These days there are tons of logo design companies out there
competing to grab a slice of the online designing pie. Who could blame them? As
we are heading towards a more digital age where most business transactions are
carried out digitally and on the Internet, this opens up a huge and untapped
opportunity for designing firms to offer design services online – diverging
from the traditional brick-and-mortar design studio. But as consumers, how do
we actually select the best online design service provider that would meet our
needs with quality designs? Well, checking out the awards and recognitions
conferred to the company might be a good benchmark to start with. That’s what
anyone would typically do as it allows for a more objective comparison aside
from customers’ testimonials.
However, there exists a minority of design companies which
is somehow misleading the public of its awards and industry recognitions by
putting up huge award titles under the ‘Awards’ page such as the Red Dot Award
and the Summit International Awards but do not have the actual awards to prove
it. Not only will this give the wrong impression about the company’s past
history, it will also impinge on customers’ expectations on the designs that
they will be receiving. In order to prevent any such misgivings in the future,
carry out the necessary research before committing with a particular online
design service provider as what TheLogoBuzz had preached over and over again on
this blog.
Another issue worth mentioning is the use of VeriSign
authentication seals. Most individuals, including myself, feel more comfortable
doing online transactions at websites which are VeriSign certified but in some
cases forgery of the seal does happen. To avoid the risk of having your
financial credentials being compromised, I would recommend you to click on the
VeriSign seal which should pop open a new window with relevant security
information. If the VeriSign certificate
is genuine then the web address will begin with this: https://seal.verisign.com while on the
other hand, if the web address does not begin with that aforementioned address then
the certificate is a dubious one. Immediately report any fake VeriSign
certificates to VeriSign and try to avoid doing business of any kind with a
website that displays a fake VeriSign certificate. It is too risky to put your
credit card information that might fall into the wrong hands…
I hope that these pointers would help you in your decision
in choosing the right online design service provider that is not only
legitimate and trustworthy but can provide quality designs as well. Until next
time!
