Personally, I am quite on the fence regarding the use of a crowdsourcing site for a logo design. It is still a touchy issue for most designers who said that crowdsourcing is a no-no for obtaining a logo design. I have tried crowdsourcing before and I know the risks involved but it comes within the territory. But there are other no-frills logo design websites online such as http://www.logobee.com, http://www.logodesignstation.com, logoyes.com, etc. which are actually great in getting a professional logo design at a fraction of the price and minus the risks of crowdsourcing (plagiarism is one of them). Seeing that there are no consultation services, the price is significantly lower than that of conventional design firms. For instance, I have tried http://www.logodesignstation.com and the experience was indeed a positive one. I managed to get my business logo design at an affordable price and the turnaround time was great as well. Highly recommended. Although crowdsourcing for logo designs could be a bane for some, many find it to be a viable alternative to get a fast logo on the cheap. It all depends on the individual actually.

Thanks for the comment JP.

Reading back on the post, there is something important that I missed. Once we launched the project on CrowdSPRING, I actually took a look around the site at other projects that were going on. If I saw a submission that I liked, I contacted the designer and asked them if they would be interested in submitting a design for our project. Ultimately, the winning design was submitted by someone who I had approached and asked to submit.

Hopefully that tip will help you out a little more!

This is a particularly good article for me. I'm in the middle of starting a project and I need a logo. I've been checking out online various agencies and bribing friends with beer and pizza to help me design a logo for my soon to be company. (In case you're interested, it's a social media interactive marketing company for indie and small developers) The first time I heard of you is when you followed me on twitter, and seeing the logo intrigued me, I knew that it wasn't some random person... but someone who took some time and effort into their web presence. I appreciate you sharing your experience with crowdsourcing. With your good effort (and Angeline's excellent community management... ) I think I'm going to go with crowdSPRING. Cheers & Thanks!

Hi Peter,
Just wanted to reach out to you and say thank you so much for posting a project on crowdSPRING!

We're so happy that we could provide you with a great logo, and if you ever need stationery, website, or other design needs, we hope you come visit us again! :)
