AuthorRobin Brown, Graphic Design Associate Because the designers on a crowdsourcing website only get paid if their logo is chosen as the final design, they don’t have a lot of time to commit to each logo design. Instead, they submit similar designs to multiple companies while using common or free images and graphics instead of taking the time to create custom ones. A reputable digital marketing agency takes the time to research your industry and come up with appropriate solutions, whereas a designer who only has a 1/30 or 1/100 chance at getting paid for their work does not have the time to take these steps. Your Branding Is An InvestmentSimilarly to how you would hire an agency to create a custom website for you and are willing to pay more for this experience, a logo is an in-depth investment. You want to ensure that you are working closely with the designer every step of the way and that each element of your brand is unique to your business needs and goals. Your logo design is a process and it’s one that you should be a part of. Too Many Choices with No Professional GuidanceWhile it may be true that crowdsourcing a logo will provide you with more initial logo options, you won't get the personalized guidance that comes with working with an agency. Yes, it can be helpful to ask friends, family, and co-workers for their opinions about initial concepts, but it’s even more valuable to have the input of a professional designer. A professional designer can help you answer questions about color schemes, font choices, industry trends, and can help you choose a unique logo concept that will withstand the test of time. Designers should be invested in your brand personality, goals, and vision. After Logo CompletionAfter your logo is completed, it’s helpful to have a designer you feel comfortable working with, who has experience with your brand and understands your goals. A huge component of brand identity is consistency across channels. Working with a professional agency to design your logo allows for more collaboration between other staff members or designers to better capture the look and feel of your brand identity. 4 BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH AN AGENCY FOR DESIGN1. Unique Logo You can feel confident that your logo is 100% unique to your brand and has been created after extensive industry research, knowledge of design trends, and is an appropriate solution to representing your company visually. 2. Professional Guidance A digital marketing agency can provide you with well-rounded insight to help you make choices about color schemes, fonts, and layout while taking your feedback and ideas into consideration. 3.
