Mediafly
A $210 logo design project90 entries in 12 days
Please tell us a little about Mediafly. Mediafly is a media distribution company that delivers rich media to a broad array of internet-enabled devices including, but not limited to, the Apple iPhone and iPad, Google Android and Blackberry smart phones, and set-top TV devices. Why did you decide to use crowdSPRING? Mediafly needed a logo to help brand the business. Although we had the capability inhouse to create a new logo, we decided to post our project on crowdSPRING. We're a small company. I have programmers that have design capability, but when one of my best developers is working on a graphic design project, their resources aren't being used somewhere else. Was your crowdSPRING project successful? Yes! During our 12 day project on crowdSPRING, Mediafly received 90 custom logo designs from 20 different designers around the world. We ultimately selected the logo that you see in the video. How many other projects have you posted on crowdSPRING? Over the past year, Mediafly has posted 9 other projects on crowdSPRING. How has crowdSPRING improved your business? I don't think we would be able to operate as a rapidly growing technology company without crowdSPRING.

We were looking for a book cover that would appeal to our readers. We posted the project on crowdSPRING because the cost is certainly very reasonable and because I love the creative collaboration that results. Was your crowdSPRING project successful? There is no experience like crowdSPRING and I am now a huge fan. During our 11 day project on crowdSPRING, we received 73 cover designs from 10 different designers around the world.

Frequently asked questions
Why is print design important?
We see print design all around us – in magazines, advertisements, on product packaging, on the web, in newspapers, etc. As a result, businesses of all sizes, from one person start-ups to small and mid-size businesses to international conglomerates, need print design to help stand out from competitors. After all, print design can help a company to more effectively market its products or services to customers. Print design can also help individuals and businesses to build their brands offline and online, including on social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Classmates, Bebo, hi5, LinkedIn, and others. And while modern software tools like Photoshop have made it easier for people to dabble in print design, individuals and businesses could benefit from looking to others to help with their creative design needs. The cost to buy print design varies widely among firms, designers, and also varies significantly by geography.
How important is paper size when used in print design?
Paper size is important because standard sizes typically cost less than custom sizes, but don't let standard sizes hold you back. Smaller booklets are easier to take with you, and square booklets can be more interesting than normal size booklets.
How much content should I use in my print design?
Almost always - less is more when it comes to content. If you feel like there's too much content on your page - you're probably right and you should eliminate some of the content. Think about what's truly necessary and remove anything that isn't. When people see too much content on a page, they might simply ignore all of it rather than reading some of it. Ask your designers whether they'd recommend removing or rewriting some of the content to make the design stand out more.
Are there any special requirements for photographs used in a print design?
Yes. You should always use high quality source materials in a print design. That means that you'll want a photo in the highest resolution you have available - a poor resolution photo can make a print design look really bad and pixelated. If you're not sure whether a photo will work in a particular print design, ask designers for some advice or suggestions and offer them a few different photos to use
How important is typography in print design?
Typography is extremely important in print design. If the typographical setup is bad, nothing will fix the overall design. The fonts used the most set the tone for the design's overall feel. If you're unsure about a font in a particular print design, ask the designer to show you a variation with another font. Designers will typically try numerous font variations and will show you what they think works best, but sometimes, you'll like a variation that they might not have liked as much as the one they suggested to you.
