What is crowdspring?

Question 1

Answer

crowdspring is a global platform where 220,000+ experienced designers and namers help businesses, entrepreneurs, agencies, and nonprofits with everything from custom logo design, to web design, to graphic design, product packaging, and even unique business names. We have 33 custom design and naming categories and flexible pricing (typically 10X to 50x lower than alternatives) that is perfect for businesses of any size.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Answer

Business naming packages start at $299, while projects with a single namer (1-to-1 projects) start at $200. All packages include the award to the namer and crowdspring’s fee, a custom legal contract giving you full rights to the name you’re buying, 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.

Question 3

Will you own the name?

Answer

Absolutely! Every project on crowdspring is protected by a custom legal contract giving you full rights to the name you’re buying. If you have multiple awards, you’ll have separate contracts for each. Once the contract is signed, you can use the name any way you like. You can change it or alter it in any way – it’s yours.

The non-winning names remain the property of the person who suggested those names. This means you may not use those other names 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 name you love.

Question 4

How many names can you expect?

Answer

You’ll see dozens of names from multiple namers (plus available URLs that match those name ideas). The more active you are in the project, the more name suggestions you will get. We’ll let you know every time a new name or comment comes in and invite you to give feedback. Years of experience show us that projects with active clients will receive more than double the names compared to projects with low client participation.

Question 5

Can you buy more than one name?

Answer

Like more than one name? 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 names after your project has been awarded.

Question 6

Can you ask namers to tweak the names?

Answer

Absolutely! In fact, this is a key factor for success. Once the names start rolling in, let the creatives know what you think about their name ideas. 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 suggestions.

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

Question 7

How long will you have to pick the winner?

Answer

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

Question 8

What happens after you pick the winner?

Answer

In naming projects, you’ll have a private area to complete the project with the namer you chose. If you have more than one award, you’ll have a separate wrap-up with each namer. You’ll sign the contract and confirm the name and that’s it - it’s yours.

Question 9

Do you receive domain suggestions along with the name?

Answer

Yes! When namers submit name ideas, the’ll also let you know if an accompanying domain is available for registration or if one is available for purchase from a third-party (and the price).
