Branded logo deisgns (custom logo/website/media design website) Internet

I was looking for a logo design at reasonable price. while searching the internet I stumbled upon a website called www.brandedlogodesigns.com they seemed to have done good designs based on their portfolio. the live chat support kept asking to initiat a session so i did. Gave all design details, they were trying to push me to buy more expensive packages. we agreed to do a design worth of 300$.

About 4 days later I got notified by their system to review the designs, 8 out of ten of the designs were very basic and generic something that looks like it came out of one of those logo design program. two of the deisgns were somewhat related to what I asked, but were also horrible in terms of design elements (shading,color,type,organization, etc).

So I replied to them to read my requirments and design something based on what I asked, i.e. somthing related to the image of my project. couple of days later, they returned with different designs, but almost as basic and ugly as the first ones. nothing at all which compares to their portfolio. and the cycle keeps going untill you get bored and they get away with the money.

I know some basics of designs, and I could make a much better design than those auto generated ones.

I wrote to them saying to put some more effort and change the designer because im not satisfied at all, and asked for a refund. also tried the contact us page (which keeps telling me to enter a valid email address, even though I did). I got a reply from the same guy who keeps sending me the designs (the project manager or whatever) he sent designs within the same quality.

they try to look professional, and assign you a team of deisgners and a support team etc etc, you only get replys of ugly logos, no matter what was written in your message.

I wish I have done more search on them as it seems many people have previously been scammed by this so called "company". here are some reviews i collected from the internet just so they get more circulation and people hopefully wont get scammed.

"All their reviews on here are obviously written by them. They are scammers plain and simple. They looked legit so I forked over $150. A couple days later I get some very basic logo ideas. 6 out of 10 were obvious throwaways that nobody spend more than a couple minutes "designing". The other 4 were ok but unimaginative. I gave some critiques and a couple days later I received a few more uninspiring revised logos but they did not listen to 90% of my requests.

A few days later I get another revision that they did not follow directions on. I asked them to please listen to my requests. I got a disrespectful response. I asked for a refund and they said they would refund my money but three weeks later no refund and they quit responding to my emails. Their company name is really Logo Bench, google them and you'll see there are plenty of angry customers they ripped off. Soon enough they will shut down Brandedlogodesigns.com and put up a new company and keep scamming. "

"Branded logo designs has been the biggest waste of money! They asked for a sample of something I had in mid for my business. I sent it to them. I received the logo's to choose from, 3 of the ten logos was my exact sample with different colors and fonts! Everything else I received was mediocre at best. I have had to do my owe design everyday telling them exactly what to do. I have asked on several occasions for a refund as I have done the work for them and they refuse to honor their refund policy. I have since hired a professional to do my logo. Stay away from this outfit!!!!! "

Avoid them at all costs, unless you want to be scammed.
