If you have more than one idea, list them all. We will try all of them and let you decide which one works best.
The more info you can give us here, the better. If you have examples of logos that you found on the web, paste the URL (web address) of those pages in this box. It really helps when our designers can actually see what direction you want to go with your logo. You can also email us your ideas. Email address you can found at contact page.
All this is not required of course, but seeing an example of what you are after sure helps us hit the mark much sooner.
Placing this order indicates acceptance of the standard Freshmeatdesign Terms of Service
Freshmeatdesign.com Terms Of Service COPYRIGHT ISSUES 1. The copyright to the final, accepted logo in all its forms is automatically transferred to the client upon completion of the design process. Freshmeatdesign.com will not have the right to resell or reuse the logo in any way. The only right Freshmeatdesign.com retains is the right to display all concept logos and the final logo design as part of our portfolio of past work, either on the Internet or any promotional material. 2. In the custom logo design process, many logos are created that are not accepted by the client. Freshmeatdesign.com will retain ownership of all such concept logos, except for the final (accepted) version of the logo which will become the exclusive property of the client. This does not apply to pre-designed logos where the concept designs and final logo are very similar. 3. Although each logo design is created from scratch and is 100% original, Freshmeatdesign.com cannot guarantee that a very similar logo does not already exist. Freshmeatdesign.com therefore offers no guarantee regarding the availability of trade names or trademarks. If a similar logo exists, Freshmeatdesign.com will work with the client to make the necessary alterations to the logo, free of charge. However, by ordering a logo design from Freshmeatdesign.com, the customer indemnifies Freshmeatdesign.com, it's owners and affiliated companies/affiliated individuals/logo designers from legal responsibility regarding all copyright, trade name and trademark issues. The customer agrees to take sole legal responsibility should the logo design be infringent upon existing intellectual property rights, copyrighted material, trade names or trademarks of any kind. 4. When a refund is requested, the customer loses copyright to the purchased logo(s) and may not use the logos for any purpose whatsoever. In such cases, the sole copyright of the logo designs in question will remain with Freshmeatdesign.com. Freshmeatdesign.com may, at its option, either reuse or destroy those logos. 5. Although Freshmeatdesign.com guarantees that all it's designs are original, it cannot always ascertain whether images submitted to it by a client are protected by copyright. When a client requests a logo to be drawn from an existing image, the client accepts full responsibility should the resulting logo infringe on the copyright of the original image. Freshmeatdesign.com will in all cases expect the client to, and assume that the client did, do the necessary research regarding ownership or copyright of the original image. By submitting an image to Freshmeatdesign.com, the client declares that he or she either owns the copyright to the image or has the necessary permission to use it. TURNAROUND TIMES 6. The turnaround times indicated on the web site cannot be guaranteed. We normally deliver batches of concept designs (custom logos) within 2 business days. We normally deliver pre-designed logos within 1 business day. In fact, since we started in 1999, we have only in very few cases failed to deliver within these time frames. We love happy clients and are 100% committed to delivering within the indicated turnaround times whenever humanly possible. 7. Long delays between submission of concept designs and client feedback can have a negative impact on our turnaround times. Although we are very patient and do not mind if you take your time pondering over the concept designs, our production schedule has only so many openings. If 2 weeks pass without any feedback from the client, the logo status remains "active" but the priority of the logo may be lowered. This does not apply to "rush" orders. 8. If we develop a logo for you and, at any stage of the process, you stop responding, your project status will remain "active" for 12 months. After 12 months the project status becomes "completed", which gives Freshmeatdesign the right to show the logo in its portfolio of past work, if it chooses to do so. Should you wish to resume the design work after 12 months, a new order must be submitted. Note that the 12-month deadline only applies in cases where the client stops responding. As long as we hear from you at least every 12 months, your project status will remain "active" until completed. REFUND POLICY 9. The Freshmeatdesign.com money-back guarantee is valid up to the completion of the design process or for 30 days, whichever comes first. The "design process" is defined as the timeframe from the moment of the order to the point where the client accepts a design as the final logo. 10. Freshmeatdesign.com has no control over spam filters applied by clients, their ISP's or the third party email providers. In cases where Freshmeatdesign.com cannot deliver designs to the client due to spam filters or email content filters of any kind preventing or blocking email from Freshmeatdesign.com to the client, the client does not qualify for a refund beyond the limitations of the refund policy. 11. The money-back guarantee always applies unless stated otherwise. Freshmeatdesign.com reserves the right to change the money-back guarantee on a case-by-case basis. Changes (if any) will be clearly communicated to the client prior to the commencement of the design process. 12. Freshmeatdesign.com reserves the right to issue a refund on any order if it chooses to cease work on the project. In such cases the client will be notified via email. Freshmeatdesign will not be under obligation to offer reasons for its decision. OWNERSHIP POLICY 13. Freshmeatdesign.com will make no claim of ownership to designs for which payment has been received. The final design becomes the sole property of the client who may use the design for any purpose. 14. Although Freshmeatdesign.com disables the link to the order page of pre-designed logos soon after they are purchased, it can happen that two clients order the same logo before the logo is marked as "Sold". In such cases, the first order to reach Freshmeatdesign.com is accepted. If your order is the second of the two, you may either request an immediate and full refund, or you may select any other available pre-designed logo from the site - even if it costs more than the one you paid for. 15. Although highly unlikely, it could happen that the same logo is sold more than once. Freshmeatdesign.com is committed to providing unique, once-off logos and has implemented a system dedicated to preventing duplicate sales, but in the event that the same logo is sold to more than one client, Freshmeatdesign.com will under no circumstances be liable for direct or indirect damages or loss exceeding the amount paid for the logo. In such cases the client(s) may request either a full refund of their purchase or a new logo. 16. Freshmeatdesign.com may display your designs on its web site and related web sites after they have been sold, provided that they form part of a portfolio of past work and is not offered for sale. We do however understand that your project might be confidential and that you might not want the designs made public prior to the launch of your product or service. In such cases you must very specifically ask that the designs be excluded from our portfolio. While we cannot guarantee that we will exclude your designs from our portfolio, we normally would have no problem excluding them for a period not exceeding 12 months. AFTER-SALES SERVICE POLICY 17. While Freshmeatdesign guarantees that you can use your designs for any process under the sun (such as printing it on a T-shirt, embroidery, letterheads etc.) the assumption is that modern processes are used. For example, if you want your logo printed onto a T-shirt and your printer uses some kind of obscure, stone-age stenciling technique, we reserve the right to charge extra if we have to create a version of the logo especially for that printing technique. 18. The term "unlimited alterations/revisions" obviously does not mean that we will keep making changes to your logo until the end of time. If we did that we would quickly become bogged down making free alterations to logos after they have been finalized. The term "unlimited alterations" means that we will keep working on your logo until you are satisfied - even if that takes until the end of time - but once you accept one of the concept designs as your final logo and we finalize it, that's it. The logo project is closed. If you then decide to change your company name for example, we will gladly refinalize your logo for you with the new company name, but a minimum design fee of $40 applies for changes after finalization. The actual fee is usually $40, but that depends on the complexity of the changes. 19. In the highly unlikely event of a design error slipping through on one of the design files, Freshmeatdesign will correct the error free of charge, provided that the error is on our side. Freshmeatdesign will however not be liable for any damages or loss incurred as a result of an error, even if the error is on our side and was brought to our attention. Clients are urged to check designs closely and to proofread all text prior to accepting a design. 20. Freshmeatdesign.com may change specifications of logo design packages, prices and the Terms of Service above at its discretion and without notice. The only exception to this is that Freshmeatdesign.com will not alter its copyright policy above in such a way that the copyright to the final logo image is not transferred to the client.
