99 Designs!

It has been a while since my last post (again) and I apologise. I am still learning to draw the line between work and personal projects. I use to think the two could never be mixed, but over the last few weeks I beginning to learn otherwise.


Today I would like to showcase a design site I used for a project at work. 99 Designs is a an amazing little website that 'crowd sources' your design needs.  Basically the way it works is that you write your design brief, submit it on the website,  99 Designs runs a competition and a whole bunch of designers submit logos (over the course of 3/7 day competition) for your approval. You then get the opportunity to pick your favorite as the winner.





How awesome is that? Not only did we have the choice of picking from over 25 design submissions over the course of three days, we were able to provide instant feedback to our designers to make sure the logos were exactly what we wanted.

Here are some examples of the sort of designs generated through the website:

   

The next time you need a logo designed stat. Use them. I definitely recommend them.
