It’s the market, if the customer is happy with this kind of Logo then it’s worth $50…

50dollarlogo celebrate their 500th customer in 8 years (that’s 500 people paid $50 each, not 500 logo design ‘projects’ completed). That makes us (them) $50 x 500 = $25,000 or a little bit more than $3,000 a year. If the owner lives in Africa, Asia or Latil America, this is anywhere from decent to good money (provided we are talking about a one-man-show business). If the owner lives in any developed country, it simply does not worth the trouble staying in business. Any manual worker (even part-time) is making more than $3,000 a year (minus expenses).

Dreadful service. The logo that 50 dollar logo produced looks like a child designed it, in fact worse as some kids can draw. $50 is not cheap when its money wasted on something so useless.

Also beware they offer “100% money back guarantee” – this is a lie..4 months on and over 10 emails back and forth and nothing back. AVOID!!!

50dollarlogo, Elance and all the rest of these abominable crowdsourcing sites all prove one thing… Globalization absolutely FUCKING SUCKS!!! Hell, I think the internet has destroyed the entire field but that’s another story…

This is really interesting, but I have some issues with it. If college grads designing new products and aspiring designers with little professional experience cannot get hired in their field, or their product taken seriously, how can they become good at their work? I am all for some people just having a talent, or a gift, but the Internet is amazing because it is accessible to literally everyone, so grouping people into categories and deeming them as not real artists is kind of harsh. I would much rather choose a design, or put my faith into the hands of a budding graphic designer, rather than wasting $50 on a robot service… interesting, stuff though.

Sure wish I had found this before I ordered from ShiftyDollarLogo.com. I gave them two shots at it, didn’t like their work and then asked for a refund. They wanted to put a “new team” on my project but I declined. Two weeks later I followed up and asked about the refund again. They wanted to give me one last chance to use them and I again declined. It’s now been three weeks and “Dina” (her names keeps morphing) told me she would look into my refund “shortly.” I’ll simply let my credit card company handle it by filing a dispute. I hired a real design company for my logo and really like the new logo.

I wish I would have read this a week ago. I contacted them to prepare a logo for my new business. I was contacted immediately letting me know they would not start my order until it was paid in full. I informed them it was. Once I received my order, I had to log on using a user name and password that I never created before that time. I have emailed twice and called asking for my user name and password. Still waiting. Could this be a stall tactic? We will see.
