Thanks to those who provide an alt view of the logo. To be honest, we are also pre-judged on our efforts as soon as someone says it cost 25.00. It works both ways.

We are often assailed by those in traditional design services who have an obvious grind against us. The thing is we do not compete for their clients…most people who may buy our affordable designs simply could not have budgeted into low or high 3-4 figures.

Also, when we design something it is in an ala carte business model. Meaning if they want to ‘tweak’, it only runs 10.00 for a revision round. We offer discounts on two of our packages for brand new follow-up designs. So even if they have an extra design or two created we are still very affordable for them. I will say that about 80-85 percent of our clients are satisfied with their first iteration.

Haecceity – we really do value any input, even this. But we just feel some of it can be overly snarky.

Our business services are popular, we do well. Since 2000 we have done over 30,000 designs and almost all our business is word of mouth generated.

Haecceity – Because I defended my design, my attitude sucks. Who is actually sucking here…why don’t you try something other than being a typical e-punk.

WE gave a good effort for Chris and his gut reaction is he liked it. When you put out a call for critique, on the net, you normally get a confluence of naysayers and negativism.

As much as you say the font isnt appropriate we can say it puts Chris in light as a down-to-business trainer, as he described himself. Chris asked for basically a text treatment including all the elements we worked in. He asked for one design. If he would have asked for two and paid for each (total of 2 designs) then he would have had two different looks to choose from.

Many clients do that and many say, “Let’s try one and if it doesn’t work we will give further direction and get a different look”.

My advice Chris is just don’t listen exclusively to those you tell you others’ attitudes suck with no provocation. Dude, you are ugh-worthy.

*GotLogos.com has been featured in Wired Magazine, NY Times, Lifehacker, Boing Boing, Print Magazine and newspapers all over the world. Our designs have been nominated blindly, several times, in SINGLE contests. Our designs are being used in some of the largest sites on the net today who have the budgets to hire much costlier design services, despite our remarkable affordability.

Hello- I am Daniel from https://www.Gotlogos.com and was the designer of this logo. I feel Chris got a very good, clean and professional treatment for his brand considering he directed us not to use typical style fitness figures in this logo and to basically make it a text treatment.

Some of the comments that followed were fair and some were harsh as is the nature of the Internet where everyone had an opinion and are not shy to offer their 2 cents worth.

Chris we appreciated your business and for $25.00, no matter what some of the naysayer type say, you did receive something you can work with well.

Please also remember that Chris had the option if he chose to have further tweaks done to this logo at only 10.00 per subsequent round.

A logo doesn’t always have to have figures/icons in it (as Chris seemed to indicate he did not wish, he wanted soemthing more low-key) to be brandable and as a matter of fact, most recignizeable brands out there ARE simply text treatments. I could look at the Microsoft logo and say, hey I ocul dhave doen that in two minutes in Photoshop. What is the point of that? Many of us can look at any concept and monkey it all day long. If that is what works for ethe client adn it is clean an dprofessional then it will reflect well on the brand.
