Dirt.com recently posted a
logo contest on DesignCrowd (
"Kick Ass Logo That Will Make You Famous") and in response received a whopping
630 playful logo designs. After recently selecting a winner (see below), Dirt.com founder Andrew Jacob agreed to share how he got 630 logo designs for $400!
What will Dirt.com do (once it launches)?
Dirt.com will be the World Exclusive Celebrity Gossip and Entertainment Site."
How did your logo contest go?
I have looked at the number of design submissions for DesignCrowd and [another crowdsourcing site like DesignCrowd*], and it looks like the [630] designs I have received may be a record on both sites (uncomfirmed)."

What did you do to make this contest successful?
In order to make the contest successful, one must have a great headline to attract attention of the designers (Kick Ass Logo Will Make You Famous), and a really great brief! In addition, it is important to stay in contact with the designers, and give them feedback! I really liked the ability to provide updates to the brief, and send messages to the designers."
What tips would you give other users of DesignCrowd and crowdsourcing?
1. Great headline 2. Great Brief 3. Get involved with designers through your dashboard and 4. Encourage Creativuty by asking designes to think outside the box"
