Design the Unintentional Entrepreneur Logo

June 29th, 2009 ::

Realize your inner Entrepreneur and design the logo that will unite us!

Every strong community needs a symbol, a torch to follow in a shared challenge or goal. We’re a proud group, striking out on new ventures, working for ourselves, scrapping together resources and opportunities to build a business. How do you define an Unintentional Entrepreneur? What symbol can we share to rally small business owners and self employed professionals?

Redesign the logo featured here and on our community and proudly affirm, “I too am an Unintentional Entrepreneur!”

cs_default_avatarThe contest, which ends mid day on July 13th, will award $400 to the best design, with the award winner having their logo featured above. We’ve joined the fantastic designers and artists at CrowdSPRING to host the contest; they’ll be bringing their best designers to bear so put your best foot forward.  Throughout the next two weeks, stay tuned as we present our favorites for review and comment.  Let us know what you think and we’ll give the designers a chance to tweak their submissions.

Ready to get started?  Let your creativity free and upload your submission here

    $400 ‘award’ is NOT enough compensation! Weak Netsol!
    You are using crowd-sourcing as total theft!
    Don’t take advantage :-(
    Boo on this one.

    Our community of 31,000 designers (from over 150 countries around the world) is thrilled with the opportunity to create a logo that will help define the Unintentional Entrepreneur community.

    So, you get a cheap logo design from a designer who for some reason isn’t in high demand (or they’d be doing paid work), and countless other designers without much work on offer you their services for no financial or portfolio-based gain whatsoever. Everyone loses! Nice work.

    Guess being an Entrepreneur doesn’t apply to designers but only companies that wish to exploit unemployed, offshore and students to develop the “look” of their latest “thing”.

    Working on Crowdspring is more likely to turn designers into the Unintentionally Homeless.

    I recommend read the following article, rules changes, buddy.
    Two decades ago students working in university computers change the way high tech companies are done. Now we are looking a similar situation?

    Ah, I forgot, unintentional entrepeneurs surely have enough budget to hire Landor or Interbrand to design his identyties, and if the case, they will get crap also, just look the “bing” identity and get a hint.

    Cheers
