If you've ever needed a good company logo (or, for that matter, ANY type of design work - whether it be for your website, book, podcast, packaging, clothing, merchandise, etc.), you probably know there of plenty of options to choose from on the internet.

Many of them can work just fine. I've used a handful of different designers from websites like Upwork and Fiverr, but when I look back at all the design projects I've hired for in the past decade, there is one place I've had the most success with - a website called 99designs.

99designs is a service that follows the contest model. You provide all the basic details of what you're looking for in your design (any names or words to be included, any colors you prefer, other examples you liked, etc.) and within hours of submitting your contest, you'll have dozens of designers from all over the world competing for your business - submitting TONS of different logo concepts for you to choose from.

In this video, I'll take you from start to finish through an ENTIRE design project, so you can get an idea of how the site works and what kind of results you'll get from it. I hope you find it helpful!

As a Designer myself, I'd like to let you know that most good designers will totally ignore contests that are not Guaranteed. Because there are always contests that are Guaranteed so they'd rather do those instead. So many times people post contests and gather ideas and then get a refund and use one of the logos.

Love this video! Thank you so much! Super helpful as I was considering using this platform but was unsure. My mind officially made up!

In most cases when clients select a gold or platinum option in the end they select a simple, generic logo that will be able to get on bronze option ass well

Amazing video explanation,
may I ask for the total fee, is that the $598 total that you paid? And if you know, is the designer get all $598, or that have any charge for the 99Designs platform?
Thanks before Seth

269 euro for a logo sounds a little too much
