Comments on: Crowdsourcing vs. Traditional Design: The Results http://www.markhorner.net/2010/07/14/crowdsourcing-vs-traditional-design-the-results/ A blog about mixing technology, education, openness, and experience in South Africa.

I, for one, am still on the fence regarding crowdsourcing. It is still a touchy issue for most designers who said that crowdsourcing is a no-no for obtaining a logo design or in this case a cover design. I have tried crowdsourcing before and I know the risks involved but it comes with the territory. But there are other no-frills logo design websites online such as logobee.com, logodesignstation.com, logoyes.com, etc. which are actually great in getting a professional logo design at a fraction of the price. Seeing that there are no consultation services, the price is significantly lower than that of conventional design firms. For instance, I have tried 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. For instance, the results you posted from getting the design done from 99designs is amazing even better than the previous one. Interesting article. I, for one, am still on the fence
