Hands on: My 5 cents on Fiverr
My experiences with Fiverr plus a couple of tips and tricks ? read more [in German]
Are you active on various social media platforms? Do you run your own blogs, manage Facebook groups and moderate boards? I bet you constantly need you logos: A stylish group avatar, an impressive header image… the web is a visual media. Even if you are a design genius, time is precious. If you're like me and lack design talent, do-it-yourself isn't an option. Professionals are expensive – who wants to spend a couple of hundreds of dollars on a temporary logo? Luckily, I found an alternative that takes care of all my logo-designing needs.

When professionals run into problems with logo design, this is what they do
If logo designs give you headache on a regular basis, you should consider registering with a marketplace. I tried many of them, but Fiverr is simply the best. There are a few rules of thumb you need to follow though:
- When picking a designer, start with Fiverr's recommendations. I was never disappointed by any of these professionals – the final selection merely depends on your taste, as there are various approaches to designing a logo – from typo to photo-realistic.
- Carefully check the seller's portfolio. Take a look a his previous work, read through the reviews of previews customers.
- Be as concise as possible when writing your briefing. Attach examples of logos you like. If available, always buy an addon for at least three change requests.
I rarely ever bought a logo for 5 dollars. Instead I always order the Photoshop / Illustrator files and leave a healthy tip. Nothing beats motivation for the next job!
