Creating Your Logo – Tips For Startups And Established Small Businesses

Posted by Maureen Petron -- Looking to create – or recreate – your business brand with a logo? This article from Mashable gives 4 things to consider when creating your own logo, or outsourcing the design.

If you do look for a logo designer, the article suggests finding a recommendation from a colleague, or making sure to browse the designer’s work before engaging them for your project.

An NASE Member benefit lets you go a step further than just browsing a designer’s portfolio. CrowdSPRING lets you work with dozens of designers, see hundreds of concepts – for your specific project – set your own price, and select your perfect match.

At the crowdSPRING website, you describe your project and the price you want to pay, and then watch as graphic designers across the world offer you their ideas. You’re guaranteed to like the logo – or website design or stationary package or tshirt concept – that you commission, because you only pay for the one you want to purchase.

How do I know crowdSPRING really works? Because the NASE tested it out ourselves before bringing them into the NASE benefits package. When publishing the latest edition of Schedule C: from A to Z, I bid out the creation of the book’s cover design on crowdSPRING. 

 

Learn more about crowdSPRING and the NASE discount of $25 off any project you post. And if you use crowdSPRING for your design needs, tell us about the experience!

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers



Kristin Oberlander
- In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way stops.

- I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

- As President, one of my chief roles is to educate legislators and the media on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not speaking out for our members, I spend my time helping my husband with his small business.
