I have used crowdSPRING to help with business name and logo development. Both of these projects were outstanding experiences.

"Crowdspring does not pay their designers"
The designers on crowdspring are fantastic. Unfortunately, crowdspring will take your money and then fail to pay the designer.

"AVOID - bad service, mysterious "withdrawn" entries NO REFUND"
I sponsored a design contest for a simple logo and got a few dozen entries as promised. Nothing spectacular, but you get what you pay for.

What do you like best about crowdspring?

The designers on crowdspring are fantastic. Unfortunately, crowdspring will take your money and then fail to pay the designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

The company that designed my logo is still waiting for crowdspring to release my payment to them after 4 months, and apparently many have waited 6 months to a year. Others have had their profiles deleted for requesting payment. If you care at all about the people who put their hard work and creativity into the job you commissioned them for, don't use crowdspring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is crowdspring solving and how is that benefiting you?

Crowdspring's freelance designers created a logo and social media content for me. Unfortunately, crowdspring is refusing to pay them for the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

Customer support is verbally abusive and unhelpful. Designers are not getting paid and are being threatened when asking for their money. Refunds are extremely difficult to get unless you do a charge back. The website is extremely misleading with their information, including outright falsehoods. They are keeping the money they should be paying their creatives with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is crowdspring solving and how is that benefiting you?

Crowdspring is failing to solve any problems, they are consistently causing problems among both creatives and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

As the contest wrapped up, several of the designs I liked -- ones I might have actually picked -- ended up being "withdrawn" for various reasons. We asked for a refund. Weeks went by and nothing happened. Finally had to file a charge-back with our credit card company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about crowdspring?

I had CrowdSpring creatives create a logo for my upstart Veterinary Hospital. My colleagues that recommended CrowdSpring have expressed envy at the quality of the incredible logo manifested for my practice! I have called twice for assistance in enhancing the graphics and finalizing the file types, and both times I have had a human on the phone within minutes, both of whom assisted me with incredible knowledge and professionalism. I would recommend this option to anyone looking for a great graphic design, knowing you will be helped even after your transaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

That I have a low buyer rating. With the project of starting a new business, it wasn't possible to respond to all of the submitting creatives, which lowered my score as a buyer... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is crowdspring solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a larger vector file to create an awning and they IMMEDIATELY provided the files so i could onward them to the awning company. The original files were amazing and used for polo embroidery, magnets, pens, and banners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about crowdspring?

This site says that it gives 100% money back guarantee with big letters that say, "NO FINE PRINT!"

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

That the above statement is untrue and there is fine print which is that you can't get your money back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering crowdspring:

Do not do their expensive contests. You only get 3 designers and there's no money back guarantee. You can pay 1/4 of the cost and get 30 designers and a money back guarantee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is crowdspring solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trying to get a logo made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about crowdspring?

They thought of everything regarding the project, from giving useful tips in the startup phase to ensure I got what I wanted down the road to making sure that I was giving useful feedback to the creatives. Every step of the way they made sure I had all of the information I needed to have my project be a success. They even reminded me to check that the creative had provided me with all of the file formats I had requested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

I honestly can't think of anything that I disliked about the whole process. I can't believe how smoothly the whole project went. I suppose if I had one complaint, it would be that when you first log into their product you are prompted to get started on reviewing new submissions and there is no way to opt out of that screen. It's a small detail, but I would prefer the option to say "not now". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering crowdspring:

Make the leap. They have a 100% money back guarantee. What do you have to lose? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is crowdspring solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our racing team needed a professional logo to represent us well to the public. Without crowdspring we probably would have settled for a mediocre logo designed locally. Instead we got a choice of logos from dozens of professionals. We haven't even deployed the logo yet, but I'm sure that it will drastically improve our public recognition.

What do you like best about crowdspring?

The perfect platform for gathering talent and ideas in an affordable and efficient way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

Being my first project, I was not sure about how to handle rejection, so it was my problem. That is, seeing the effort put into my project was humbling. Telling someone "no thanks" kinda hurt. I wish there were someway a bit more constructive to do that. Not CS problem, but I could use some advice for next time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about crowdspring?

We had a large number of designers and logo submissions. Many of the designs were excellent. They also have a feature where we could invite folks to help review the logo submissions. They handled all of the legal stuff which was a big help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about crowdspring?

I have nothing to dislike at the moment. If I had to say something, I would say that the large number of entries made it difficult to choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is crowdspring solving and how is that benefiting you?

We got a professional logo at 10% of what it would have costed if we went with a marketing firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
