PROCESS

What are the benefits of working through Upwork?

Upwork, formerly Elance-oDesk, is an American freelancing platform where enterprises and individuals connect in order to conduct business.

Cooperation through Upwork gives you the assurance of project execution, safety and security of your payments, and a convenient tool for communication.

What are the options for working with you?

They are three ways to launch your project:

  1. Upwork – Direct Contract: the most comfortable cooperation option. We create and send contract proposals to you. You receive the link to your email and follow the instructions. Fill in the information about yourself and deposit project funds in Upwork escrow. We will start designing when the contract has been created. You can use Upwork messenger or any other way to communicate with us. Once you’ve approved our work, the funds are released to us.
  2. Upwork – Registration. As in the first case, you get all the benefits of working through Upwork, such as the assurance of project execution, safety and security of your payments, and a convenient tool for communication, but you need to sign up on Upwork, post the job and invite us to apply.
  3. Direct cooperation. Before launching the project, our specialists communicate with you to identify the project needs and requirements. After we ask for 50% advanced payment. When the work has been successfully done, and all the project files have been sent, you pay for the remainder.

Every project is unique. You may not always have full information, technical assignment, or even vision. We ask you to provide all the information you have, including the following:

  • Name of the company / brand / services;
  • Information about your business, service or product;
  • What are the benefits and features of your product or service?
  • Who’s the target audience and what do we need to focus on?

The more we know, the better we can help!

How can I send you a technical assignment / brief?

You can send all project information (specifications, your vision, examples, etc.) by email, in messengers, on Upwork, or contact us in any convenient way, according to the chosen modality of cooperation.

How long does the design process take?

First logo samples and ideas will take from 7 to 10 days. After receiving your feedback and observations, we will proceed with the final logo design. It will take from 3 to 14 days. In general, from start to finish we usually allow approximately 8-24 days to complete a logo design project in its entirety.

The time needed to create a brand identity or different design works will greatly depend on your unique project requirements. After discussing this with you, we’ll prepare a full proposal including timescales tailored to your project.

How many logos will I receive?

We will provide 3-5 initial concepts which we believe meet your company’s objectives.

If you feel the final logo design could be modified in any way to better suit your requirements, this is when necessary changes will be made. Also, we can create 3 additional design samples.

Our team is result-oriented. It’s important to us that the logo not only looks good but helps you achieve your goals. That’s why we always go the extra mile until we get the results that you need.

As for brand identity and promotional materials, we individually agree on the number of design samples.
