- ThePhysicist 6y agoWell it's not great if you discover a few years later that your logo is basically a copy of an existing one that might be trademarked. I had only bad experiences with people from 99designs, UpWork & Co., often designers straight out lie to you about their portfolio and work experience. I had the same experience with most agencies from East Europe, they have great showcases and promise good design but they often deliver low-quality results (in addition of demanding upfront payment). So personally I would never use such services again as I burned too much money through them. We have a saying in Germany that applies quite well to buying design services: If you buy cheap you'll buy twice.
