We at shopfordesigns.com have been telling our buyers that when they post a logo or graphic design contest they should regularly visit their contest page, post ratings, put comments and give directions to designers regarding what they are looking for. Every designer comes up with a concept based on what he or she thinks is right. But as a buyer, the contest holder is the best judge about the vision and mission statements of his business and the kind of artwork he or she needs.
After a design contest is live at shopfordesigns, designers start posting their concepts. Now it is on the buyer to guide the designers with the colour scheme, catchline, concept and other aspects of design.
To help our contest holders or buyers with these ratings and comment posting, one of our users have come up with an informative and exciting video. He has requested us to post the video at our blog and here it is :

Some weeks back our client David Kavanagh sent us an email and asked if it is possible to post a logo design contest and not let one designer see others’ submissions. Well it is when the idea of “secret ballot” came to our mind. We thought that the idea was pretty good as secret ballot will make every designer think creatively and not get influenced or inspired by other designer’s designs.
We went back to our drawing board and started designing what we call secret ballot for contest holders or buyers. They can now post a logo design contest or a webpage design contest and not let one designer see the submissions of other designers.
I am generally on the internet for about 14 to 16 hours a day. Various logos have been my area of interest since the last 10 years or so. I do not know if I can call myself a logo expert but people won’t object if I say that I have fair exposure in logo design.
During my quest for best logo designs, I have come across some great logos and some awefully ill designed logos that break all barriers and norms of logo design dont’s.
So in a nutshell I would like to advice you to steer clear from naive designers who claim to make great logos for peanuts for your brand. Remember my friend there is nothing called a “Free Lunch” in this world. Good things always come for a price.
