: What is the right way to ensure design you really want? When working with logo designer, what is the correct model of communication in helping designer to envision what you want and improving

@Marchetta832

First I would not necessarily impose a design to a designer unless you can back it up with sound marketing and communication strategy. The designer may surprise you with a fresh look on your business that you had not imagined. I would also make sure to get a few options to compare what might be a better fit (3 is usually a good number).

If you do need to have a specific example, don't be afraid to provide images of things that look like what you want or have parts that correspond to what you want. Be specific about what parts and why. Too often, clients will have something in their mind but how they communicate their needs is abstract to the designer. Things like: "Can you jazz this up?" and such.

Obviously, like Vincent said, hire a professional designer and expect to build a long-term professional relationship with them. They will help you flesh out your vision and build a strong corporate image for your business.

First and foremost: hire a real designer, and don't succumb to the lure of all the design contest spec work sites or competitions. A good, professional designer will guide you in this process, instead of you having to guide them. Yes, be prepared to pay more. You get what you pay for.
