logo designers on fiverr are so bad
 

I know that you pay what you get for, but I hired a bunch of designers to give me some inspiration, and I was curious

Let's just say that they are all RUBBISH

some of them are hilarious.. most of them dont even follow what you ask them to do, some look like they are done in paint

one guy said.. sir what font logo do you want?

I said.. you pick, your the designer

then he said.. whats your favourite colour ( I already told him to check the website for colour scheme ) anyway, he ended up finishing it, and had the cheek to ask me " sir i want maximum $10 for this logo " hahaha

This thread needs some examples!

My 'Shit' logo... You can have that for free :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

you are too kind, can I have the source files or do you require a tip?

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

what is it with designers and putting that stupid arrow into everything, especially when its gay themed?

I agreeeeeee

It really gives me great pains as a digital artist, to see my profession reduced to "make me a logo for $5".

You're right.... you get what you pay for. People who are serious about what they want, and serious about design will stay out of that cesspool.

if only there had been some clue that a $5 logo would not be up to standard...

That looks VERY Pan-Cultural Queer
All the symbolism of a 10 year old ...

Contact " Dammsexy " on this board you will not be disapointed.
Note he have raise his rates From US Dollars to EURO but so far the best i have get to deal with. Make sure to confirm with him the rates before make an order. :thumbsup

Another one upwork AKA odesk you can find some good one but you have to be patience and never accept the first 2 designs they send you . : )

good luck :thumbsup

I'm using my phone so I can't search users. Does this dammsexy have a portfolio?

Another from Fiverr

That's awesome! Lol. Don't they show examples of past work first?

Go to settings > Request desktop site.

Damnsexy makes good flash banners. Not so much logos. Although maybe you have seen somthing I haven't?

Here we go https://gfy.com/sell-and-buy-forum/11...d-banners.html

What about you email him and ask him if he can do it ????
Many banner designer create logo too.. Anyway it cost you nothing to ask him :winkwink:
In my book he have a good rates for budget wise and the quality have always been there in my opinion :pimp . And more important Custumer service top notch :thumbsup

i bought a logo on fiverr and im a designer so when i got the logo i was pissed i talked to the admin of the site and got my money back and the guys account closed he took a picture of a hat online and put lettering next to it on MS Paint i found the original logo on google screen shot and screen shot it was the worst job i've ever seen , glad i got his account closed tho

i told fiver im going to make several fake accounts and make these "Premium Logos" for others just like he did me

I'll ask him.thanks. lets face it. He can't do worse than above haha

what you want for $5?

Oh man i have been through some funny stuff during my last year with those designer lol ... i can tell you that. Also going cheap not always the best way to get Your expected result but if your on budget just looking around and ask around would be your best bet.

:thumbsup

I bought a load. I have 25 gay blogs and a simple text logo to make them unique is what I was after. Hopefully giving me some inspiration too. I've had good results off one guy in past and wasn't expecting much. This guy took the biscuit though

Just imagine the other side of the coin. Some shithead in a 3rd world country is getting $3.80 after fees and he is like, wow... I can feed my family for a month on that!

He wanted to double his money too! Had the cheek to ask for 10 dollars!

We use Fiverr ALOT. Yes most of them are crap, but there is always a gem in there and you just need to find them. Here is what we do:

Select 5 designers at one time and hire them at the basic 5 USD rate. We send them as much information as possible: preferred colors, shapes, samples of other logos we might like, description of who the audience is, etc. We also advise them that we are hiring several of them for the single purpose of showing us their absolutely best concept, and that if we like what we see, we will pay 50 USD for a complete package: unlimited revisions, original source file, and all the file formats.

What do we get back. 3 out of 5 is pure crap, and that is okay. Its the 2 out of 5 we are looking for. Sometimes one designer hits it on the nail near perfect, and often it leads to one design that is not quite right, but it provides inspiration. Using that one concept, we ask for a revision from the designer who offered it, but we also go out hire 3 to 5 more designers to improve that one concept.

In the end a single logo will cost us about 75 to 100 USD but we had several creative minds contribute to the process. :2 cents:

Search for milkshake on this forum, he has done many great looking designs for me.

found him, seen him before

:1orglaugh

although, better than mrmister paid for on fiver :thumbsup

LMAO good one GS :thumbsup

Very well said & very smart :)
I like the way you get around this to get your expected result. :thumbsup .

it is, I admit haha

It would have been better, but I don't know how to skew or a few other things in GIMP.. :(

Post link to his profile please.

It's all relative to what you want.
I have bought 3 logos from fiverr, two have been ok and I used them and one was rubbish and I fucked off the project because of it.
When I needed a GOOD logo done my professionals with multiple revisions I paid £180 for it. I am pretty happy with it.

wow. You could not have picked someone worse. The guy has 1 fucking review :1orglaugh

edit: plus he has stolen designs as examples! Great success! How you selected this obvious idiot out of hundreds of fiverr designers is great skill though :1orglaugh

I put out a gig offer and hired a lot of them, I saw his examples and it probably didn't click that they could of been stolen, but hey, it's only a fiver

You can have my logo free if that helps. :upsidedow

Why did you give him a good review?

They mastered MS paint.

Logos & banners
 

I found Jo Webart on this forum. Had several banners done from rough ideas. Was happy to make changes, until I thought it was right. Couldn't beat the price. Been a few years, but I think I paid $50 for each.
Going to use again for some sites I'm developing.

Fiverr can be good if used correctly. In most cases the 5$ is just the introductory work... getting your gig accepted, etc. If you want a designer on fiverr to actually do something, you'll probably have to pay at least 10-20$ more.

I shotgunned a number of top Fiverr designers and found one that is AMAZING, so I tip her well. Start with the ones with the most reviews.

We wish this was true ... the reviews have zero value unless you also see the artwork the buyer approved. Each message I get has the seller begging for 5 Stars. I once rated a designer that provided good work at 4 Stars, and she went nuts, begging me repeatedly to change the review to 5 Stars because she was losing work.

Check out these people: https://www.fiverr.com/idesigners

13679 Reviews at 5 Stars -> these folks were the absolute worst from all our experience with Fiverr.

I personally submitted our mockup (mosaic map of Mexico) done in "Paint" with instructions to repeat what we did but with pro tools. They returned a week later with something completely different. No map, no mosaic pattern, not even the same colors. There was no misunderstand. They simply didn't follow the instructions. 4 requests for revision where made, each time asking for the same thing.
