Ask HN: Who designed your logo?

7 pointsby tzury15 anni fa14 comments

Been so disappointed by results of 99designs I wonder if YC's companies are sharing contact details of some talented logo designers.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

Hi Tzury, looking forward to see what people wrote. One way I have done it in the past is to reach out to companies who designs/logos I like to ask them personally. I've asked people like Patio11 and others and all have been super helpful and patient with all my questions. Good luck!

thanks, will do so.

the world would be a better place, if like for photographers and writers, a logo designer would have been getting a credit line at /about or such.

if anyone ever need, http://www.logoturn.com/ is a great place to start, http://www.dribbble.com as well.

http://www.crowdspring.com/ seems quite similar to 99designs

You have to give 99 Designs very clear guidelines and a lot of feedback to get a good result. You may want to call or email your contact person there and tell them you were dissatisfied - they may be able to help.

Also, did you "guarantee" your contest (commit to choosing a winner)? I got 3-4x as many entries after I did that.

I've found great logo designers by looking through http://www.dribbble.com and getting in touch with designers whose logo work I like.

http://dribbble.com/tags/logo is definitely a good place to look at. many thanks.

Is that where you found logo designers for typecast and hackerbuddy?

illdave15 anni fa

Actually no, I've got some other logos designed for other projects from Dribbble designers, but not Typecast or Hackerbuddy (those sites actually don't really have proper logos..at least, not the first versions of them)

I'm in the same boat.

Someone told me about http://www.crowdspring.com/

but I've never used it. Might be worth a shot?

You can always use something like Illustrator or Inkscrape to design something yourself?

I guess you have to be relatively artistic for that.

If anyone needs a logo design, shoot me an email. I've been doing that for a while. (See my portfolio in my profile)

I sketched my logo with a pen and paper, then coded it up as an HTML5 canvas drawing.

Similar here - lots of sketching followed by Inkscape.
