Don't use 99designs if you are a serious designer or serious company. They scam both.Lots of logo contests and projects in the 250$-400$ price range and somehow we should expect quality logos? You got to be kidding me...Theres a reason logos are expensive because it can take weeks just to do research on what the company needs. Good luck finding the slave to do it for pennies in one day...They ban generic logo designs and designers but thats the problem. For a small price you will get a generic design because thats whats possible in the short timeframe a designer have. Don't expect anything from 99designs, be happy if you have a good experience with them otherwise look elsewhere...read more
Horrible experience so far

Horrible experience so far! I recieved designes from 3 people very low quality.

The biggest problem is paying nearly a £1000 for 50 designs.
You think you will get an option of variety,but in fact they don't limit the amount of designs one designer can do. So if you have a poor designer adding 4 or 5 designs that are all unusable or rateable, you then have 5 design slots filled.
I had about 12 designers that used all 50 design spaces and only a few were considerable. It got to the point that the quality wasn't good enough so I didn't even choose a winner.
I asked for a refund and explained to 99Designs my reasoning for wanting a refund and it was turned down because I clicked a competition where I agreed a winner would be chosen. Well I haven't chosen one so who knows what happened there.
As I said to 99 Designs in the email. It is not worth it. You can go on Fiverr and pay 50 different designers to come up with two designs each for less than half of what I paid.
I thought paying more would get a better quality return of designs.
I was wrong.read more

99Designs' reputation as an unethical auction site that drives designers to work for free is well-earned.Steer clear at all costs and value yourself and the people you work with instead.read more

I feel the designer mislead us into thinking there was no additional cost for the design.Before selecting them as a winner, we sent an email to confirm. After we selected 2 winners, we learned there was an addition cost to use his design. While 99 designs reimbursed the amount, it was not the full amount required to initiate another contest. We wasted time and money. I did not feel they took ownership for connecting us to this designer who literally copied an entire design from stock and just changed the color. I feel they should have made me “whole” by allowing me to initiate another contest at the sake rate I paid (I chose two winners, so the second was discounted).read more
I expected the 45 designs that I paid for for $600+, but only really received 11 individual designs.

Contests are misleading. I paid a lot of money to receive 30 designs, and then I forfeited my right to not choose any winner for an additional 50% designs (totalling 45).I only received 30 designs total in the qualifying round before choosing the finalists, and only 11 of these could actually be considered different designs. The remainder were re-uploads with very slight edits, or some designers uploading the exact same design in a slightly different shade. I expected the 45 designs that I paid for for $600+, but only really received 11 individual designs.
Design quality for the most part was quite average, except for 2 of them which were acceptable. Thankfully one of those was of a half decent standard.read more

I was very pleased with the expediency of the designers. They were easy to communicate with.I highly recommend using 99. The designers seemed intuitive to my ideas without having known the book's content. 99 was on top of communication as well! Will use again.read more
