Is your business in search of a new logo, web site or other type of design work? Your solution may be just a "contest" away!
You may want to take a look at a new offering from Intuit Creative Solutions. This service, which is powered by 99designs allows you to quickly and easily create a design contest where thousands of designers may compete to create the best possible design to meet your needs.
This service is as simple as taking the following steps:
- Create a design brief where you scope out your project. There is a fee of $39 plus 10% of the "prize amount" being offered to the winning designer to post your project. Minimum fees are posted on the web site.
- Set a budget, which is also known as the "winning prize". This is the amount you agree to pay to the winning designer to purchase their work.
- Work with the designers to hone your idea and concept.
- Choose the winning designer, pay the agreed amount "prize" to the designer and receive the final artwork from them.
There are many design contest currently posted, so you can easily see how this process works.
This is an interesting idea that has popped out of the Creative Solutions Group of Intuit, the makers of QuickBooks software.
Post your thoughts on the concept below...

I too will be interested to see how this product is received. It may be a bit of a foreign concept (i.e. going online for these services and having choices to select from) to many traditional businesses, but the potential value for them is terrific!
