Branded Logo Design Logo Bench AWFUL SCAM do NOT use for Logo or Collateral Worldwide Internet

these are the same people as branded logo designs (trying to be sneaky and use multiple names), so here's my review of them...

please please please DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. and i use the word "people" VERY lightly.

they are RIP OFFS who ONLY want your money and refuse to not only do your projects, they keep trying to sell you other projects and then refuse to also take your name off of any email and phone lists, regardless of us cann-spam act laws. oh, wait, they're not really in the usa, so it doesn't really matter, does it?

my story - i totally fell for their logos and reviews on their site (of course they're good there! but check better business bureau, the ripoff report, anywhere else, you'll see these people are complete sheisters)

OVER TWO YEARS AGO... they did my logo (after MUCH back and forth because their english wasn't good enough and they generally didn't pay attention to my comments when i sent them in) and, even though it took much longer than expected (almost 6 months) it turned out pretty good.

they offered to take that and make collateral (biz cards, letterhead, etc) from it and i thought why not.

here's why not:

they are NOT HONEST at all. they hire whomever (i'm guessing they're based in india based on accents) and then these people do HORRIBLE work. i went back and forth back and forth EVEN ADDING ARROWS AND RESPELLINGS AND AND AND TO THEIR ARTWORK AND THEY STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND. how can a company specializing in web-based design not understand that emails don't use capital letters?

they do not respond to emails because they keep either firing their "project managers" or they quit. i've had SO MANY emails go for weeks not being responded to and when i call in (because you know they're not going to tell you... they want you to spend months not hearing from them... see below) they inform me that the person has left.

then, if you don't have contact VIA THEIR PORTAL (i.e. NOT through email, which is through their own company!!) within a couple of months they refuse to acknowledge that you ever sent anything and try to charge you an extra fee to "restart" your account - anywhere from 50-100 bucks per time. the thing is - you've emailed many times and the project manager emailed back at some point so you know the company got the emails!!! 

when you finally resolve that you're never going to get your projects from these hacks, they continue to hound you with emails and phone calls.

then to top it off, when you call again to say take my name off of your lists, they say they "don't have a list" and that you are lying. yes, he literally said i was lying.

i'm absolutely flabbergasted that these "people" (read: miscreants) are still in business. i guess there are a lot of idiots (myself included) that fall for them.

please DO NOT be as stupid as i was.
