How To Get A Custom Logo Made (Cheap and Easy) Full Transcript Below:
Oliver: Out here today at Paradise Point, Resort and Spa, attending a Mike ferry event, learning a bunch of good stuff but wanted to just step out for a minute and share another cool tool that we’re using in our business that I think could help a lot of other people out so.
As a business owner and marketer I’m sure you understand the importance of a logo in your business and oftentimes getting something good made can be a total pain or you’re gonna come up with something really generic or just use the same old same old played-out stuff so if you want a really good resource for getting custom logos and custom design work done, it’s a site called 99designs.com that’s the number 99designs.com, what it is is it’s a site that hosts a whole bunch of designers, thousands and thousands of them from across the globe and it allows you to run different design contests for your business so you can get a bunch of different logos created custom.
So for example let’s say you wanted to get a new logo designed for a project, what you would do is you would start a new design contest on there. The way that the design contest works is; first you’ll pick the type of project that you’re looking for, it could be anything from a full-on logo for your brand and business to just a general marketing piece or a logo for a particular project that you’re doing, it’ll first ask you a series of questions on different things to get the look and the feel of the logo that you’re going for.
You can go through, you can browse designers portfolios, pick people to enter and as they’re submitting designs you can give them feedback in real time, you can give ratings on things that you like things that you don’t like so that other designers kind of know what you’re looking for and can play off of it as well and so for the first three days, you’re getting submissions then you pick your eight finalists and then they have three days to work through any revisions, different things like that to really make something great and so just to give you an idea like the last contest I ran, we got a hundred and forty one submission so you’re getting a ton of different submissions to look at and it makes it really easy to find something great, that’s custom, that’s really tailored to what you’re looking for.
So give it a try, after the seven days you just pick a winner and then just another side tip is you always want to guarantee the contest too which basically just means that after the seven days you guarantee that you’re gonna pick a winner and that someone’s gonna get paid but for the most part, you know, you can get a great logo, great stuff done for a really fair price and you’ll get hundreds of different logos to choose from so you get something really great so anyway let me know if you tried it, let me know if you like it, if you hate it, if you have anything else you want me to talk about or if you have anything else to add and outside of that look forward to talking to you soon, take care!
