OK, I found Logo Samurai on John Cow’s blog when I heard about a contest… I wanted to win REALLY badly, but just couldn’t wait when I seen their work. I knew I needed a new logo since mine was really ugly and boring… I’m not a great Photoshop artist when it comes down to it, although I can do enough to make a nice looking Web 2.0 landing page, website, etc.
So I decided to order. After all, their prices are TOO cheap, if you ask me.
I went through the order process and tried my best to describe what I wanted. The problem is – I didn’t have an up to date picture. The only picture I could find was me with a beanie on. But, since I have a bald head, I was a little worried that they couldn’t get it right…
Even after I placed my order – I was getting worried again… so, being the anxious person I am, I decided to write to them to give more information regarding what I wanted, including an image of my glasses that I always wear (Black Fly’s, by the way! Flys.com).
Then, I told Susan (the person who contacted me after I placed the order…which was a cool follow up!) that I would try to get her an up to date picture of myself… ughhhh my weekend had become too hectic… I couldn’t find the time to get a picture and I’m NOT a camera friendly guy… I HATE PICTURES!
So Susan contacts me today with my Logo after about 48 hours and attaches the Logo images to the email.
Wow…
I was blown away. Everybody who knows me laughs at the logo because it REALLY DOES look like me!
I love the logo. Now I need to get something else from them to freshen up my Blog some more!
I definitely recommend that you at least check out their site!

Thanks Susan!

Hi Clint,
I was pleased to find your positive review of Logo Samurai. Last Thursday I placed an order, which makes it now passed the 3-day turnaround. So when I hadn’t heard anything (including email and contact form), I was getting a little worried.
Perhaps they’re just swamped with their success.

Hey Mark,
Yeah, they’re a lot more busy than they used to be! They take a few days longer than they used to, but I think you’ll like their work!

Well, I’m a little worried now. If you try to access their site, you get a message from the host saying that the account has been suspended.
I hope this doesn’t mean they’re having trouble and won’t be able to complete my order. Yikes!

I will contact Susan to see what’s going on. I doubt they’re out of Business.

I really appreciate that, Clint! I even tried contacting the registered owner of the domain name and still nothing.
Geesh, of all the times I pick to place an order, I have to choose the week before the site goes down. LOL
Btw, have you considered adding the “subscribe to comments” plugin here?

Hey Mark,
Yeah it’s odd that she hasn’t contacted you back. I tried to email her, but haven’t gotten a reply back, yet. I’d be amazed if she didn’t reply back though!
Thanks for the tip about subscribe to comments plugin. I’ve added it right now!
Clint
