I still can't believe that local graphic design shops think it's ok to charge many hundreds or even thousands of pounds to create a new logo.
Wired magazine have a great article about the online options available for these services. I have personally used the winner of their group test The Logo Company and they deserved the win.
The service was great, $150 for a shiny new logo, very fast turnaround, great work, everything you need. For just $50 more they will also include all the stationary design.
If you have a bit more budget for a logo then I would definitely recommend Crowdspring . You post a project, logo, website design etc and the "crowd" of freelance graphic designers pitch their ideas. You have to deposit the value of the project from the get-go but if you receive less than 25 submissions you get a full refund. The quality of the submissions is of an extremely high standard I will definitely be using the site for future projects.
Yet another reason why "I love the Internet"

Thanks for being a fan of SmallBizPod, that's very cool. If you enjoy the blog, I'm sure you'd enjoy the podcasts too.
ReplyDeleteAs for logo design, this is a useful pointer to getting the job done cost effectively.
Shame the pound has plummeted. Logos sourced in dollars were so much better value for money 6 months ago ;)
