They decline design so easy. Firstly, I've applied my design on a contest, and they deactivated the account for no reason. I've read their guidelines and their regulations and I respected them but, they say the opposite. I've worked at least 20 hours on a logo contest. Furthermore, I was furious so, I decided to create a new account in the site and I uploaded my design once again. And they declare that my design is unprofessional and not great quality. Which is the opposite because you can clearly see that the image and logo are great quality. Do not use this service because it's a waste of time.
When you ask for design from a company whose only goal is to make money by exploiting desperate people who are unqualified to do the work, you get what you pay for. I have spoken with contest participants who report unequivocally that they are paid only a fraction of what the client is told they're paying to the contest participant. Apart from the cut the company already takes up front, they take a much larger chunk from the contest participant's winnings behind the scenes.
If you want a designer, hire a designer. If you have no respect for designers and want something cheap and possibly illegal, use a crowdsourcing site. You will get what you pay for, I guarantee you that.
They do not accept you as a designer. I don't know the purpose but they reject whatever you do. It is waste of time for a designer. Freelancer is even better than this site. You enter lots of competitions and they never acept your work. And they even don't specify you any reason. Always the same bla bla "Poor design quality and execution". I really wonder who decides the designs quality. If you want to see poor quality designs look at most of the designs which win the competitions. They have lots of creatively poor designers than you and don't accept you for the reason being a poor creative designer. Unbelievable...
I got 100+ designs that were way off strategy. No one read the creative brief. There was one good quality logo, but it was cut-and-paste from another similar company, so it couldn't be trademarked. What a complete waste of time and energy. I asked for a refund. They offered to run another contest, but I didn't want to waste more time since so many of the submissions were from their "Elite" designers. I asked for a refund based on their 100% guarantee, but they kept a $90 "posting fee". That's infuriating, since I got absolutely nothing from this company. It's a fully automated platform, so there's no cost to them when someone posts a job. Absolute ripoff.
We received terrible designs. We trusted their promise of "full refund", but it turns out they keep 55Eur out of 165Eur payment.
We feel cheated and we do not recommend this dishonest marketplace to anybody.
This platform is waste of time for designers...Instead use DesignHILL and DesignContest. Trust me you will be doing justice to yourself by wasting no time on Designecrowd which is (Designerhell)
They paid the wrong designer & said we'd have to pay more $ to use one we wanted. AND overcharged us
I joined as a designer on designcrowd, and my first contest logo design was accepted, but my other two contest designs were rejected by the "Quality Team," who claimed that it was due to poor design or execution, which it was not, and I have no clue who this quality team is! Are these actual people or BOTS? My designs are exactly what the contest owner asked.
If you don't mind wasting hours of your time drawing a logo only to have it rejected by the "LOL quality team," then sign up and goodluck...
I deactivated my account BYE BYE
Design crowd, they have a quality standard that consists about? Their great website WITHOUT AN SINGLE ERROR of course (lie). Those guys are pathetics and stupid, also i made 2, i`ve say 2, golden ration logo with a close study and get rejected, do not ever spend your time there, stupid site, with stupid people $#*! them
What DesignCrowd do is a disgrace and low class in the design world. Suppress designers and steal design copyright. Determined designer's artwork without any reasons and straightly deactivated ur account! What the fishhh? And why DesignCrowd do tht, this absolutely ridiculous and you know it.
As a designer, my account got terminated because of uugghh... you don't get to know what exactly caused the termination but feel free to guess which of these reasons may or may not be the cause.
In the middle of running my first contest on this joke of a service now -- more than half of what you pay is going to go to fee after fee -- when you realize that you paid $400 for a contest that's getting listed for $150 and go to upgrade, they then charge you fees on TOP of that -- a 10% "upgrade fee" and a 5% "transaction" fee.
On top of charging the designer who wins the contest fees.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS -- BORDERLINE SCAM, AT THE VERY LEAST YOU'RE GETTING RIPPED OFF.
Said I'd already had an account when my picture nor my email were ever used. If you are doing good business, make sure you have a good team of technicians.
I initially hired them for help with a logo design but ended up dealing with disgruntled designers. Maybe if I had chosen a different designer the company might be ok.
Stay away from this deisgn service. Poor quality designs that do not follow your instructions, not enough designers, and then they don't honour their money back guarantee.
They do not respect the designer and refuse the appropriate work on the pretext that it is poor design quality and execution, and when communicating with them via email, they give rude answers.
I had a terrible experience working with Design Crowd. They do not treat their designers fairly. They have the worst customer experience and are not helpful at all.
Sir thank you very much and always help me and guide me in my work so that i can do my work better than the best and without your help and guidance it can't be possible.thank you Sir
By using your fantastic services, we are very pleased that your goods are absolutely good, so I would recommend you to those who use your awesome services.
I have a problem with the customer regarding the approve design and it's been a week since the customer hasn't had a response, I hope my problem will be resolved soon. Thanks for the response
