The right designer can be integral to perfecting your corporate image. 99designs takes the risk out of this process by using your business brief to set up a design contest, whereby designers compete to make the best design for your needs. Just know what you want designed and how much you’re prepared to pay for it. You choose your favorite design and pay the agreed fee, and then the designer sends you his completed design and copyright to the original artwork.
