Small change that made me smile

I needed a logo for one of my new projects. So yesterday I went to logotournament.com & submitted a contest for my logo. At logotournament.com a lot of designers from all over the world are gathered to design your logo. Starting rate to submit a contest is $250 and the higher, the more designers you will attract. So imagine, going to a design-studio and say after your briefing is done: my budget is 200 euro; this 200 euro was spent already during the intake, after they stopped laughing ofcourse :-)

I didn’t want to sit at the very bottom, so I submitted $350 for the winning logo & made my briefing. After 2 hours the first entry was there! And now 24 hours later 43 entries arrived. Ok, some are 1-size fits all, some are adjustments and ‘diap’ duplicates. But imagine, within 24 hours a normal design studio would have given you either the de-brief or the planning & in best case both. But in no-way they would have given you a first impression of a logo.

We all can debate if the logos are the best or not. Time & success will tell. For sure this is another small change in the industry & I smiled every time when I refreshed my page and discovered a new entry.
