Designing a logo can't be that hard, here's a buck. Whoever makes the logo bigger, gets the buck.

Their site looks like absolute shit. The samples utterly blow.
"Gosh Tony, that new logo of yours looks like it was designed by a blind farmer!"
"Not at all, Steve! We're off the blind farmer scheme. We got a drunk housewife to do it on the cheap."

300 for a logo? i wouldn't spend more than 1 minute on it.
You might win a contest and make some quick cash but think of the amount of hours you spend on the designs that don't win.

So you do the work, and then they can pick one? Sounds like a backwards way of tendering for work hahaha.

I was taught the industry standard for a logo is $1000. Thats because logos are mad eto be applied to signage, ads, stationary and the truth of the matter is a company can get several years use out of the logo.
The problem is not this website, but people that don't value design, or designer's time as something worth paying for.

I truly worry about anyone who is worried about this hurting their business. I will be frickin' happy if all these homemaker/small business owners go there rather than waste our time with calls and meetings to tell us how they want the greatest, multi-pronged media launch in the world, then tell us they have a $1000 budget.

Just wait until everyone signs in and the benchmark is set a little higher, or spreads to other industries.
Maybe I'm over-looking something really important, but in my opinion this idea has a strong revolutionary potential.
- thats what scares the shit outta me. our efforts have been ten folded by this. this is a good thing but bad for your work week.plash

I am not threatened at all by stuff like this because good decision makers understand the quality of personalized work and meeting your designer first-hand or at least working directly with them. This is partly why I am not crazy about Agency work its basically the same thing but you work in their office instead of on their website.

$300 for a logo only covers me till lunchtime. I can deliver half of a half-assed logo tomorrow morning for anyone who's interested.

The companies that do this aren't the ones who go to design firms anyway.

I think it might be a good option for a small business with little money who just needs a logo cranked out. Not so much for a company that wants to make a serious effort or launch an ad campaign, since it doesn't allow much understanding between the client and the designer except in the most superficial way.
