Shopping for affordable logo designs.

For a lot of people, this recession offers an opportunity to test the waters of self-employment by staring their own business. And one of the first order of business for any new business so to speak, is to create a brand distinctive enough as to stand out in a crowd. But for most aspiring businessmen, resources can be scarce, forcing to do with less. With that in mind, the Wall Street Journal tested four different design companies to see which one would come with the best logo design for an imaginary company for less than $15o.
The companies involved in the test were LogoDesign Creation.com, The Logo Co.net, LogoDesignGuru.com and LogoLoft.com.
According to the test, the "Superior Logo Package" from LogoDesign Creation.com priced at $67, was the the best value. Though one potential source of problems could arise from the fact that the company is based in Malaysia and does not have a customer-service number even though its founder is quoted as saying that customer-service is available via Skype.
Both LogoDesignGuru.com and LogoLoft.com offer $99 packages that allow only one design or concept and one revision .
The fourth and last company tested, TheLogo Co has the most expensive package, at $149. It include six different initial concepts with six different designers responsible for each one of them. For that reason and many others, the WSJ deemed that option well worth it.
