10 Reasons why to choose Logotrader

Here follows the brief description of various phases which explains the contest course.

It is very simple to launch a contest on Logotrader. Here are some simple steps for launching a contest:

The contest actually lasts for 7 days. Try to motivate the designers by answering their questions, give comments and feedback. The more you cooperate with the contest the better the result will be. Not satisfied after 7 days? No problem: we will prolonge the contest with 7 days for free (one time).

During the 7 days contests, it is possible to choose one or more winners. If a winner is chosen the project status will change to “Judgement mode”. From that point only the winner can add more entries (or adjustements) till you are fully satisfied. The judgement mode continues for 7 days max. For file delivery see next slide.

After you choose a winner an automatic email notification is sent to that winner contains instructions for uploading files in a compressed format. The file can then be downloaded by you and checked if it needs your requirement. If you are fully satisfied with the files you have to click on the approve-link so that the award will be added immediately to the winner’s account. The contest status will change to “Completed”.

You can submit entries on all contests without any limitation. Every contest lasts for 7 days, and the client must pick a winner (or winners) within this timeperiod. After that the status of that contest will change to “judgement mode” automatically and if you're the lucky one then you will still be able to communicate to the client and upload adjustements as requested by the client.

During the contest or judgement mode, customer can select a winner. The client also has the opportunity of pointing another winner in second and also third place. If there are more than one winners then the award will be divided among the winners. For example: If client only picked 1 winner, then that designer will get the full 100% of the award, but if there are three winners, then the 1st winner gets 70%, second winner 20% and the third winner 10%. Only the 'Golden' winner has to upload his files.

As a winner, you get the notification instantly through email stating that the customer has chosen you as a winner. Then you will have to upload the files in compressed format and send it. Sometimes the client will ask you to do some minor adjustements, therefore you may need to upload the files a few times until the client is satisfied. Once the client approved your design/idea, then your balance will be updated immediately and now you can request for your payment.

Every project on Logotrader is paid in advance by the customers. The award amount is placed in an escrow account which is a kind of intermediate station. By this method, you can be confident about getting your money after you have been chosen as a winner.
