I do not hesitate at all recommending Design Contest. It's one of the best discoveries I've made on Google.
Not only do you get access to thousands of artists, you have a direct live-chat line with a rep who is always willing to help, with a smile. I got the same rep each time, Ms Anastasia, and I could not be any happier with the service.
I am generally quite busy and thus appreciate the kind of service I get helping me navigate through their site quickly. I also do not spend much time writing reviews, but for Design Contest, I feel like sending this review in order to encourage more people to work with them.
I think it would be hard to go wrong with Design Contest.

This company is awesome
This company worked with us from start to finish. They will go far beyond what would be expected from them if there is any issues. Sharie who works there and is a designer her self does great work and took the time to fix a project that we had. I wouldnt use another design company other then this one. Thanks, The Clam Jam Boil&BBQ

Not for complicated projects
This is a 3 start review because of the customer service, they are awesome and ready to help you be successful.
I think the contests are great for simple projects such as logos etc. My truck wrap had too many details to get the designers full attention and time invested. We did not achieve what we had hoped for: to have a print ready design. Two stars for that reason! Too many details I described in the brief were overlooked, like what side logos needed to be for example.
Also, I hoped for more professional designs. I expected basic graphic design points to be covered, and I picked them out as an amateur to be wrong for the eye. Some ideas were just off with colors, proportions etc. Some were so disorganized that I could barely find the important information like our name. Designs stretched out to the edge of the truck that didn't make sense and needed to be addressed individually. Again the truck has a lot of details to consider and plan around.
Communication was difficult at times to bring across my wishes. Wether this was due to language or my communication trying to explain, probably a bit of both. Once I had picked a winner, I had to keep bringing up the same issues again a couple of times. If all you need is a logo, you can just choose which ones you like and not. Not that much explaining and communication involved as here.
Maybe it would have helped to increase the winning prize, but after two weeks of explaining the same points over and over, I feel I am better off to spend the money with a local designer. I have to go to a designer where we can sit down and work on all those details that are still missing. It was just to complicated a project to get it all right over the web. I chose the best design to at least acknowledge the effort.
Sorry to write a bad review, I was so excited to get lots of ideas. In the end we only had 7 designers and after "un blinding" the contest they all looked similar. Thanks to the people that made an effort. A suggestions stays, to really study the brief next time.

Outstanding Service
I am a first time user and I would absolutely use designcontest.com again. We are a business that needed a new logo. We received over 100 quality designs and are very happy with the winner of our contest. The designer has been wonderful and easy to work with. I have reached out to Sharie Voss on several occasions and she is terrific. She responds within minutes to my emails and has been very helpful and courteous throughout this process. I highly recommend designcontest.com for the quality designers, price, and customer service!

for 600.00 at the end all you have are pictures of a website !
My wife wanted to have a website built for my company for a surprise and contacted design contest for it. It was a surprise. after running a second contest we picked a design that was pretty good paid 600.00 then I found out that you do not get a working website just a picture of it. they offer to build it for an additional 1900.00 !!!! We contacted Sherie Voss she was rude and no help at all. Lucky for us this was the first contest the guy that designed the site for us had entered thru designcontest.com.He was a great guy and shocked they didn't want a working site when he did it.He built it for us and did a great job for a little of nothing

Dear Scot, my name is Sergey Nekipelov, I'm the CEO at DesignContest. We take negative feedback very seriously and doing everything possible to achieve our goal of 100% satisfied customers.
DesignContest is a platform that allows you to connect with the designers from all over the world and get graphic design done more efficiently than hiring the freelancer or the design agency. As a result you always get the custom graphic design (picture) at our platform, not the complete website. Building a website, or coding the design to html is another task which we can help with, but every project is different and requires different amount of work. This is why we work with you to offer tailored quote to develop your fully functional website from the custom design.
Nowhere on our website does it it say that we offer the complete website for $600. We also have the similar question "Will my website be coded?" answered in the FAQ section on the Website Design page https://www.designcontest.com/website-design/
I've reviewed the transcripts of your communication with Sharie V and do not hence her being rude or unprofessional at any point. Although I will make sure that your concern will be thoroughly studied by our customer experience team.
With kind regards,
Sergey Nekipelov

Above all expectations
I did a competition on a logo and chose the medium cost competition and added a cost on that I would like the competition to stick out. I received 700 designs in 7 days and I would say that probably 25% of them looked so professional that I would have been happy to use any of those. The one I chose was very very professional and lived up to all the requirements I had written about the logo. More than satisfied. I will use them again in the future.

Great experience!
I was nervous to try this out. But I was very happy with the results. Some of the logos that were designed weren't quite what I was looking for, but I had a few that were difficult to choose from. I would use this service again!
