I am familiar with a lot of the outsourcing and freelancer sites as I use a lot of external help for work related projects. I don’t mind using them, I’ve done business with some very talented people for a much nicer fee than if I went closer to home. It’s a bit hit and miss sometimes though but for the cost of a few hundred dollars I find that I can get a few example images/logos/websites to use to pull the client over the edge and commit to getting the work done by my company.
I thought I’d try an experiment here to see what kind of talent browses past this blog. Read the description below and if you are familiar with designing logos or corporate images, leave a comment or contact me with a low resolution image of your design and the best one will receive the job and payment.
Logo Design Tender
Budget: up to 150 USD
Description: Take the image below and use it as a basis for creating a logo with a technical/modern/computer look. The image will be used as a logo on company stationary, online and in promotional literature. The image will need to be provided in 300dpi format as JPEG, PSD or PNG.
Ideas:
- Take the image and mold it to a shield
- Make half the image in wireframe
- Render the image as 3d at an angle
- All of the above
Provided Artwork:
Terms & Conditions:
This is just an experiment (hence the sub 200$ budget) to see what ideas people can come up with, the best logo may be used as a corporate image on stationary or online, it depends on how good it is!. If none of the images are considered worthy of being used, the best one will receive a ‘prize’ of 50 USD as a consolation. The cost of your image may be used as a factor in deciding the winner. If your image is deemed the winner and you receive payment, the image will be considered as sold and owned by the payer (as with normal outsourcing/freelance work).
Please use the contact form or leave a comment below with a URL to your low resolution image (to prevent me or others from stealing your image without paying!) and your bid in US Dollars
good luck!

I am really glad you have failed in this request – if you want someone to do it, view their portfolio and pay their price then they will produce work for you.
Asking designers to do it for free in the hope that ‘you’ll pay the best one’ is ludicrous. Judging by the quality of your site you won’t even know which one is the best.

james: you know, I’m glad too. I did go the way of checking portfolios and in the end, chose a good designer. It was time consuming but I learned a lot about the difference between what people say they can do and what they can actually do!
this is quite an old post, I’m curious to how you got here…
