Good post. I HIGHLY recommend NOT USING designcontest.com. Horrible designs, horrible experience, just plain BAD! DO NOT USE THEM!

Steve, I provided a positive review for LogoDesignCreation which they posted here as a comment from me. While the English got mucked up a bit as they tweaked my review into a post, it is how I felt.

I’m assuming your tsking at the way it was posted, and I’m right there with you. Sigh.

Great Man! Nice post. I must say you have done very well. Retweeted this post everywhere. Will also share this post on LinkedIn so people should get more awareness regarding this.

[...] ’striking’ logo similarities. Maybe Mr. Nigel Holland was unfortunate enough to read “unbiased reviews” before hiring his logo company. Meh, bad luck, buddy! – Daily [...]

What an interesting analyzation! I’ve been lucky to stumble upon LogoDesignCreation.com online, and I have to say I’m truly satisfied with the work they had put, into creating my logo designs. They are really amazing at translating the client’s written ideas into a visual concept. We’ve worked with other (much more expensive, much slower) design shops and went through endless iterations of “no, that’s not what we’re saying.” LogoDesignCreation not only interpreted our words into the perfect logo for our application, they did it on the FIRST design. That initial concept far exceeded what we expected and we had no changes whatsoever to make. Communications was fast, friendly, and helpful. Turnaround time was amazing. In all, we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service, the value, and the talent. LogoDesignCreation will have all of our future logo projects.

I’ve searched for logo site reviews before, and it was pretty easy to tell that they were affiliate schemes. How can I trust a company that knowing allows (or as you pointed out, even facilitates/participates in) dishonest marketing practices?

There’s nothing inherently wrong with affiliate marketing, but masquerading as an unbiased review isn’t just wrong, it’s illegal. New laws regarding affiliate marketing clearly state that if renumeration (commission) is provided, it must be clearly disclosed.

Anyway, this post will certainly result in my company using your service.

******* is the worst online experience of my life. The designs that were given to me did not reflect the expertise of any examples that were provided on the site. Further, when you purchase the executive package which has unlimited revisions, its not actually unlimited. Their customer service policy is bait in switch at its best. I was so unsatisfied that I stopped working with them, but they unfortunately kept the money.

Thank you for writing this article. Having done business with both ****** and The Logo Factory, in my experience, the quality of work done by the later of the two companies has been outstanding while the former is simply a fraud. They will take your money even without completing a concept. Big mistake on my part in being swayed by sketchy reviews. I will never stray from the The Logo Factory again. They have performed excellent, original, quality work for me on numerous occasions.
