Good place to host a logo design contest?

1 pointyasmina2 comments

Does anyone on this forum have any good experiences in hosting a logo design contest? If so, which site, or sites, are the best? Also, does anyone have any advice on what to consider when trying to decide on the winning logo design?

Bleh, task it to a designer direct, don't spec it out to a load of half-arsed incompetents.

There's a lot more to logo and brand design than just putting together a pretty picture. Most competent and capable designers would have nothing to do with such contests, unless there's some alternate reasoning (it's simply fun / it's for charity / etc)

Put it this way — how many decent brands do you know of that have come out of this selection format?
