Logo Marketplace BrandCrowd Offers Designers $5,000 in Prizes
Brand and logo marketplace BrandCrowd, formerly known as BrandStack, is offering $5,000 worth of prizes to designers who upload stock logos before the 1st of March, 2012.
Designers are tasked with creating and uploading logos to the site, where logos can be sold for a fixed fee, and promoting their work amongst their friends, families and other designers.
There are several prize categories. The biggest prize is $2,000 and goes to the winner of Best Logo, as voted by BrandCrowd’s staff. The logos with the most Likes on the BrandCrowd Facebook page and “springs” — BrandCrowd’s own version of a Facebook like — will win $1,000 in the “Most sprung/likes” category. Another $1,000 will go to the designer who uploads the most logos before the competition ends.
Finally, there are four $250 rewards in the Speciality Prizes category: best use of negative space, best typographic logo, best illustrative logo and best Web 2.0 logo.
If you’re a designer who loves creating logos just for fun, then head on over and get your entries in by the end of the month.

I see BrandStack is back from the dead; like some sort of I’ll designed, money stealing, design pirating, designer out of pocket leaving zombie.
Robert, your concern is valid; unfortunately when BrandStack was shuttered there were many designers who had not been paid. As soon as the site was acquired, the new owner paid all outstanding payments to designers immediately and has brought a new level of investment to the site to make it the best place for designers to sell their leftover logo and brand designs.
Actually we were always paid promptly with BrandStack, but a sale just after the acquisition still hasn’t been paid by BrandCrowd and they repeatedly dodge our calls and emails.
We’ve since had to pull all our designs from BrandCrowd because we’re afraid we’ll never see payment.
Hi Steve! I did some investigation with BrandCrowd customer support as soon as I saw your comment and you should now have been paid.
