"Delivers results but doesn't impress."

4/5

Describe the project or task 99Designs helped with:

I have used 99designs twice so far and it has delivered the expected results but it hasn't really impressed me. The level of creativity and innovation of the designers involved in the contests in the lowest level package, that costs $299 for a logo, is very minimal. I have used this platform to create business logos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 99Designs?

The friendly usability of the platform is the upside of the product. It's extremely straight forward, you can edit your brief details at anytime, and message the entire list of designers working on your contest at once, as well as individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 99Designs?

I dislike the fact that the more feedback you provide, the less variety you get in the design options. The designers start copying the designs that you say you like and all designs start looking much like each other because they ultimately want to win the contest so they get paid. This removes the surprise element and I personally think that it defeats the purpose of having multiple designers working on your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering 99Designs:

If you are looking for an outstanding logo for you brand that will add value and you will be truly happy with, don't choose the lowest level package. I can't confirm that the more expensive options will deliver a much better result but from my personal experience, the lowest level package will deliver a professional looking logo but yet not impressive.
