50 Dollar Logo
Reviews and Complaints

Unfortunately I can confirm the same! I have used a number of times in the past few years but this last time they indeed took my money and never even border to reply to me. It is a shame because I will not waste any opportunity to bad mouth them from now on. It is confirmed - they are a SCAM! It makes me so angry that they are there ripping random people off. PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM THEM AS THEY ARE NOT HONEST BUSINESS PEOPLE!

A reputable business will show you samples before you pay! Do not go with thes guys!

I order a logo from this site on 7/13 with their 100% 5 day refund guarantee only to be waiting (now 9/19) for my refund that I'm never going to get back! This company is a complete scam and I think that everyone that has been ripped off by them should join together and sue to shut these ### down! I've been on hold ALL day long with people at their company trying my hardest to get my refund. They were only supposed to charge me $125, but instead the charge processed as $141.25. These idiots not only suck at their designs, but at math as well. Their phone number (not listed on their site) is [protected]. I've been calling and harassing them, and will continue to do so until I receive my money back!

HI guys,
I had a very bad experience with this company. Although in the end I got my money back with the help of my bank, it was really time-consuming. Anyway, I think it is worthy to punish the bad guys. I think the bad experience should be similar to yours: bad design, no advice was take in the revision and promised to refund and even told you that they have refunded but nothing happened.
I’d like to share some tips to fight against the vicious company.
1, Keep all the on-line chatting records with them. Please note that there is a chatting record email can be sent by their system. The e-mail is sent by a company named 50dollarlogo which is a sister company to it. Together with 25poundlogo, they are all notorious;
2, Keep all the emails you wrote to them, of course, they would never reply email to you when you begin to ask refund;
3, Ask them about their address, tell them directly that you want to write a letter to them to claim your right. Mail the letter recorded. Whether they receive the letter or not is not important. If they received, they must reply you in written or refund you. If the letter is sent back to you, it just certify that even their address are not true.
4, If the time is long enough and all the evidences pointing to a spam, you can turn to your bank to ask help. If you paid by credit card, you can also ask help from the card association. If you paid by debit card as me, you can ask for a debit card charge back. Keep in mind, I bet the first reaction of bank is to refuse your claim. But don’t give up, write a complaint letter to the bank and send it by a record mail. They will contact you and direct you to the department dealing with fraud. Following their directions, describe the whole story, attach the online contract (esp the 100% refund guarantee), the mails, emails and on-line chatting records, if you like, the comments about the company on line. Then your bank will investigate, if there is no problem, they will ask the company’s bank to investigate and charge the money back to you. If you success, the company will also be fined.
From experience, I would strongly advise avoiding Logo Design Guarantee. They are too cheap to be true. If you are already in the trouble, don’t give up, you will win in the end and the company should be punished.

I hope this helps.

Designs are terrible, refunds are impossible to receive. They are liars and theives!

I too have been stung. I paid for a logo in November 2008, didn't get it, asked for a refund, no replies to emails unless I disguise myself as a potential client. Nochec will not refund the money and it is now April '09.

It's not so much the money but the time taken trying to first get the logo you ordered then second get the refund.

I think it might be time to play with 50DollarLogo's online capabilities :-)

I too was shocked at the poor quality of the logos I was sent from 25pound Logo, I actually got the 50pound package! I demanded a refund, it took 3 emails for them to take notice..then they agreed in 21 days I would have a refund, which they have not done and its been way over a month! I feel stupid for falling for them in the first place, theyre logos dont even look great on the site..but what they send you is 100% worse, shocking in fact!
I will have to contact trading standards and my credit card company.

25pound Logo are complete con artists, shame on them!

This company is a scam. The phone number posted online is constantly off the hook. They have a chat function but they give you a canned response. They do not respond to emails. The logo work is poor and they do not listen to the changes/edits that you provide them with. Their website has been down for over a week and customers have no clue when they will give you access to their work. I found out that their sister company is called Logo Design Guarantee. They have a phone number so call them. But beware - they hung up on my 3x. Do not use them.

Do not use this site. It is awful. I was sent logo's that came straight from clip art. Don't use them, stay well away.

Just thought I'd update - after I made it my business to hound them this week I've actually got my money back! It's real & sitting in my bank & not just another promise!

I had to get very legal with them though & warn them of my persistence, so it's heartening to know that it is possible to squeeze your cash (and the transaction fee for the unnecessary currency exchange) back out of them.

Lesson learned for me. Best of luck everyone.

Total ripoff merchants - I realised my foolish mistake & cancelled within half an hour of dealing with them so no service & no refund.

Been lied to, string along & fobbed off for weeks but I will get my refund through my bank.

It is not helpful of people to tell us we're stupid - it is however helpful if people who've had a bad experience share it with others as a warning.

Trying to prevent others from having a bad experience is charitable & admitable. Being a know all certainly is not.

Good luck to anyone pursuing a refund & to anyone else considering using Logo Design Guarantee - avoid like the plague.

I eventually used a fantastic, professional design company called British Design Logo for around £85+VAT.

I was too ripped off by this company. They sent me many logos, not even remotely comparable to there portfolio, it was a reference 'abina' although from looking on other forum websites, it looks like this name is used quite a lot. They do rubbish designs, they send email after email saying they will look into my request when asking for a refund, i was very polite up until a point, when i emailed them asking for an update on my refund and then since then i have been getting an automated email saying this:

Dear Stephanie

Thank you for your order with Logo Design Guarantee.

Before we can actually begin work on your design requirements we stress that we require payment before we can start. This email is just a reminder for payment.

Payment can be made via this secure link:

http://logodesignguarantee.co.uk/payment.php

If you have made payment already then please feel free to ignore this email. We would have successfully received your payment. We would have already been notified via our internal system.

If you wish to ask any questions, you can do so by replying to this email.

With every business success.

I get one of these emails pretty much every day. I would say if anyone at all is looking at working with this company think again, You will not get a remotely good logo and you will never get a refund. SCAM SCAM SCAM 50dollar logo also known as 25 dollar logo etc. They steal your money ! These Criminals should be locked up...

logodesignguarantee is ripping people off and the message needs to get out to people before anyone else parts with any money. This firm will take your money and if you dont like the crapy designs they send you, you will never see your money again. Dont believe the 100% money back guarantee promised on their website. These people are crooks and the sooner the message gets out there, the less people will get burnt by these crooks. I paid £437 for logo and website design and have tried everything to get a refund. Hopefully this business will soon be shut down and nowone else will get scammed by these thieves.

www.logodesignguarantee.co.uk are part of the same, they have the same graphics and also use the same gmail address. All other email addresses listed for people are fake. Both 50DollarLogo.com and logodesignguarantee.co.uk web pages are littered with viruses, so watch out. I am now trying to get my £54 back.

I have just made use of the 50dollarlogo service and I was pleasantly surprised! I thought I would try out the service as it was great value @£59 for 12 logo designs.

Unfortunately, where they let themselves down is that nobody knows who they are or where they are based. There is no contact number or address and they advertise that they use PayPal for our transactions. They in fact use NOCHEX which does not carry the same guarantees and protection for the customer as PayPal. So naturally I started to get concerned after I did not get a confirmation email for my order or receipt email for my purchase. I gave it 24 hours and still no response, so I used their customer service email portal to send them an email raising my concerns and requesting some contact, otherwise I would get my bank to block payment. I did get a response, but I still felt uncomfortable.

After 48 hours when my logos had been guaranteed to arrive by email, there was no sign of them, so I contacted my bank and requested the payment be block from leaving my account. My bank agreed and offered to investigate fraud if it was found to be the case. I sent an email through the portal again explaining what I had done and that I wanted my order to be cancelled.

To my surprise 65 hours after making my order, an email came through with 12 logo designs attached. The designs are limited but would be more than adequate for most local business to consumer use. My business is UK and Europe Business to Business, so the standard of the logos would not fit with what I need. However, these logos are a better standard to some of my competitors' logos, so I can not knock the design work. I have paid for what I got £59 for 12 OK logos. A professional graphic designer charges that per hour, so 50dollarlogo do offer value for money.

They do need to work on their customer service and be more open and honest about themselves and where they are based. It is OK if they are based in Asia because we can get value for money by using their service. But more of an effort needs to be made by them to make customers feel more secure and comfortable!

Speed 9/10
Value for money 10/10 (If you are lucky enough to receive your product)!

Yes, all I can say is be careful. Better yet, go somewhere else to get a logo!

I hired this company to creat a logo for my business. I am now being accused of copyright infringement by a US based company that created the almost identical logo for one of their clients a year prior to my logo being 'created'. I can't get a response from the company and now their online 'live' support won't even acknowlege me - they change their status to offline everytime I try to contact them.

I applied for a logo through this outfit but the designs I recieved resembled something put together by a ###ed 2 year old. I then applied for a refund which they said they would do, but never followed through. I received no further correspondance despite numerous emails.

I've got the same crappy treatment... God this is the first time in 15 years on the internet that I get scammed... I really feel dumb, but at that pricing level you don't get the reflex of a simple 50 dollar logo +scam search off google...

I gave them a clear path to execute upon, they didn't bother reading it, they came out with crap straight out of a software like MyLogoMaker. I thought I wouldn't push them for too many revisions at that price but at least I would get a base idea to build upon, the stuff was so far off it was completely useless. They delivered 2 days late from the stated date they would deliver, and worst, I never got the revisisons. When asking for a refund, they simply stopped answering.

To ANYONE who has issues with them, 3 things to do, DOCUMENT everything, CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT, and POST YOUR STORY ONLINE so that these sites get way up in searches and stop people from getting frauded. Documenting will help to push the case, and calling credit card company to block off further transaction will leave wither nochex in trouble because no credit card will allow payment to them, and at some point volume alone WILL make it launch a police investigation.

it's amazing the numbers of complaints out there...

I to have been ripped off by 50 dollar log. The didn't listen to what kind of Logo I wanted and sent one back to me with in 6 hours. It's was very unprofessional and it look like it came from their clip art book.

I am still waiting on my refund and will contact my credit card company to reverse the bogus charges.

They may be the same company but I an experiencing the same thing with 40 dollars logo. This is insane and people should be made aware that they are scam artist who take your money and then cease all form of communication. Never took the time to write bad reviews online but this is a first. I will be contacting my credit card company. I have no logo.

I was charged $85.42 (although their website said the cost was $79). After three weeks, I still haven't received my logo design and they don't respond to my emails.

This company is a big rip off! DO NOT USE THEM!

I'm going through the same thing with 40dollarlogo.com

I'm the latest victim ... I had to speak with an as... named Mark ... he was very confident that I can not do nothing to them, well I will just file a case with the FBI electronic crime div. :o(

THIS 50 DOLLAR LOGO, IF YOU CAN CALL IT A COMPANY ...IS A SCAM THEY TOOK MY MONEY LAST YEAR OF 2010 AND NEVER RECIVED ANYTHING ! SCAM SCAM SCAM DO NOT TRUST IN THIS COMPANY ! SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET OUR MONEY BACK?

Jez'o I dont know why I didn't checkout their cred before I parted with my money sigh! As all have said designs were very poor, just different colours of text and bog standard clipart from a cheap package.
WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AND PASS THIS ON

I paid £437 for a logo and website design on 9th Nov 2010. When logodesignguarantee sent me the logos, I asked for a refund due to the poor quality designs they sent me. Whenever I email then they ask for 'one more chance' and after many emails demanding a refund, I have got nowhere. I have contacted Nochex and my credit card company and am hoping they can help.

we can track him down he is in Lisbon United Kingdom
and he have a new website now he change the interface of his 50dollardesign.com ||50dollarlogodesign.co.uk logo to logodesignguarantee.com as well as logodesignguarantee.co.uk still gon' investigate...
