Comments on: Crowdsourcing Our Logo: The Crowd has Spoken http://bbh-labs.com/crowdsourcing-our-logo-the-crowd-has-spoken Marketing Skunkworks - new models around technology, entertainment and brands Mon, 21 May 2012 10:44:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ronald http://bbh-labs.com/crowdsourcing-our-logo-the-crowd-has-spoken/comment-page-1#comment-10659 Ronald Mon, 18 Jul 2011 02:12:57 +0000 http://bbh-labs.com/?p=1790#comment-10659 Personally, I am quite on the fence regarding the use of a crowdsourcing site for a logo design. It is still a touchy issue for most designers who said that crowdsourcing is a no-no for obtaining a logo design. I have tried crowdsourcing before and I know the risks involved but it comes within the territory. But there are other no-frills logo design websites online such as www.logobee.com, www.logodesignstation.com, logoyes.com, etc. which are actually great in getting a professional logo design at a fraction of the price and minus the risks of crowdsourcing (plagiarism is one of them). Seeing that there are no consultation services, the price is significantly lower than that of conventional design firms. For instance, I have tried http://www.logodesignstation.com and the experience was indeed a positive one. I managed to get my business logo design at an affordable price and the turnaround time was great as well. Highly recommended. Although crowdsourcing for logo designs could be a bane for some, many find it to be a viable alternative to get a fast logo on the cheap. It all depends on the individual actually.

The other 'new' model to occur in the print design marketplace is www.inkd.com. It too has kicked up a storm, primarily it seems because the commission is 20% (for the designer, not the agent!). I'm still indecided on this. However I would say that simply because something is 'new', it doesn't make it morally right. Of course we must remember, if designers don't want to be involved in crowdsourcing or inkd etc, they don't have to be. And the same tools that enable these experimental marketplaces to emerge ALSO empower designers to make direct contact with their own market and do whatever they want.

Will there be a crowdsource market for ideas? Yes. I know this because we are already at work on one!

Of course, there are those who are forward-thinking and still chose not to crowdsource, which I think is fine as long as they demonstrate forward-thinking in their work. In any case, I appreciate this whole project - I believe it shows you put your money where your mouth is - and look forward to seeing the new logo :) Adam, if it counts for anything, the naysayers say what they do about the Labs logo crowdsourcing project because a) they probably didn’t have the option when they started up (which means they are ummm…slightly old thought-process-wise) or b) if they did, they didn’t think it counted for much, which means again, they are slightly old thought-process-wise.
