Launch a Logo Design Contest – A Call for Small Business Owners
Wednesday 20 January 2010< | Keith J. Hamilton
It’s no secret that an attractive logo can go a long way in facilitating your business or company in today’s competitive market. In the face of such fierce competition, it is absolutely imperative for your logo to stand out from the rest by creating a good first impression on your potential clients and portraying a professional image of your company’s vision.
There are hundreds of thousands of logo designers available today which translates into hundreds of thousands of logo design ideas. However, instead of chasing them and asking for their designs, you can make them come to you and have them willingly submit their portfolio’s by using a very popular and effective strategy – Host an online Logo Design Contest!
Logo Design Contests have been gaining steady popularity over the years. Simply put, it’s a win-win situation for everyone. By hosting a logo design contest, the designers get the golden opportunity to display their talent and win cash incentives while the clients walk away with their logo. Websites, such as MycroBurst.com specialize in hosting such contests in an effort to bring prospective clients and qualified designers closer to each other. As a contest holding client, you get to view design samples within hours of launching the competition. Moreover, you also get full legal ownership of the winning logo once a winner has been announced.
What’s even better is that such contests are not just limited to logo design. You can choose from a variety of other fields relating to your business such as professional business cards or web design contests.
A recent survey conducted by MycroBurst.com on clients who had hosted such competitions through them, revealed that the feature they loved the most about hosting these events was the plethora of designs samples they received within the span of a few days. They were also impressed with the quality of work citing that it made the selection process very challenging.
Today, the Internet is a very powerful platform and it grows stronger every day. Businesses worldwide are cashing in by taking advantage of the technology, tools and services available, such as online design contest hosting, to stake their claim in their relevant industries. So the question to ask is not why should you hold a design contest, its why should you not?

| MycroBurst.com is a new generation marketplace. It has been created to bring together business owners or individuals, and web, logo and graphic designers in an easy and hassle free manner. There is no need to approach one design company and hope they are capable of making your business, a brand.
Through MycroBurst.com, anyone can create a ‘contest.’ Through this contest, businesses can have designers from around the globe, conceptualize the design and present it, in the best manner possible. So instead of having a couple of design choices, you can now have hundreds! You, as the ‘contest holder’ will have complete control of the design process. You will tell the designers the rate, the deadline and the precise instructions. Then, all you will have to do, is wait. You may not like the first ten designs but that’s no money out of your pocket. There will be hundreds of designers bidding on the same project, at no extra cost! So the probability is on your side, you will, before the end of the deadline, choose the design that will be your business ‘brand’. The contest is over, only when you choose the winning design. The prize money goes to the winning designer. It really is that simple! The Guru Corporation has been in the online design service industry since 2003. It is one of the pioneers of the logo design industry and has won tens of awards for logo designs. We know how the online design industry started and we know how it is developing. The idea of MycroBurst.com evolved when we saw that many businesses are wary of outsourcing their design needs and yet, are unable to afford the local services. Through MycroBurst.com, the Guru Corporation hopes to breach that wall and create endless possibilities for the online design industry. With MycroBurst.com, we have created a forum, where you are not depending on any ‘foreign’ company; you are in control, even if the designer is based on the other side of the globe! The Guru Corporation, incorporated in Delaware, and based in Langhorne, PA, is changing the face of crowd sourcing, and allowing businesses to be able to afford the control of their corporate image, in an affordable and competitive manner! The New Year is full of potential and MycroBurst.com, hopes to bring that potential to you! |
