Welcome From Founding Moms

Projects run for 7 days, but you can shorten them to as little as 1 day if you're in a hurry. Many entries come in the last few days of a project, and we encourage you to wait until the project ends before picking your favorite (tell us if you want to close the project early). You can extend your project for free, up to 7 more days if you need more time.

Logo design packages start at $299, while projects with a single designer (1-to-1 projects) start at $200. All packages include the award to the designer and crowdspring's fee, a custom legal contract giving you full rights to the work you're buying, free focus groups, our award-winning customer support, tools and platform. You can select packages and features based on what you need and your budget. You will always know up front exactly what you'll pay, with no hidden costs and no surprises.

Absolutely! Every project on crowdspring is protected by a custom legal contract giving you full rights to the work you're buying. If you have multiple awards, you'll have separate contracts for each. Once the contract is signed and the creative is paid after you approve the final deliverables in your project, you can use the design (or name) any way you like. You can change it or alter it in any way – it's yours.

The non-winning work remains the property of the person who created that work. This means you may not use those other entries (or any portions of them) in any way. But we give you an easy way to add awards and make offers in your projects when you find more than one design (or name) you love.

You'll see dozens of designs from multiple designers. The more active you are in the project, the more designs you will get. We'll let you know every time a new design or comment comes in and invite you to give feedback. The more feedback you provide, the more designs you'll receive. Years of experience show us that projects with active clients will receive more than double the designs compared to projects with low client participation.

Absolutely! In fact, this is a key factor for success. Once the designs start rolling in, let the designers know what you think about their designs. You can score and give individual feedback. You can also update your brief if you want to address all participants in your project. They are happy to make changes and iterate on their designs.

When you score each entry (1 to 5 stars), your score and comments are private. Only you and the individual designer will see the star rating and comments on their design. Updates to your brief are public for all participants in the project.

Like more than one logo design? It happens all the time. You can start your project with multiple awards or add awards at any time during your project. You can also make offers on additional designs after your project has been awarded.

You have seven days to select your favorite after the project closes. Sometimes, you might need an extra few days. Just let us know when that happens.

In design projects, you'll have a private area to complete the project with the designer you chose. If you have more than one award, you'll have a separate wrap-up with each designer. Each of you will sign the legal contract for the project (giving you full rights once the designer is paid).

You can continue to iterate and request changes in wrap-up to make sure the design is just right. Once you approve the proof files, the designer will create and send final files for your approval. Once you approve the final files, we pay the designer and you own full rights to the work.

In naming projects, you'll sign the contract and confirm the name and that's it - it's yours.

For each project category, we'll recommend required file types and will ask the winning designer to provide you with appropriate final files. You can always request specific formats you or your printer require.
