Default LOGOS.. DIY .vs. Having A Pro To Do It..
Greetings Everyone . In regards to logos. How many of you have created your own logos versus having them professionally done? And why was this your option?

Also, how long did it take for you to come up with your idea design?


And were you happy with your final results?

I am new to the business and decided to go with LogoNerds.com because I checked out there portfolio and liked what I saw, and then I read a few post here from a lot of the members that said they did a great job. And it helps that with me just starting out they are really inexpensive. I know how pricy logo design can be, the agent I work with now spent $1,200 plus she had to pay for revisions. I have not received my logo designs yet it takes up to 3-5 days so I hope I have something by the end of the week. But I will let you know how the rest of my experience with them goes ones the process is finished.

I agree with you in regards to Logoworks.com. I had the opportunity to look at their portfolio and I TOO liked their designs.. I've sorta created/made a logo with a clip art attached and cute font. Something whimsical and attention grabbing.

I'm lucky enough to live with a talented graphic designer so he is designing my website header, business card and logo!

If I didn't I would certainly go pro as I know anything I could come up with would look distinctly amateurish.

At first I used freelancers.com--cost $50.00. I was sent 4 designs and then I could make as many edits as needed until I was satisfied. The finished logo was sent as a gif, jpeg, pdf, illustrator and photoshop.

The funny thing is, I didn't use their logo design after all. I created my own.
