How to run a logo contest on 99 designs August 2nd, 2009
Hey Guys,
I just had this logo made on http://99designs.com/ This is not an affiliate link.
It was a really cool process because you start a contest. You can pick the contest to run different lengths. You tell the artists what your looking for, how much you want to spend and than wallah!
The competition begins. Entries from all over the world come in so you have many, many choices to pick from. As the contest proceeds you give the artists you like feedback so they can make changes.
I offered the minimum cash prize you can start a contest at which is $195. Though it’s about $275 when they get finished with fees, since the $195 goes to the artist.
So I’m a happy camper, I like this design and now I can use it everywhere including squeeze pages, Aweber, and blog posts.
Best,
Rob

Hi Rob!
That’s pretty cool.
I had heard about 99designs, but did not know how it worked.
Thanks for the info – cool design.

Yeah Ed,
I really felt in the drivers seat. You don’t even have to accept any of the designs if your not 100% happy. Next time I’ll use them for business cards.
Regards,
Rob

I respect your honesty and your opinion. I’m a man. I never read comic books. I don’t know if i could have pointed to Iron Man in a lineup of comic book characters. And i don’t particularly like movies based on comic books. BUT I love Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges, so i decided to give the movie a chance.
