When it comes to value for money, BizLogo.com is in a class of its own. No other logo firm comes close to offering the same value at these prices, so it looks like BizLogo is sitting pretty at #1 for the foreseeable future.
This is a South African design firm with most of their clients in the US, the UK and Australia. Being based in South Africa has massive advantages. The lower cost of living in South Africa means that $100 US goes much further down there than in the States. With much lower expenses, they can afford to charge very low design fees. Of course the fact that they are in South Africa has its disadvantages as well. You can call them, but only at standard international rates.
There are other designers in countries like India that can compete with BizLogo's prices, but logo design is about more than price. English is often a real obstacle for logo designers in non-English speaking countries. BizLogo is an exception to the rule. English is an official language in South Africa and the BizLogo team communicates effortlessly, both on their site and in emails.
Another reason for their competitiveness is that they have been in business - in one form or another - since 1997, although they only started using the BizLogo name in 2003. Few online logo designers can claim a longer history. Their experience means that they should by now have their processes streamlined to the point where they are at maximum efficiency, which again translates into savings that they can pass on to the client.
BizLogo claims to do it all, including web site design, but their web site is very much focused on logo design. For example, their portfolio overflows with logo examples, but not a single web site design example.
BizLogo also offers unique "pre-designed" logos, nicely categorized. These logos are not resold. They have over 1000 pre-designed logos to choose from, but a large percentage of them have been marked as "Sold". The quality is fairly high and from time to time BizLogo adds new logos to the site.
The BizLogo portfolio is proof of a talented bunch of designers, but they are often criticized for their logos being too generic, especially in the "swooshes" category of their pre-designed logos.
BizLogo is ranked #1 for a reason. If you are in need of a new logo, you won't find better value for money.
If you want a custom logo you may want to contact them before ordering. Describe your requirements and ask for a price. Chances are that their quote will be lower than the prices advertised on the BizLogo site.
