BRANDING & lOGO DESIGN QUESTIONAIRE

This questionaire will give me a starting point of what type of project you are after, some guiding principles of you and your business so that once we get on a call, I'm "pre-informed" so to speak.

BEFORE WE START

My Logos are now run through a contest type system. I have multiple designers available to me on an agency platform that gives me the opportunity to allow clients access to multiple styles, capabilities and outcomes for their new logo.

My design packages reflect the experience of the designers themselves. For example, if you take a budget package of $1250 AUD + GST you might have 10 designers compete. However if you take the $4000 package, you will attract designers of a higher calibre and generally get a much more amazing design.

GUARANTEED CONTESTS

If we "guarantee" the contest, we will usually get better designer and more entries. This isn't something you have to do, but it will ensure that the best options are available to you.

NON GUARANTEED CONTESTS

You will always get less designs and designers working with a non guaranteed contest. However I've run them before and got excellent designs so that isn't always the case. In my experience, Guaranteed Contests work best but this decision is totally up to you.

Be aware though that if you do see some designs you love and want to move through to the final stage, as soon as we select them as finalists the competition becomes guaranteed.

TIME FRAMES

A branding or logo design is run over 10 days, however that is split into sections.

Round 1 - asking for designs is 4 days from the date I upload the design brief.

Round 2 - selecting finalists is also over 4 days and must be completed by the end of the 4th day.

Round 3 - designers proceed with finalising designs based on our feedback and this runs for 3 days.

Round 4 - choose a winner and get our files! We have 10 days after the revisions have all been submitted to choose a winner. Once we do, we get delivery of our files and we are done!

Typically what I do is set the competition up on a Thursday or Friday, which means that by Monday we should see some designs come through and we can start asking for revisions. By the Tuesday or Wednesday we have most of our designs in and can start selecting our finalists.

YOU NEED TO BE AVAILABLE during this time frame. Please don't ask to start a contest if you are going on leave and think you will just let it run in the background. That's not how it works. You need to be available to answer any questions I have.

MY INVOLVEMENT

I run the project myself and weed out all the designs that either don't fit our brief or aren't of the standard we expect. I don't bother you with any of the technical questions at all and I am on the platform twice a day during a contest.

PAYMENT

Design competitions have the following payment processes. A base fee of $250 + gst is non refundable for all logo and branding projects. This covers my time to chat to you about your requirements, assemble briefs, create the design competition, and manage the designers.

If you have a non guaranteed project, a 50% deposit is required prior to commencement of any project and this is due once you have completed the design brief.

The final 50% is due prior to handover of the files.

If you run a guaranteed project, the full amount is payable up front before we start the contest.

QUESTIONS

Please ask any questions you might have and I would be happy to answer them.

Please complete as much as you can here as it helps me to identify a lot of information before we take the time to chat.

Anything that is required will have a little red asterisks next to it like this *.
