Basics



What is a design package?

A design package is actually is designing job for the design team to work and create the final design for a client’s design brief.

The project has three stages that take place over a number of days.

Assigned 99Logos.com designers and team will study the design brief provided by the client and will create the appropriate designs according the project. They work for the client by submitting designs that meet the brief.

The client gives feedback and direction to the designer(s) to help them improve on their designs through round of revisions.

Finally, the client picks a final design. The designer needs to handover the source files of design to the client.

How many designs will I get to choose from?

That depends on how many designers are working on your project and you handle your project.

We provide a rough guide to how many designs you’re likely to get on our Pricing Page. Just select the category you're interested in, and you’ll see a rough guide to the number of entries you’re likely to see depending on whether you’re offering project type and addon designer package.

But there are no guarantees about how many designs you’ll get. The number of designs will depend a lot upon you. Basically you can consider ~5 designs per designer. More number of designers can create more number of designs. Here are a few tips for increasing the number of entries in your design project:

  • Share your clear thoughts with designer.

  • Develop good and humble conversation with designer.

  • Encourage designer by using our design rating system.
