Great Little Service for Startups and VC’s! February 13, 2009

Get a custom logo for a fraction of the cost it would be from a traditional creative designer or marketing firm.

This service furnishes you you dozens of different graphic designs to look at and choose from among. It employs many talented designers competing for the top prize — you choosing their design. 

This will be very helpful for entrepreneurs, startups, small marketers, and even VC’s who are looking to advise their valuable startups on how to save money and speed the process.

Big marketing and graphic design firms will probably not be so ecstatic. But, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on which side of the coin you are on), it is the way of the ‘cloud’. Its a new game out there, and we need only look back a few years to the recording industry, MP3, iTunes and their ilk, to see the future and, hopefully, begin our adaptive strategies. 

And, think of this… for a pre-launch business plan or presentation, having a professional custom logo so quickly and economically is a great opportunity.

One caveat, this is only a logo. There is no design layout for an ID package, bus cards, letterhead, envelope, labels and the likes. You’ll need to go to a graphic design firm, or buy the extra service from LogoTournament for that.

And, you certainly are not getting a Branding Strategy, which, in the long run is going to be critical to your new enterprise. A reputatable marketer or branding firm (like Corebrand) would be best to provide you with that. 

If you have a smaller budget and would like some advice you can also contact me – info below.

Opportunity is good, isn’t it great there’s so much of it!
