How to choose a Logo Designer. Know what to expect from your designer and what should be incorporated into your logo design.
Things You'll Need:
- A keen eye and common sense is all you need.
- Step 1
Search the web - there are way too many design companies online for you not to find a good one. I will usually type in my keywords into a google search and then open the top 10 to 20 links. First thing I look for... a good looking website. I want to know that these guys have it together. Not some fly by night, rinky dink company that slapped something together for the sake of making a buck. Once you find a company or two, research that company and see their claim to fame.
- Step 2
Check out their work - Many logo design companies have their portfolios online. You need to really research. Do they just say they are great designers and have a sloppy portfolio? Do they have just a couple of logos? Ask to see more in relation to your business. If they are seasoned designers, they will have a plethora of logos that they can show you. Compare their work with the works of others. Go with your taste in logos. If you like what you see in their portfolio, there is a good chance that they can provide what you need.
- Step 3
Know what you are getting - Make sure that it is clear as to the number of initial concepts you are getting as well as the number of revisions allowed for the price that you are paying. You want at least two concepts to choose from that you can tweak. Don't let them push something on you that you are not happy with. Also ask about the final delivery of the logo. What formats will you get the final logo? Make sure that they provide it to you in several print and web applicable formats like JPEG, TIFF, EPS and PDF. And make sure that you get it in high resolution as well as web ready. You also want to ask about the release of the rights of the logo once complete. Most importantly, make sure that you can get a hold of the company and speak to a human. Check that they have several ways to be contacted. There are many companies that go the extra mile to get you what you want so check for any guarantees of any sort. Most of the time you will find that they take pride in their work and want to make sure that the symbol that represents your company also ultimately represents them.
- Check out the company
- Make sure the proof is in the pudding - LOOK at their work
- Know what you are getting for the price that you are paying
- Make sure that the company has several ways to be contacted. Not just an 800 number. Those numbers could be directed anywhere in the world. Check for an email and a phone number with an actual area code, not just an 800 number.
