Finding affordable freelance graphic designers - has fiverr.com made this possible, or are you going to waste your money?

That was what I was wondering recently, and found my answer.  

You may have heard of fiverr.com, or you may have clicked over now because of this article.  Basically fiverr.com is a site where people will do freelance tasks for $5.  Well actually that's $4, since the other dollar is allocated for fiverr.com themselves. 

On this website, you will find that people will do all sorts of things for this $4, from writing your website name on their bodies and sending you a photo of it, to giving your website a review video, to giving you facebook likes, to drawing you pictures, to sing you a song, to recording voice-overs, and the list goes on and on and on. 

Recently I started revamping my website, and thought that perhaps it could be a good idea to have a professional logo done for it.  I've always done my own website logo designs, but something told me that it might be interesting to see what other people come up with.  Perhaps I could find an idea for a logo I would have never thought of myself!  It's always good to see how different people think about the same thing. 

And so, I looked for logo designers on fiverr.com and judging from their sample pictures and client votes, I selected three that seemed at first glance to deliver quality work. 

I paid and gave them all the following brief for my logo:

"Good evening! I'd like a logo for MagicalDimension.Com. (Do not refer to the current website www.magicaldimension.com; this logo is part of a complete revamp and a new direction for the site). Something that speaks a bit of high ideals mixed with just a touch of magic and feel-good. Maybe something gold and shiny, or flying, godly and free.

MagicalDimension.Com is going to be a site where a collection of exclusive trippy series of videos will be broadcast. So the logo must speak fantasticness, wonder, specialness and attractiveness. While at the same time being simple perhaps? I'll leave it to your talents to decide how simple or complex it needs to be.

Perhaps you should also give me two versions of it, one that will fit on a white background and one on a black background. I'll be looking forward to see what you come up with!"

Certainly from that brief they must feel the kind of energy that the logo should bespeak?  Yeah.  I think so :) 

So, what quality of work did I get from these fiverr.com supplied graphic designers?  Did they provide me with logos that would remain eternally unimprovable?  Was I going to fall in love with fiverr.com because of the experience and hire from there forever more?  Click here now to find out...
