Who is The best :

Logo designer?

Icon Designer

Banner Designer?


Looking forward hearing from you.

you might wanna check at a place like elance.com for those things. there is no BEST for everything. you gotta look around and see what appeals to you.

We have been very happy with 20dollarbaners (http://www.20dollarbanners.com). MIght want to give them a look for banners.

Although I understand your question... You will only get replies from people that used a particular service, or they THINK a company is good, without ever using them. So "The best" will cover people's personal experiences, or their opinions of companies they never used.

In short "the best" is all a matter of opinion, because what may be "the best" for one person, may not be "the best" for another.

Just list who you think is best can't ask for more. ok?

I guess we could argue that the best or one of the best icon designers is Susan Kare:

Mark, from Avidnewmedia.com is a great logo designer. He has designed the logo for turnkeychoice.com and gameplug.net, which are not only attractive, but exactly what we needed and made for print.

For web site design I have worked with the following companies;
Skize Media (skize.com), designed turnkeychoice.com
1on1design (1on1design.co.uk), designed centae.com
Phision (phision.com), designed gameplug.net
Intervolt (intervolt.net), designed serverenterprise.net

Very great companies and people to work with; I highly recommend them all.

Senthu from BannersMall is the only one i have used, but sometimes you dont have to test all the flavors before you realize the best taste...

BM is the best...

Lonny,

As far as banners we've used Senthu from bannersmall.com (http://www.bannersmall.com) for a variety of banners and he has been more than helpful with changes, additions and updates.

I've purchased about 7 banners from them, and they do a wonderful job. I'll be going back.

They've also moved into adult banners as well. I'm don't need any of those, you might, but I see (cough) hear they are pretty good :) adult.bannersmall.com (http://adult.bannersmall.com)

Once again, my vote is for Senthu from bannersmall.com

This guy has done about 20+ banners for myself and clients and they've all been delivered within the time period and at amazing quality!

I'd reccomend http://www.bannersmall.com as well, they have done a great job with 5 banners they have made for myself and another hosting company I am affilliated with.

For Logo's, I used Sweet Logo's. www.sweetlogos.com Their prices are excellent and they were very easy to work with. Our logo is even in their portfolio.

1on1design.co.uk

defiantpc.com

I used a logo design from an elance-type service. The graphic quality is good, but I never use the logo because that logo is impossible to print, not to mension fax... it didn't add anything to my business. I ended up using Word to creat my own simple logo, and I am much more happy with it then the one designed by graphic designers.

My $0.02 is:

1) Use simple color. One color is the best. Why? because you will need your logo to show in a lot of Black & White cases, for example, fax, invoice, direct mail, etc.

2) Use simple font. For example, the Microsoft logo is so simple that I believe everybody in MS can create their logo in 2 seconds as long as they have a Word processor.

A couple of examples, IBM, ATT, Microsoft logos are all one color, simple fonts.

3) A logo design must fit into the theme of webpage. So you might get tied up to a webpage design company... Remember that webdesign should be updated every couple of years...
