It’s official, LifeOhm has a new logo that was just finalized thanks to the folks at www.99designs.com. For $99, I was able to select the logo I wanted and have it customized for my blog. The designer responded immediately and completed the customizations the same day, he even provided several different versions with other color options for me to choose from – far exceeding my expectations!
99 Designs also allows you to submit a concept for a logo or design for people to bid on and submit their ideas for the project. My friend Tim at Imagination Media used this service and ended up with a great logo for his company as well, for a slightly higher price.
Have you tried 99 Designs or other similar services? Share your experiences below, I’d love to hear them.
Hey – your logo looks great! I think you got a bargain.
So I actually WORK for one of those logo companies 🙂 My main recommendation is that logo seekers have answered some basic questions prior to paying for a logo. A little understanding about how a logo can impact business and brand go a LONG way, especially in how you communicate your needs to the designer.
Here are some basic tips I wrote on logo design, that I believe logo seekers should have handy:
