I like your comment to Per’s blog. And to keep the competition 100% swedish, it could have taken place Xtraworks (www.xtraworks.se) instead of 99designs.

Hmm. I don’t agree since we’re looking for a European Buzz and the number of contributions on Xtraworks wouldn’t be enough or generate that buzz.

(at least to judge from the traffic now)

Yes, xtraworks is still pretty unknown and not so active these days. The quality and quantity of the contributions is still below what such a task would require. But what if an american guy comes with the best logo? I’m not sure this would be very welcomed…
Then, about the buzz… that’s the kind of logo you only hear about when there’s a scandal about how it was chosen, paid or interpreted. Most of the time they are totally ignored.
Now i’m waiting for the conspiration theory that will pretend that the scandal in this case is just a PR-coup.

Ha, that would be pretty cool considering it’s basically impossible to find information about Bacon online. Cloud Nine however exist for sure.

Well, you never know what would have been created since they would have let the design loose. Who knows where they would have ended up huh?

Still no reason to pay 1.3 for a logo that is produced in an old fashioned way.

Great post. Like you say, i’s not about the money, it’s about the process. Although… it’s a little about the money… I mean 1,3 mil… come on…

My post was more like your heading – I didn’t really have time write something intelligent so I just wrote something I hope would make people go read your blog post :)
Have a great day!

Absolutely. I sort of commented on your blog on the other post but forgot to specify that :)

I agree that for 1000 dollars you could get the equivalent logo from 99designs and that 1.3mill is too much.

But for 1000 dollars at 99designs you do not get the whole profile, which I think is kind of included in the 1.3mill-package, along with a lot of other communication directons / thoughts.

Of course not. But I’m talking about the entire effect. And note, I did not think you could land the project for 1000 but instead 20000.

Espacially when the logo isn’t that good looking, and kinda reminds me of this: http://www.strepsils.se/

You should check out spreadshirt, they announced their Open Logo Project (which was won by a friend who now also is my collegue :)

http://olp.spreadshirt.net/wordpress/

I think that is a great example of crowdsourcing.
