CHICAGO, IL — (Marketwire) — 07/20/11 — Chicago-based Logolance today announced they will be showcasing their innovative model for web-based brand design at the Chicago technology expo, TechWeek, from Friday to Monday in the Merchandise Mart. Logolance, which launched in April, features a select community of talented professional brand designers, and was built to solve the many problems plaguing the practice of design crowdsourcing.
The early momentum of the crowdsourcing phenomenon has been challenged considerably in recent months by the problems associated with the practice. In the design crowdsourcing model (community-based design), companies outsource design work to undefined large groups of people that submit design concepts for free in hopes that the client will pay them for their work. In a design contest that involves 100 designers, 99 designers will walk away unpaid, while one will be reimbursed for their efforts.
This practice has drawn the ire of many within the design industry because of problems with low-quality design, copyright infringement, and ethics concerns. Logolance helps solve these problems and addresses the concerns held by professional designers while still fulfilling clients- demands for reviewing and communicating with multiple designers.
“We-ve set out to create the first viable option for professional designers to connect with legitimate clients that are willing to invest the money to receive high-quality design,” said Michael Siegler, Founder of Logolance. “Great designers do not work for free, so they won-t get involved in crowdsourcing, and you won-t find them on outsourcing-focused freelance sites. However, they buy into our model, and are excited that we value design and the professional design process.”
Logolance will be exhibiting at TechWeek from Friday, July 22nd, to Monday, July 25th at booth 7-8060. Representatives will be present for media requests, answer questions, provide demos, and distribute marketing material. Press kits will be available for the media.
Logolance.com is where great companies connect with talented professional logo designers and avoid the agency overhead. The website enables clients to receive proposals from designers that match their desired style and budget and choose the right designer for their project. The core offering at Logolance includes a market research module that allows clients to collect the data they need to make strategic and informed decisions about their brand.
