Need a logo? Go to Design Outpost

I know I said I’ve cut down on reading blogs and forums to free up more time towards working on my software project. And I have. But today, I discovered a site where I spent the better part of an hour pouring through: Design Outpost. It is a forum based site, but the forums are for people looking for a graphic designer to custom design a company logo or a website template for them. And the whole design process takes place right in the forums.

A customer pays a fee to post their logo design wants and needs in the forum. And designers respond with designs right in the forum. A few cycles of feedback and re-design take place, again right in the forum for all to witness. And finally, the customer decides on a designer to work with and the designer gets the fee, and I’m sure the website owners get a cut or something, but I didn’t look into the details of that.

Instead, I just marveled at the talented designers bidding for the customer’s work. And I especially liked seeing how the designs evolved based on the customer’s feedback. I’m not only in awe of the graphic designs I saw there, but also how I get to see the entire process out in the open. When I need a professionally designed logo in the future, Design Outpost is one of the first places I will consider.
