  • DesignCrowd Review

    After a few revisions and even switching designers I was still not happy with the quality of work. I was looking for a professional A board for my company and sent examples of what I want. After growing impatient with the designs I asked for a refund, but they said they could do a partial refund. I am very disappointed with this company. Frankly I only lost time and money.

    Want to spend hours designing a logo and have it denied by the design crowd team and ban your account for 6 months? Then this is the site for you! Not only do they deny your design before the client can review it, they leave no feedback at all! If they don't think your design is up to that individual reviewing its standard, they close your account for 6 months. I would highly recommend this site to anyone who wants their time wasted and would like a big slap in the face.
    Challenging, everyday I find new contests to participate and if there are any communication problems with Contest Holders, the support team is always eager to help with fast, friendly and cooperative actions. I'm working as a solo Freelancer since 2007, used various websites, but DesignCrowd has been the best of them all. I'll be always ready to learn and master all of my skills to help them provide the best options possible to all of their customers looking for original logo artwork. Thanks for having me! Tip for consumers:Non guaranteed contests-check the project description to be sure that the Contest Holder is really invested on the project.

    I paid for the package to receive designs from 3 different designers. The designs were pitiful and poorly done. It was truly a joke what was provided. I attempted to provide feedback and have the design altered, but it was pointless as there was so little to start with. I asked for my money back, thinking it was a money back guarantee. Turns out it is NOT a money back guarantee. They are only refunding $159 and withholding $80 for fees that they claim are not refundable. BEWARE! Do not use Design Crowd. Tip for consumers:They indicate is is a money back guarantee which is not true! They withhold $80 in "fees" Products used:logo design. Service Value Returns Quality
    Don't work with this company. I have one designer pose as an employee and con me into spending more money on a design. Of three projects I signed up for 2 of them contain copyrighten images. I am sure the 3rd does too I've just not found out about it yet. Overall a horrible experience. Don't use them.
    Luego de subir 4 o 5 diseños, todo esto luego de enviarte 2 correos de verificación por cada logo que envías (intensos), uno de watchlist y otro verificando que estás participando, te banean por siempre y así de fácil te roban las ideas y hasta información personal. Luego vienen aquí a ver qué escribes y te acusan de frustrado y de que tú eres el que no sirve. Racistas, sin creatividad. Gracias por desearme el bien fuera de su circo, que lindo detalle de personas tan miserables. Tip for consumers:No lo usen, simplemente corran muy rápido en dirección contraria tanto si eres diseñador o cliente. Si eres cliente es aún peor porque te hacen pagar regalías y eso incrementa el valor del servicio si pagan 150$ cada elemento extra puede agregar 50$ y eso sin contar impuestos y otras muchas tonterías de ladrón, eso empeora el hecho de que los briefs pueden ser inventados por ellos Products used:Logo designer Service Value Shipping Returns Quality

    They send job invitations for a fee of $ 20 regardless of the outcome of the competition, but in fact you will never get that money. You're not even sure when you work on 1-on-1 project, and then you won't get paid if the client doesn't approve, even though they've been using your design for a year. The platform has many drawbacks. Terrible service!
    I regret to find this service. The process to get started is simple. I received a single "design" which is worse than free clipart. I complained and requested a refund instead they extended the deadline and invited more "designers". (they refused to make a refund because I "guaranteed" my project and designers already "invested" their time. I don't know what time was invested to this single poor design, probably couple minutes and I suppose to pay 170euro for this truly disgrace) So I didn't receive any even lowest appropriate design nor my money back Service Value Shipping Returns Quality
    I'm an experienced designer and I've been ban after submitting 3 designs. I've got an email saying that my work didn't meet the quality requirements. I made sure that my logo meets all requirements given by the contest holder and still got banned. I can't even log in to my account and delete my personal infos which is totally unethical and that's probably why they exist to "steal personal informations". I'm quite sure they post fake projects brief. I will post my design for you to tell me if the quality is that poor and please consider that i had to respect the brief and use their colors "a minimal logo for a social media app".Run away from designcrowd as fast as you can.

    The designers who did work on a simple error page design... was so bad!. It looked like he used paint in windows or something. A tool used to scrap everything together. Obvious that the 'designer' was some amateur with actually no design skills at AII. So if you are a professional looking to get work done by a professional stay away from this platform. They have good SEO & SEA so rate pretty high on google search don't fall for it, like I did!

    Save your money, time, and frustration. This company is very frustrating. They do not offer customer service by phone, UNLESS YOU PAY EXTRA. They don't offer you privacy on your job, UNLESS YOU PAY EXTRA. When you get inferior work/designs they don't refund much of what you paid. MY PHONE STARTED RINGING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Calls from designers around the world who saw my contest online. What company does this? Shouldn't my information be private? Shouldn't only their registered designers have access? I will stick with 99Designs. Tip for consumers:I have the receipt and tried to upload it several times. I spent over $673. I can email. Products used:Nothing was usable... Service Value Quality
    As many have said before if you decide to create an account as a designer you get bundled into a verification process which seems like its a bot or if not someone ticking boxes on a design but 'luckily' their design gods of a quality team verified my account. I can't say whether or not new designers coming onto the platform would be better but some of the designs currently are horrible, some are copied straight from a Google search, some are from logo generation websites, some are just so bad or off brief that it amazes me they passed their quality checks. The worst part of all is some designs break copyright law but win contests without DesignCrowd (DC) ever checking it over before paying out, if you are a business owner using DC please make sure you check designs are ORIGINAL before choosing them. I personally only ever had one experience with DC's support team and that was when a business owner didn't understand that all the relevant files they wanted had been put into one single folder and thought I was trying to rip them off (Don't worry I wasn't) DC's support team without checking asked, no wait, DEMANDED I hand over the files, once I explained to the support team member it was all in one and everything was there I never heard from them again not even a confirmation message to show they checked. Not the worst dealings I've had in my time but also not the best - the team member came across as rude and impolite. Dealing with clients / business owners was probably the easiest part of this whole process most were friendly, easy to deal with and some even skipped DC and emailed me off site to do more work. I will say the pricing is very low, not to mention if a client pays for a design in anything other than pounds (GBP) I would often lose money due to the conversion rates, this made going for any jobs not based in the UK a chore specially if the client wants a few revisions and I found myself skipping over jobs from other countries. If you are looking at DC as being anything other than a way of developing your skills with the different briefs and potentially getting some money for the practice then you'll be disappointed, DC is NOT a viable alternative for a full time job. Overall if you are a designer I'd say to avoid DesignCrowd; the prices are low, an almost non-existent support staff, briefs vary from being extremely detailed to a barren wasteland of information and even if you read this and decide to give it a go please only use it as a way to sharpen your skills don't go quitting your job to make this your main source of income its not that kind of site.
    I joined designcrowd as a designer and I've had all my designs rejected by the Quality Team. Poor design or execution or some nonsense like that. All I know is that these people steal designs, tell you it got rejected and tell you to design a new one, steal that one too and give the clients the sloppiest ones while keeping the logos to be recycled later. Why do you think they explicitly state that no watermarks are allowed? Absolutely scam of a website. Stay away for your sanity. Tip for consumers:Don't use it. Service Value Shipping Returns Quality
    They don't deserve 1 star... I've been a professional designer for over 15 years. My account was created for something fun for me to do on the side. I was flagged and banned for creating high end illustrated work from scratch (followed all guidelines). It felt that I was banned because the quality I submitted was too good for them to offer to the client. They stated this was because I used stock images which just isn't true as all my work was illustrated and I can prove it. After reading reviews, it seems that they ban great designers and have their team members have priority over these contests. I have no idea what they're doing with my work that I submitted either.
    I had a terrible experince here, a bad review prevented me submitting new work for a fixed time and the rating system is 1-5 given a quality rating far below what would be fair. As a designer your not allowed to ask the client what they dislike or to adjust/revise. Its a hot mess. Tip for consumers:I deleted my account so cannot submit the profile proof - my review is based upon the support emails received when I requested they vet the terrible review I had been given, specifically for not following the brief, having only worked on a very small amount of projects (3) I felt the review was unfair. They were unwilling to do anything about it or lift the restrictions it placed on my account. Products used:I was a registered designer
    As a new designer to this platform DesignCrowd makes it extremely difficult to get a design account verified. The verification process is extremely vague and done by their so-called "qualification team" which I believe are bots that don't even provide a decent answer for declining artwork just a two or three word decline statement like "poor execution". I feel like I wasted my time as the client never got a chance to review my designs.
    I commissioned DesignCrowd to design me a very simple logo for a 42mm round sticker according to my brief. After reading their marketing material on the website, I paid $229 upfront with a high expectation of simple yet professional output. The designs that I received were basically auto generated generic images and font that you do yourself on an any logo generator website for a fraction of the cost or even for free. I objected strongly in their limp auto generated " Customer Survey" and was contacted shortly thereafter by one of their customer service reps. Because I had opted for their higher level professional service in "attracting the Best Designers " through choosing the non refundable option, I was not due a refund. I strongly objected again, repeating the fact that their design work was not of a professional standard. I demanded my $229 back and The rep disappeared. So I forwarded my email to the CEO. He's on YouTube proselyting about what a smart savvy guy he is. It turns out, his email is non contactable and their phone number is not answered. Anyway, the rep was replaced by a snappy middle manager who said they would make an "exception" for me and give me a refund. Minus $95 for their outsourcing of the work. I can only presume that their cheap robot programs work for money. Next time I'm in Sydney I'll be paying these clowns a visit. These guys are total rip-off artists. Don't waste a penny with them.

    This is very funny as I am a part of multiple designer networks where admissions to some took months of interviews, have my business and worked 5 years in the industry and my account was not verified due to "low quality of designs". And I just wanted to design on the side not for money but for fun and needed additional briefs haha. Well, I know design is subjective, but their website looks like it was designed in 2005 and most of the designs accepted would not be accepted by any serious design studio, so I just find it funny that they seem to value lack of quality on their selection team.

    I've been trying to reply to the briefs for over a month. Every time I try to land on any URL within the site, I'm given a 403 error. I've tried this with and without a VPN. EDIT 05/04/2023: Since my last review, their support has been in contact with me. My rotating VPN wasn't supported by the site, and they recommended that I not use it. A few weeks later, however, I see that it now works just fine, telling me they've since fixed the problem site-wide. That's more to say for a lot of other businesses imo. If I had to give any other critique of the actual service, I'd say there's a missed opportunity by not sorting the information in a more calculated way. There are likely designers of every kind of background being solicited on there, yet the customer isn't really clear on which one in particular. They actually need. There doesn't seem to be a good way for designers to filter, and I imagine that's similar on the client's side. Service Value
    Design crowd, they have a quality standard that consists about? Their great website WITHOUT AN SINGLE ERROR of course (lie). Those guys are pathetics and stupid, also i made 2, i`ve say 2, golden ration logo with a close study and get rejected, do not ever spend your time there, stupid site, with stupid people $#*! them
    Unfortunately I did not do my due diligence on this service. The process to set up and get started is simple. I provided a ton of guidance to the designers and received total crap. You can Google better free clip art. I complained and they extended the timeframe and invited more "designers". Still crap. So I did not pay much and did not have high expectations, but they still did not meet those low expectations. I think they need to charge significantly more and do away with the entry level service.
