Where do you get App logos designed?


I've been heavily considering 99 Designs to get a logo made for the app I'm hoping to launch in the next few months. I need something that I can own that looks good as an icon and in an app, etc. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount. Most of the examples I've seen there however aren't like this, they are for a variety of other businesses. They've also scared me with the upsell language where I have to commit and can't get a refund if I'm dissatisfied, and unless I got closer to $1,000 I'm not likely to get any good designers to submit.

Anyway, where have people that have made an app gotten their logos? Any experience with the 99 Designs Bronze plan? Is there a better place to go for an app icon?

In my experience, 99 Designs results in poor quality and ends up being a waste of time. Typically the designers just throw up whatever is quick to get entered. It’s a numbers game.

I recommend searching Dribbble (yes, 3 Bs) for a designer you like and then connect with them there. Some are very expensive but there are young designers there looking to build their own brand. Try it out.
