Our contest method is where you create a brief that's open to our entire designer community. Designers pitch their concepts, and you can give feedback on these designs before selecting your favorite. At the end of the contest, you'll receive the copyright and files for your winning design.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment on all Brand Starter Pack design contests, except those with a guaranteed prize and those that have entered the Final Round. You can also call us anytime to help you rewrite your brief, reopen your project to ensure you get a good result, and help you pick a winning design. Remember, if we refund your contest, you aren’t legally entitled to use any of the designs submitted to your contest.

To keep the decision-making process as simple as possible, your Brand Starter Pack contest will focus on the logo portion only. Once you’ve picked a winning logo design to keep, that designer will work with you to create the perfect business card, stationery and Facebook cover. It usually takes about a week.

We got you! If you'd like a logo plus another design, check out our logo bundles. Or, if you'd like something completely different, you can browse our full range of design categories. And if you've just finished a contest, you can talk to your winning designer about doing a new project.

You'll receive a single design at the end of your contest, and this design can include a color variation such as color vs grayscale, a layout variation such as vertical vs horizontal, or simply an icon-only layout. If you require more substantial variations or edits, you can negotiate the price of these with your winning designer.

There are a total of 7 days within the Qualifying and Final rounds of your contest, after which you choose your winning design. If you'd like a faster turnaround, you can also run a fast-tracked contest.
