I came across ZillionDesigns.com while looking for someone that could design a logo for my high school physics website. The service they are promoting is rather unique — on the site you’ll be able to submit a ‘contest’, for whatever you need to be done (logo, brochure, web template, business cards and other similar design service). You are able to select your budget and also adjust the prize amount. The higher the prize the more designs you’ll likely have to choose from. After you prepare a brief description of what you need your contest will be sent to the designers, who begin creating whatever you’ve asked for. As the designers provide you with work samples, you are able to provide feedback to help you get exactly what you need. The last step is to pick the design you like the most and announce the ‘winner’ of the ‘contest’.
ZillionDesigns.com offers many different packages, which start with logo and stationary all the way up to logo, stationery, web design and brochures.
I chose ZillionDesigns.com as the place to design my logo because I wanted to have a strong influence on what I’m getting as the end result.
Since with ZillionDesigns.com you are choosing from many different designers you can get exactly what you have in mind and are looking for. I also like the idea of a ‘contest,’ which in my opinion makes the designers work harder in order to win it instead just ‘completing another order’ that came in.
In summary – ZillionDesigns.com is a very interesting concept in crowdsourcing, especially if you like input into your design. It also allows you to control the costs carefully, which is a great feature. I used it to get my website logo designed!
