In the last 5 years, we have seen a prolific growth in the Internet industry. Every conceivable field of business has seen the advantages the internet has to offer. One of these industries is logo design , which interestingly is considered to be the fastest growing in the world. You can now order any type of design from the comforts of your home or office and everything is presented to you in a timely manner.
With every moral, prosperous company out there - there are plenty just waiting to take advantage of you.
Along with the proliferation of the Internet, there is a problem of selecting the right logo design company.
Right now, there are thousands of logo design companies on the internet filled with extensive online samples and portfolios. The number-one resource for on-line logo design customers is through the use of Web searches. Unfortunately, some people have become victims of fraud or poor quality of service.
Some companies may bedealing with more then one business, so they would prefer to have a more generic image, but still you can make it look more technological by implementing straight lines in combination with curves, or make it more corporate with more proportional, symmetrical and/or geometrical shapes.
How you can avoid this kind of situation is asking yourself a few key questions:
•Does the company have on-site designers?
•Are they a company that outsources their work?
It also happens that you may see a web site without the proper contact information. You should definitely red-flag a site like this. Companies without the proper contact information (phone number, address etc..) are probably hiding their true address either because they don`t want the client to think that they are local and are wishing to misrepresent their original location, or they may not even have an address at all and could be phony company.
It is also important to check address and phone numbers so you don't visit the same company twice. Some online logo design companies have more than one different web site and do not inform their clients about it. A way to detect that everything is on the level is by looking at their contact information and checking if it matches your previous records.
Some simple points should to be taken in consideration:
•Check the contact information
•Make sure the contact information matches the information in your records
•Contact the company about the origin of the work (is it designed in-house or is it outsourced?)
