As more and more businesses have sprung up across the globe, the demand for logo design has also kept growing. As you start surfing the web, you will come across quite a number of websites where you can host your own logo contest, and choose the logo that you like the most by paying a certain amount of money. It is so simple, nah?
So, what sets Logo Arena apart from the other logo design websites? Let us get into some finer details.
Quality of designers :
Some website can boast of 15000 designers, but then, anybody can join there as a designer In Logo Arena, any designer who wants to participate there needs to submit his / her portfolio of designs, which is thoroughly scrutinized. Only the best amongst the lot get the go ahead. Hence, the designers who are part of the Logo Arena community are hand picked, and hence the level of work and the quality are of the highest standards. So, 50 entries in a contest held at Logo Arena is much richer in quality of work and standard as compared to 150 in another website.
Blind Phase :
The first 36 hours of the contest is the blind phase, where participating designers cannot see other entries. This is the time when a wide variety of ideas and concepts can develop independently. This is a unique feature at Logo Arena. There are some websites, where the contests are totally blind from start to finish, but in those, the participating designers sometimes fail to understand the requirements and the preference of the contest holder, and which direction to take. These blind contests also run the risk of copyrighted designs, stock imagery or clip arts being selected as the winning design by the contest holder.
Hidden top 10 ranking system :
There are some websites, where there are numerical ranking, whereas in other sites, the contest holder only gives star ratings (5 star being the highest rated). Some might argue that in numerically ranked contests, the participating designers tend to copy the 1st ranked entry, which leads to similar concepts being submitted and the contest holder ends up with less variety of designs to choose from at the end. From the designer’s point of view, imagine you are one of the, say, ten designers with 5 stars rating, and a long list of iterations being asked by the contest holder on the last day of the contest; you are confused with your chances of winning, and do not know whether you should spend that quality time on another contest..! Logo Arena takes care of both these issues in a unique way. The numerical rankings of all the entries are hidden to the participating designers. But, to get the right direction of the contest holder holder’s preferences, the top 10 rankings are highlighted, without their individual number being visible to the participants.
Highest standards of ethics :
Logo Arena has always maintained the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. Designers found copying other designers are brought to justice in the logo court, where the losing designer gets a strike. But, if a designer is found using clip arts or stock imagery, he / she is permanently banned from the website, thus taking the clients into confidence as regards to the value for their money, and sending strong signals to the designers that there will be no compromise on ethics, which is not so strictly followed in other websites.
So, armed with these unique features at Logo Arena, all you need to do after starting a contest at Logo Arena, is to provide regular feedback to the participating designers, and rank the entries on a daily basis. And, I am confident that you will more than happy to select the best logo that exceeds all your expectations, as evident from the testimonials from a large number of satisfied clients at Logo Arena.
So, what are you thinking? Welcome to Logo Arena, where the world’s most talented community of designers are waiting to interact with you to deliver you that logo that you are looking for..!
