Anyone use Fiver for a logo?

[Will Skillman]

I am looking to have a logo designed. Anyone use Fiver or similar? Recommendations?

Good afternoon @Will Skillman,

We used 99designs. I'd say its pricing was in the middle tier compared to the other sites we considered (including fiverr). We paid a little over $300 and got to choose  through 500+ design submissions from 100s of different artists over the course of 3 days. Artists were pretty good with respect to response times.

We were able to give detailed feedback on designs that we felt needed some tweaks and we were able to just dismiss other submissions. They let you rate each design submission using a 5-star rating scale. If you voted 1 or 2 stars for a design, other artists would see that and refrain from making anything similar. On the other side, if you rated a design 4 or 5 stars, it gave other artists a good idea of what you were looking for. You can also pinpoint specific parts of the logo and add a comment for that spot- i.e. "can you change the color on this letter from red to blue?".

The more feedback you're able to give, the happier you'll be with the end result. I hope this helps.

Best of luck to you!
