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?

In the scientific publishing world, peer reviewers are police officers in charge of catching bad research. Without these watchdogs, pseudoscience can masquerade as real science—and when they fail, as they sometimes do, the public has the most to lose.
