“Listened to what we wanted - gave our rough diamond logo idea the professional touch”

Liane J.
8/4/19

We are only a small BnB but we wanted to have a professional presence on our website when we get it up and running. Spending a few hundred dollars getting our logo upto a professional standard was well worth. That one little picture is what we will put on all our advertising brochures, business cards etc. The team was very good, gave us plenty of ways to interprut our idea and we love what they came up with. Thanks very much.

A few years ago I had a logo designed by them (pre-buyout) for a small business/project. Last fall ('23) I was notified by one Jim Morrison...who had a very suspicious Indian accent...that someone had made inquiries as to the name. While the project was basically dormant due to COVID I wanted to keep the name so I went along to see what the deal was in terms of trademarking the name. While I am not totally uninitiated and know that the process to fully trademark a name is a lengthy and somewhat costly process I thought that I could slow up any other firm looking to poach the business name...despite my having the name wrapped-up in an LLC and I own the domain name until I was ready to make a decision as to moving ahead or not.
This firm has become a "boiler room operation". This guy is supposed to be a paralegal and he hooks you up with a supposed lawyer---after you've paid their fee which is like $300-$500.
Its all BS and they then try and get you to pay several thousand $ to accomplish the trademark. As soon as I realized the full breadth of the scam I stopped and filed a BBB complaint but it wont stop them. Doubt they are located on Wilshire anymore...more likely in Mumbai.
*****AVOID AT ALL COSTS!******

Steer away from this company, I lost 7000AUD to this fraudulent person/company. They appear very professional until one day when they block access to your product, website in my case. They promised to register a trademark. They switched off my website one day and rest was never delivered! Shame on you Jeff Martin moron!

Logoveventure is the most unprofessional and worst customer service I have ever experience. First they don't know how to do the logo, second they don't have any official office, third when you call them no one answered, forth Jeff martin the project manager who was screaming at me was really rude and had no idea how to deal with customers
So best option if you want to waste your money and time and also your mood.

This company called out of the blue and I never heard of them. It was pure marketing. I didnt even ask for their services. After asking
Them to send me an email and read their scare mongering campaign, I realised how phoney this company was tempted to find out more about the company to warm others. I asked for their location address and received no response.
After reading some of the warnings I. The review, I noticed that one happy client with a bnb paid a lot of money fro trademark. Let me repeat... the client got toasted with a trademark just for a bnb BnB. This company has one intention, that is to find gulable people, scare them and take money. They use words such as " you need to to do this as soon as possible" and create a matter of urgency.

They will not give you a location of their address. People beware

Tip for consumers:
Will not disclose their address. Very unprofessional. It’s marketing and very cheap moral. They use scare tactic cues.

Despite me discussing through their online chat portal what I wanted and the price, they then came back at me when I had signed that all the options what were "included" were actually extra. They offer a moronic 100% satisfaction guaranteed refund which they don't honour. I've repeatedly contacted them since site handover for additional work because the code writer didn't let me know how to update that within the site and they just don't even respond. Absolutely distraught as I have a site filled with errors which I can't fix and neither can anyone else. What a waste of my hard earned money.

Walk away before it's too late and you are robbed! SCAMMERS! I used this company for a logo. They also offered to provide my web site as well. Initially we had spoke about a few different options and costs. I had made it clear I couldn't afford a huge budget so they came up with a package to suit. Not long after I was then told that I would have to trademark my logo so would need to pay extra for the licensing. I was pissed off because I had been told there were no other costs ( yeah unless you want to get in trouble). I chose the 3yr option. So after paying approx $3000 they started my website. Things started off ok apart from the changes I was asking for weren't being done or much later down the track/ There so many different people I was talking too, nor even sure where they are actually located. Not long after I decided to not even bother using the website as it was just too hard. 2 yrs later I recieve an email ( similar to the most recent review) stating that someone was wanting to use my same trademark and the I was facing a trademark infringement penalty and would need to pay over $3000 for logo venture to stop me getting taken to court and a possible fine of $18,900 or at worst over $100,000k if found guilty. I was so scared and worried that I was going to get into major trouble so the person I was speaking too said I could pay $1,499 and that would be it. I stupidly paid it because i was threatened and bullied to beleive that if i didnt there would be huge consequences. Not long after I was told to pay another $699. At this point I has gone on and read a number of reviews similar to mine about being scammed. I told them I wanted my money back and that they had just robbed a single mum raising her young twin boys on her own. I told them I was going to my lawyer etc and they still tried to con me even more. It made me feel sick that I actually believed this crap... when actually I haven't done anything wrong. I paid for the trademark licensing and obviously they hadn't done what they were suppose too. They make you feel threatened and they terrify you to make you believe you owe them money.
I had put a review on here and next day I recieved an email saying that I need to take down the review as I made things up in and it is damaging to their company and they will sue me for defamation... these people are SCUMBAGS! I sent back saying well give me my bloody money back. They emailed back and said we want this resolves amicably. They told me they couldn't refund me as the money had already gone towards the legal proceedings... blah blah blah. Not long later they told me they couldn't refund all but could do a partial refund. I said fine just give me some and leave me alone.
I was told the refund had been processed and that in would be in my account within 7-10 working days. After not recieving I emailed them jan 4th, 9th, 14th with no reply. I finally got a reply on the 15th saying they would follow it up. Since then I have heard nothing. I have emailed 6 times with no reply. It's pretty obvious they were just lying and now they don't even have the balls to contact me back.
Watch out for these names:
- SOPHIA ADAM ( rude, bully and con artist)
- MELISSA SHANEFELTER ( was suppose to refund me)
- JEFF MARTIN
- KEVIN ANDERSON
- MARK S WILSON
- BARRY ALLEN etc
So LOGO VENTURE you deserved this review. Worst ever experience

Never had a worse experience with any company. They lure you in with great offers and then there is constantly more at outrageous prices. If you don't pay they pester you with calls, use scare tactics and threaten to withold information you need until you have paid. Do not work with them! They don't even deserve 1 star...

Logo Venture plagiarized a logo my company invested in. I happened to see the graphic while I was connecting with someone on LinkedIn, and I thought, "that looks familiar." It was an exact copy of the icon we designed - stolen right out from under us. It will cost me too much money to fight this legally (which LV knows), so I'm resorting to warning others about using this company. To add to my frustration, when I contacted the company that bought the plagiarized logo, they said LV even charged them to trademark it!

I had purchased a logo design, animated video and social media service and thought I was purchasing from an Australian company.
I was charged in USD which didn't state this on their website. I also didn't receive my design within 48 hours as stated in their advertising. It has taken weeks and constant emails to then when asking for a refund, logo design sent through but have not received the animated video or socia media banner. Absolutely disgusting customer service. So unprofessional. I highly recommend you never engage this company to do your graphic, social media designing.
Rated 1 star but not even worthy on that.

Worst company ever! Unprofessional, aggressive, dirty tactics to make you pay extra for things, under handed small print' that suddenly appears when you question contract conditions, and delivered an unusable product. Try finding a phone number for them and if you do see how they answer it, if they do at all.

I paid around $300 to have a logo designed and received 12 options by email, but took too long to get back to their email and my file was 'archived'. To reactivate my file it was something like $250! This is 'company policy'! Ridiculous fee that I'm not paying as it just seems like throwing good money after bad to me.

These guys talk very nice and polite but if you look at their website, they don't have standard website links like "about us" or "contact us". I asked them where you guys located and they said we have a production house in Sydney! But they don't give you the address in Australia!
You can clearly find out whom you dealing with by looking carefully at their website. Don't fool for colors and graphics! They keep insisting you to make a payment. I attached a screenshot chatting with Jim Collin.

Started off with just wanting a logo for a golf company. Someone tried to up sell me all kids of things I didn't need or already had. He didn't quite understand "I HAVE A WEBSITE". Weeks later the designs started to come in by way of some 2nd graders somewhere in the Country. Gave them a second round of ideas and they were worse than the first. Basically, the 1st time it was 7 all of the same designs with different fonts and colors and one gem of an idea with a golf ball in a crown? No idea of what that even is. Their name Logo Venture sounds great and I'm positive they have no one creative enough to have come up with that name. Asked for a refund, told we don't give refunds too bad we give you $#*! work, we can try again. They will not give you a refund and kiss your money good buy. You'll be one of the lucky ones that actually get a logo that you'd even consider putting on golf ball, that you'd hit in the woods.

False advertising and misleading information.
They advised they work in Australia and call from Australian phone number. The Australian Website has a toll free number that isn't avail to dial from Australia. I questioned if they are definitely in Australia and sales person confirmed this a few times. I advised I don't want offshore service. This resulted to no office in Australia. The Australian phone number they call you is just a patch number toll free 24/7 advertised is fake.
They promise they have a Professional team that will design logo and website. The unlimited logo service is them making unlimited on a logo generator software. I did a better design in 5 mins that their designs they kept presenting. Each time I gave feedback they didn't take any of that to modify logo. Because they must note I don't like them so hit the auto generated button!
Very basic design and not even close to what was promised. I PAID FOR MY OWN LOGO because they promise it will be better next time and take on board what I need for a logo.
They just drag on to waste time pretending to be a professional web and logo company.
The Project assistance person changed 4 -5 times under a year.
The last Person resigns and the company doesn't advises paid customers and that's when I realised all their contact points are just fake and robots.
Except One service line dials to you leave a voice message and they will call you back.
Took me 2 months for someone to call me
After attempted all phone numbers, sent emails, messages on my project page, social media messages, others calling on my behalf. Calling the project mobile numbers I was given during the project.
2 months later someone calls and acted like it's ok here is someone else let's get on with building my branding website.
I demanded refund after finding the truth of false and misleading.
Then they play hand ball making out its escalated and pretend to get back to you within 24-48 hours and they don't. Because I want my money back they have ignored and then reply back with false statements that they happy to continue working on my business project and can't refund but refer to management.
They don't refer they just drag on more as they are very good at dragging on

This is not what you want when building a new business that is a passion and expect that you get professional and accredited service that they pretend to be.
How they handle the dispute only shows how they aren't a legit company.

If they are a legit and work under Australian regulations I would of spoken to management and received a refund from how I was misled and lied to about their services and about working in Australia when they took my money!

They need to be shut down and not rip us off.

Buyers beware don't waste your money on scammers!

AVOID SCAMMERS same biz as LogoShines, AussieLogo and LogoVenture.com and.net
For the last few years we have had a site imitate our offering and then rip people off. They call themselves aussielogo rather like our own Aussie Logos - running for 17 years! They offer logo packages for a price, nobody in Australia could possibly do (red flag 1) They have an 03 Victorian number but claim to be based in Sydney (red flag 2) and then either don't deliver anything or when the work is completed the company demands $1400-$2000 extra to register intellectual property in Australia for all states- which is false (red flag 3). Not a week goes by when someone calls me a mother f***** for ripping them off. When they have calmed down we explain what has happened and they ask well why aren't you doing anything about it? We explain we have contacted the FEDERAL POLICE- and they say to us unless we can provide an address they cannot do anything. Because this company has a.com domain address they can and have purchased domain privacy (you cannot see any company information or contact details behind the domain) so they could actually, be anywhere in the world. To add insult to injury, and to our business, we as a.com.au cannot hide our address or names. So as a result I have also had the ATO on our backs for falsely issued invoices by this company with our details as the issuer! We have explained we haven't done any work with these companies (and there are thousands), nor received any monies. Finally this week the Intellectual Properties Office contacted me and told me Australians have been ripped off to the tune of hundreds of thousands/maybe millions of $'s by this fake company and can we help them take it down. So our humble advice to you if considering starting a new company is; when a website offers something at a price (and is a.com) that seems too good to be true, then it definitely is too good to be true - they could be in Russia, China or North Korea for all you know and you might as well be throwing your $'s down the drain. See a sample of complaints about this company in Australian Product Review beware of the scammers and work only with genuine Australian design businesses with a.com.au,.net.au or.au (because you can only get these web addresses if you are based here in Australia and have an ABN) Be prepared to pay a little bit more-we all know what things cost in Australia and you cannot go too far wrong. To the people that have been ripped off through Covid and where your hard earnt money was/is tight to follow your dreams-my heart goes out to you all, but it wasn't me and we will still be here to pick up the pieces at an affordable price.

This is a scam, they wont give you the files unless you pay an additional $250 USD but the designs are terrible anyway so you probably don't want it. But the scam is that if you don't pay up, he will threaten to take your design (the one you gave him as an example of what you want) and register it under his name (or sell it to another company to do the same) this way someone else is profiting from your IP and you no longer have rights to your own design. What's more, is that he has managed to get you to pay for all of this. My guess is that the 5star ratings on here are from his colleagues.

Worst experience I have ever encountered. I was given a timeline of 3 weeks. Project took 2 years with no results. Awful developers that are very unprofessional and not talented. I got hustled. Spent a lot of money and did not receive the service. I have had to chase them regularly for updates. And now looking for resolution or money back, their response to this matter is ignorance. Very unprofessional. Considering how they have handled this situation I would be comfortable calling them thief. They up sell their service. Charge you for many services they do not deliver. They keep the money and do not even own up to their mistakes. I found them on Freelancer. Biggest regret of my life. I have wasted time and money with no results. And now they have made me late to the market. Be aware and stay away. Do not waste your money no matter how many commitments they make even If in writing.

Please see review by Amanda on 6/10/18 - it's spot on. I really question where these guys are based.
Their website development is one extra sell after another. Like others have pointed out, the costs keep adding-up each step of the way. Whatever you do, don't use their Content writing service - mine was done by some school-level person whereby I had to re-write everything.
I've had to update my Review of Logoventures after they sent a strongly worded email to me about legal action etc. and asked me to remove my previous review. I guess if you don't write a glowing review then you get threatened for "internet defamation". Lovely.

TERRABLE TERRABLE COMPANY, a rip off company, they abuse their customers, if you use them, GET A CONTRACT or they will abuse you! I paid a huge amount if money to them up front mind you, they took so long to TRY to get things right, it never got correct. THEY ARE IN INDIA or a foreign country, they have poor communication skills, want more money all the time, turn around time for 1 small thing is a week at minimum, once they have you they do their best to control you. No shame here I called them some pretty nasty names. I had been very ill and told them I needed to take a pause from the construction of the site, because it was causing me to much stress, I told them I needed surgery and when I recover we could resume. When I contacted them to work on the site, they said the way the site was designed was wrong and it needed to be corrected at my expense and if I wanted to use the site they had already constructed it would cost 499.00 to reinstate, well for me that was the last straw... I dont care about the money over 1,700 it is the principal as well as the dirty tactics they used to trap me, (they would not return my registers name to me) I paid for 5 years of hosting as well as building the site. I went to websitesource.com registerd a new name that would work perfectly and said Aloha to LOGO VENTURE and I will write about them until I can't write about them anymore! Stupid jerks! The stress they cause is not worth your time, go to someone who is stationed in the US. Although Logo Venture says they are in the US, they are a Inda based company. They purposely do not give you a contract so they have all the leverage they want and trust me they use it. DO NOT TRUST THEM! YOU WILL BE SORRY!
