First off, if you have not visited the homepage recently because you subscribe to site updates through an RSS reader, I invite you to come by the site and check it out. You’ll notice a brand new design for the site as well as a new logo. If you have been to the site, what do you think?
Part of redesigning this website was also to get a new logo created. Right about the time I was thinking about working on a theme for Dorm Room Biz, I got an email from someone within the LogoInn.com logo design service. They were offering a free logo design, so I knew I could not pass this opportunity up. This takes us all the way back to March. About 2 months is a very long development time, but most of the delays were on my side of the action and not on the designers side.
So, how was the process you’re wondering? It was good and pretty normal; basically as I suspected it to be. I’ve worked with many web and graphic designers over the years and pretty much new what to expect. I was emailed a small logo design questionairre which had different questions such as the style of logo I like, what colors I wanted the logo to have, etc. So after going back and forth for a few emails, we finaly got the details laid out and were ready to hit the ground running.
The logos that I was first shown were along the lines of what I asked for in realtion to the questionaire that I filled out as well as some different examples I sent to the person I was working with. The nice thing about this process was that they were more than happy to make as many revisions as I needed. Now, I don’t know if that is part of their normal service or not, but it worked great for me. I’m the type of person, like many of you probably are, that likes to have a TON of revisions done to designs to try to make them just right. However, there is a point where you have to realize you will never be able to achieve a perfect logo because you’d never be happy with what you had if you went for perfection. So, I’m very happy with the current logo that the site has, I think it goes very well with the theme and colors and look forward to utilizing it for a while to come.
I’d rate my experience with the guys at LogoInn.com pretty well and would consider going back for future logo work. I know there are a ton of options out there when you are looking for a logo design like running a contest, hiring a firm, or checking out a logo desing company like LogoInn.com. Using this type of internet based service may not be for you, but for this type of project, it was the perfect fit!

Great job with the new site Chris! I think there are still some minor changes to make, but it’s coming along nicely.
Wow! Great job! I think it looks very nice and a lot more user friendly.
WATCH OUT for LogoInn !!! They offer terrible designs and then refuse to refund their money as promised !!!! These guys are super shady!!!!!
Great Post. I have been looking for this information for the last few days. Thanks for sharing.
LogoInn has done a terrible job for my company. Their logo designs were not creative and it was clear that they didn’t even understand our company name. We ended up creating our own logo design and sent it to them to get it cleaned up and put into the appropriate file formats. Next we started on web site design. Still lazy and sloppy design. Stationery design consisted of pasting our logo onto the top of an 8 1/2 x 11 document and calling it letterhead. Emails to their support group were ignored unless I copied an individual II happened to reach by phone. They apparently have no source control or quality control because I have regularly received old designs with new deliverables. I would never use these guys again. Ever.
After 3 weeks of back and forth emails, numerous lengthy phone calls and endless frustrations, I’ve finally decided to cut my losses and finish the website myself. LogoInn, based in India I suspect (although they won’t admit it) don’t deserve to call themselves a web design company; they are a ” cut and paste into a template” company, offering poor customer service (2 day turn around for a very basic revisions???), and even poorer quality and value-add. They don’t even understand or follow very basic design requests, like positioning of graphics. My advice, pay a little more and get the job done by real DESIGNERS who can express the creative and business acumen you seek. I wish I did that to start off with instead of losing 3 weeks worth of potential business as my site was being “designed”. LogoInn should stick to logos and become a great logo company instead of the below par web designers they currently are.
I know some of my teammates can lose motivation when projects run twice as long as they should have been.
Terrible company, no creativity and I had to design my own and send it to them so they can finish it, and after I agree with the logo they sent the wrong one!!!, so I thought “well just a misunderstanding” so they reply with an attachment of the right logo for confirmation, I confirmed….and they sent the wrong one again!!!, how hard it is??, so all this time I was dealing with Ron Coper and ask to speak with a manager after numerous attempts to get things right, and find out that he is the manager!!!!, how can someone like him be a manager?!?!? and they keep saying “i will send it tomorrow”, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, dont waste your money
Wow! Great job! I think it looks very nice and a lot more user friendly.
I don’t agree to the above comments, I think you are all competitors and not Logoinn’s clients. As far as my experience with Logoinn is concerned, it was amazing!!! I must say they have a battalion of highly creative logo designers fully equipped with great graphic design sense and an ability to come up with extraordinary concepts for anyone. All I can say is that the quality of their design work is outstanding by any standard. Their support is simply awesome and they really treat their customers well. I am 100% satisfied with Logoinn’s performance.
