New company logo creation

[GrantMeThePower]

My buddy is starting an investment and development company and needs a logo created for it. Anyone here know of good sites or good people to do that kind of work?

Thanks

You get what you pay for with this stuff. A decent logo might be simple, but it takes a lot of knowhow to make an effective one. Don't think you're going to get anything good for $500.

I despise 99designs. That site, while good for the employers, is horrible for graphic designers such as myself. It's a clusterfuck of good and bad designs, and there are regularly 100+ designs for a single project.

I've also done a few logos and identity materials myself... check out my website in my sig. Maybe your buddy wants to hire me?

Let us know what you go with, I'm in the market for a logo too.

www.crowdspring.com is another.
I'm a designer myself, but havent had the time or motivation to contribute to these sites.

Your brother works for Gomedia? That's awesome!

Yes, he is one of the three owners of the company. I am surprised at how well known they are now.

That's so awesome. I've been following their work and using the stuff in their Arsenal for a while now.

That is awesome. Their stuff is great, I am very jealous of their skills LOL
