The Logo Awards Competition with Game Changing Value-Add for Designers

The Logo Awards Competition with Game Changing Value-Add for Designers

  • 02/04/201801/04/2018
  • by The Logo Creative
  • Ever wish you could nab more of those big logo and branding gigs?

    I’m talking about $5000, $10000, $25000+ logo, identity, and branding projects.

    As designers, we have to keep upping our game when it comes to adding value to our design services.

    Potential clients are looking for that stand out—the designer or design studio who rises above the rest.

    But here’s the thing. To add value, you have to establish credibility and trust.

    How do you add that kind of value?

    Through recognition and design awards competitions.

    So, if you want to gain recognition, add “Award-Winning” to your design title and win more qualified design projects, I’ve got the answer…

    Logo Wave Awards International

    Logo Wave is a fast-growing logo award competition and platform giving designers a way to add incredible value to their design services to bring positive career impact.

    And the reviews speak for themselves:

    “Logo Wave has been THE catalyst in helping me win more of those large, qualified branding and identity gigs. With their top-tier jury, $1,000/crystal trophy prize, and more than reasonable entry fee, this one is a no-brainer for designers and design agencies who want to add significant value to their creative services.” – Konstantinos Mamangakis | Founder, Orfik Design

    “If you enter just one logo awards competition this year, make sure it’s Logo Wave! With its internationally acclaimed jury, crystal trophy and enticing cash prize bounty, it’s the best logo awards program out there!” – Jacob Cass | Founder, JUST Creative

    Here’s how it works…

    Designers upload their best logos into “waves” consisting of 25-50 designers. Then, the judge’s panel picks the winners.

    Their internationally acclaimed jury includes David Airey, Debbie Millman, Bill Gardner, Alina Wheeler, Kyle Courtright, Nadir Balcikli and Ian Paget.

    What about the prizes?

    The 1st place winning designer from every single wave receives $1,000.00 cash, crystal engraved trophy, official Logo Wave certificate, digital badge set, recognition on the website and various social networks. The top 5 from each wave receive the certificate, digital badge set, recognition on the website and socials.

    Logo-Wave-Awards

    Entries start at a very fair $32 — well worth the investment considering the $1,000.00, trophy and credible jury.

    Unlike traditional design awards competitions, there aren’t specific entry dates.

    Once the 50 designer (max) threshold is hit, the wave closes and a new wave begins–just like waves in the ocean, it’s continuous.

    So, if you want to add real value to your design services, enter your logos into the competition today.


    Our friend and founder of  Logo Wave Awards International Kyle Courtright has also written a great ebook that’s worth checking out and highly recommend The Ultimate Guide to Logo Design Ebook.

    In his New York Times best seller Steal Like an Ar In his New York Times best seller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon gave readers the key to unlock creativity. Now comes the next step in the journey: how to get known.

SHOW YOUR WORK! puts an end to the destructive myth of the long genius by showing artists and writers, makers and creative entrepreneurs how to join the new ecology of talent. It is about found by being findable, about using the network instead of wasting time networking.

The key is process, not product. Share something new every day but don’t turn into human spam.) Keep and amateurs mind where the possibilities are limitless. Be a connector, a teacher, an open node. Don’t horde.

In ten vital new priciples, SHOW YOUR WORK! shows that you have to be open, generous, brave - an artist that other artists will steal from.

Full review can be found on our website link in bio under the book review section.

    Stealing is bad, taking things that don’t belong Stealing is bad, taking things that don’t belong to you is wrong unless you learn to steal like an artist. This book includes 10 things nobody told you about being creative. 

Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon does not support plagiarism, let’s get that straight from the start. 

It’s more about unlocking your creativity, and getting into the minds of the artists you admire by understanding why and how they did what they did.

This small square 140 page book was published in 2012 and is a New York Times best seller, and for good reason it’s a fantastic book! - Well Done @austinkleon and @workmanpub
