you wanted logos that you could put on letterhead.
