    I had a logo design done and it turns out the face part is from face.com

    Iv asked for a refund, had no reply as of yet.

    That's why you should consider paying $100+ for logo. There is a reason for cheap logos, and you actually get for what you pay.

    I say wait to hear from that person, if no word then call them out.

    I don't believe that. You can buy a coach purse for $300 or a fake coach purse for $50 (made in the same factory)
    Just cause you pay more does not mean it is of better quality, just means you didn't do your research.

    I still don't buy it. I have paid $100 for a logo when I first started and as low as $5 and I'll take my chances with a $10 logo any day. That gives me 10 times to try if I'm not happy with it. ha

    I think you should probably remove it before face.com see it....

    I went to face.com and there was no site, nothing. Also can i see your site.

    there are soo many scammers everywhere. There are threads of people on DP bragging how they sell logos for $100 and hire people on fiverr to do it for $5 -> so (like the purse anology) you can buy a crap logo for $5 direct, or end up paying $100 for the exact same logo from the same designer. Theres others that brag of selling logos for $xxx and hiring people for $100 and the cycle continues.

    I personally wouldnt have an issue with paying more for locals to do all my design and development work if the website could realistically earn enough to justify the costs.

    LOL, now that I checked, this guy seriously copied the logo and used Hue/Saturation xD. He did a bad crop(rendering) job too LAWL.

    EDIT: I believe I got a design you might like lying around in my hard drive, I'll try yo find that and send it to you. I had made it long back, never got a chance to use it.


    Oh, boy I can't agree more about investing to justify the costs. I invested more than 200 Bucks in my site and seriously it achieved a lot in 3 months time. I'm planning to invest more now. When you see result you definitely want to invest.

    And yeah, fiverr outsourcing, this has gone too mainstream these days.

    Imho, finding the right designer/coder is the hardest thing ever. Took me 10 wordpress developers who all took my money to give me some crap codes to finally find the top notch one who does charge high but knows his stuff. I still stand by my motto: "Price matters"

    I think you should try to get a refund but am wondering.
    Isn't there any rules which people selling search items have to follow?
    I think there must be a way to make him refund or get punished for the fact that he accepted your order in the first place.

    Face.com was acquired by facebook.com however that logo you will be using is an exact copy and you cannot use it future also.So remove it.

    Well the Logo seems too silly for 100$, you should have tried making logo on your own using AAA Logo software, i used to use this when i was new and didn't knew how to use PhotoShop :p, Sorry if i have offended you
