It was all done over the internet and was very swift. I gave them a design brief based on a questionnaire you fill in and then I received seven initial concepts from several different designers. I had to choose one of those to take forward and after two rounds of revisions my logo was complete to my satisfaction. The whole process took about 2 weeks and I was very pleased with the results.

I blogged about the process and got some hate mail from graphic designers about LogoWorks being the scum of the earth, but my experience was very pleasant. They were prompt, courteous, gave me a wide selection to choose from and a very satisfying result for an economical price. The impression I got about graphic designers from the mail I received and the anti-LogoWorks forums I was pointed at was less favorable.

The initial concepts I received can be viewed here: http://www.as-if-by-magic.com/initialconcepts.html

And this is the result of the final round of revisions: http://www.as-if-by-magic.com/revisions2.html

So I researched it and learned something. Another post coming soon. Meantime, enjoy the weekend.</p> I unexpectedly rustled feathers with the reference to design contests.
