Since I'm a logo designer myself I know how difficult is sometimes to please everyone in a company - I think now is even harder with such a large audience :) - I'd be curios about the final result - did you choose a final logo?

These were some of the most hideous design work I've ever seen in my life. So few of the designs had anything to do with my business or my requests. They created a logo with a flying crane on it for a children's portrait studio. They made yet another where some double-Os looked like breasts! Thankfully they have a money-back guarantee. I got mine back. I tried thelogocompany.net

In looking for alternatives for a new project, I came upon this thread and thought I'd try The Logo Company. The results were positively awful.... so off the mark from my description in the brief as to be not even worth pursuing. Didn't cost me much, so I'll probably give another company a crack at it... or go back to logoworks... but I agree with the consensus that you get what your pay for. I work in television and have commissioned a number of logos over the year, and my experience with freelancers is that they've genereally been overpriced for these services. I can afford to try 4 or 5 of these online logo aggregators for the same price that I've been paying the local freelancers.

One week later I got exactly what I had in mind. They've got a quite original approach..if you read their faq, you'll see they say something like 'we are cheaper because we don't offer affiliate programs as everybody else'. The overall feeling is that they keep themselves away from promising anything but good design. Their design process is fairly straightforward. It's by email, no interfaces or extranet. I guess they are a group of designers working together and somebody exchanging messages with customers. Hope this helps somebody else.

He is an amazing designer). To add... The fact that there is no real communication between client and designer really doesn't make sense to me. When I price a project I consider X amount of hours for both research and consulting. I make sure that my clients are informed about the designs I submit so they are making an educated decision about the "face" of their company. I have to agree with Jon Hicks on this (Why wouldn’t I?
