The Problem With (MOST) Logo Design Companies
Hidden Costs
Ask yourself: If one logo design company offers a custom logo design package for a rock-bottom price of $299, how can other logo design companies offer a custom logo design package for $30? Very often the price these companies quote is not the full price.
Make sure you know what the final cost will be before you order.
What Exactly Do You Get?
Sometimes logo design companies can offer ridiculously low prices because they give you next to nothing in return. On the order page it sounds like you'll probably get everything you need, but when you really look closely, those sales pitches are about as clear as mud.
Make sure you understand exactly what you'll get for your money.
Things to look out for:
How many revisions will they give you? I know of one company that charges less than 30 dollars for a logo design, but they'll make you ONE logo. If you don't like it, that's your problem.
Do you have to choose one of the initial draft designs or will they keep sending you new ones until you see something you want to work with?
Do they offer a guarantee?
Will you actually be able to use your logo? Some logo design companies give you only a web site logo (low resolution). If you also need one that you can print on letterheads, business cards etc., make sure that it is included in the price before you order.
Bad Design
One of the great things about the Internet is that anyone can learn anything. The other side of that coin is that anyone can also sell anything.
There is nothing that prevents a teenager who received a computer for Christmas to put up a "logo design business". It's as simple as building a web site and setting your price.
But in logo design, experience really counts.
A logo represents the entire image of the business. You have to understand business to understand logo design. Look carefully at the logo design company's previous work before you place your order. If you have doubts, move on. There are many companies to choose from.
