Who wouldn’t like to get a custom logo designed especially for his/her blog, business, or brand?
The internet is so crowded with sites that have no name or brand, why you should be one of them? It’s essential to stand out from the crowd with your unique logo design, especially when you realize the importance of branding and uniqueness in today’s market!
Whether you are a wedding photographer or business speaker, you need to stand out from your competitors! When you’re ready to have a custom logo design, there are many options to go with including:
- Finding graphic designers on freelance job boards
- Newer companies offering free logo design in exchange for links or reviews (they’re the ones that contact you via email or through your website contact form).
- Reading logo design tutorials and going the DIY approach (good for those who already have a strong design knowledge).
- Crowdsourcing logo designs through forums.
- Googling logo design and hoping for the best!
- Getting referrals from sites whose logos you like by simply asking!
To help in your decision making process, here is some information for one logo design company that you will come across in your searches: LogoBee.

My Impressions
What are my overall impressions about this company from what I have read and seen?
Their Website
Their website design is in definite need of an update, as the design looks about 5 – 10 years old, and the content on the homepage alone is overwhelming. Plus I would prefer the simplicity of being able to see designs laid out on the screen as opposed to having to click through galleries with previous and next buttons or flash. I guess you can consider that they put all their focus in customer designs over their own, which can be a good thing. Plus their blog (which I assume is in WordPress) could definitely use some better permalinks, but that is the blogger in me coming out.
The Logos
I think that they have some great quality logo, as shown above in the samples.
The Pricing
To be honest, I haven’t had much experience in the realm of logo shopping, as, after serveral hit and miss offers by companies who offered free logos in trade for links, I had a friend design mine. But considering the amount of satisfied clients they have in comparison to those complaining about their pricing, it is my assumption that they must do good work for the cost.

For a website or business that is making money, those prices are VERY reasonable.
The ability to brand yourself visually using an “eye candy” logo is invaluable.
Definitely worth it in my opinion.
Thanks for the recommendation Kristi.

Seems like the site to watch out for. They are a bit expensive but the logos are indeed high quality.

My friend did try LogoBee before and he was rather satisfied with the designs. He got what he wanted. Their logo samples are really polished and good. Thus far, I’ve only used LogoDesignStation.com and was quite happy with the outcome. Been using it for a couple of times now. The design packages were affordable – didn’t cost me a fortune and I received the concepts rather quickly which was a pleasant surprise. I think with the proliferation of so many online logo design sites, it is wise to make comparisons before engaging with one. Good article by the way.
These Logo Designs are cool. Good stuff you shared.
They do master a diversity of styles, whether it’s simplistic work (like REDz here) or complex 3D vectors (like Blackbook) here, they can create it, and I agree with Mars that their website looks outdated. But I think the most important thing is what they have in their portfolio, right?

LogoBee is affordable as opposed to other of their competitors like LogoMyway and 99designs.com. The difference though is that the two latter ones I’ve mentioned are more known and popular.
.-= NEW from Melvin´s last blog ..The *Only* Thing You Need When Starting an MMO Blog =-.
I think that their competitors’ popularity has more to do with the way they approach connecting clients to graphic designers. LogoBee is more traditional since they do everything in-house themselves, plus they have the experience and testimonials about their work, as opposed to the work of others.

I have not even heard of LogoBee.
However, on quality and pricing… I know KittyBradshaw ( http://kittybradshaw.com/ , who I did the web design for), the actual logo by another graphic designer cost her over $4000 dollars. She and her site had been recently featured in the Atlanta Post. She also holds parties that have been sponsored quite nicely by places like GAP, giving out expensive goodies for guests.

Wow… that’s pretty cute. $4,000 is a hefty price tag though. I’m guessing that with her reputation though, it was well worth it!
.-= NEW from Kristi Hines´s last blog ..Self-Promotion Through Social Media – Don’t Be A Narcissist =-.
I know. I feel underpaid sometimes myself. None of my non-disclosure clients have even cost an quarter or an eighth of that price for logos!

Hey All
My daily alerts sent me over here to see what was going on, lolll. The cost of the logo didn’t just include the design. I sent him my pictures for him to create an exact cartoon version of me. The fee also included legal rights to the image. The artist can’t resuse any aspect of my image …. not event to advertise for himself without permission. Of course I didn’t have to pay for that, but the control freak in me just had to own it.

Hey Kristi -
This is a great overview of a small business!
The logos you included are really nice, and pretty affordable. I took a look at their website, and you are right – it is not up to date. But, when small companies like this have limited resources, they tend to put them towards whatever has the most potential to make money the quickest. Otherwise, it won’t be long before they go out of business.
I have done very minimal design modification on my site (so far), but I will probably do what Mars said and do it myself when that time comes (hopefully soon – trying to build some content). I really enjoy that part of web design, and it has been pretty hard to force myself to not do it.
Have a great day!
.-= NEW from mark´s last blog ..A Mission To Do As Little As Possible =-.
Very true. Several companies I have worked for always put their own site on the backburner because working on them was not revenue generating and therefore not worth sacrificing time that could go toward customer projects.
.-= NEW from Kristi Hines´s last blog ..Self-Promotion Through Social Media – Don’t Be A Narcissist =-.
The logos are really really great and awesome
. Oh, and they are lovely too

Thanks very much, Kristi, for sharing them and LogoBee with us

Yes, they definitely have some awesome samples in their portfolio!
.-= NEW from Kristi Hines´s last blog ..Self-Promotion Through Social Media – Don’t Be A Narcissist =-.
Their logos are quite solid – but you’re right – their website looks outdated and quite generic..
Their pricing seems confident – they obviously know what they want ! Too many people devalue their services by offering stuff for free.
But I’d still design my own logos, or hire a passionate freelancer. I luv personal brands more than corporate style managed offices.
.-= NEW from Mars Dorian´s last blog ..Before Your Light Vanishes… =-.
It seems to be quite common… businesses that offer a service don’t actually provide it for themselves (like an internet marketing company that doesn’t even have a full website).
I think that they have higher pricing because the have the decade of experience and a very lengthly list of clients and testimonials – sure you could get something cheaper elsewhere, but how confident would you be in a business with no personal referrals or testimonials of any kind.
I wish I had the graphic design skills to do my own logos / designs.
