FAQs for Clients

Interested in hosting a contest(s) on ZillionDesigns.com? Please read the following guidelines carefully.

ZillionDesigns is a sister company of Logo Design Guru, Inc. We offer custom design solutions through a single crowdsourcing marketplace. The goal is to bring customers and designers together in one place, and for those designers to provide customers with "a zillion" custom design concepts to choose from.

Getting a design on ZillionDesigns is as easy as A-B-C. Here is how it works:

Step 1: Select a Service. Start your contest by choosing a design service that you need.

Step 2: Name a Price. There is a minimum price for every design service, but you can choose the amount you'd like to pay based on how many design concepts you'd like to receive (the more you spend, the more designs you will receive). You can also choose a package from our list and customize it as per your needs.

Step 3: Write a Creative Brief. There are a few questions that you will need to answer before designers can get started. The creative brief is essential to designers understanding your needs. This ensures that they have what they need to create unique designs for you.

Step 4: Give Feedback. As soon as you submit the creative brief, the contest begins for the designers. They compete by submitting design concepts for you to choose from. Your feedback on these concepts will help guide the designers in the right direction and get you exactly what you are looking for.

Step 5: Pick a Winning Design. Your design contest will run for 7 days (or longer at a small cost). Once the contest ends, you get to pick a winning design. We then approve the final files of the winning design to be sent to you. After they have been checked thoroughly for copyright, trademark, quality and compliance standards, you will receive the design.

Typically, a contest runs for 7 to 10 days depending on your needs. If you want to extend or shorten the duration of the contest, you may do so at a minimal cost. You can choose the duration at the beginning of the contest.

If you need your designs right away, you can speed up the process by expediting your contest. This will allow you to host your design contest for as little as 3 to 6 days. For more on Expedited Contests, please read below.

Of course, you can extend the duration of your contest. Normal contests run for 7 to 10 days. You can extend your contest for a small fee by contacting our team when placing the order. Extensions can run up to 14 days.

Each design contest can be started with a minimum prize. The more you invest, the greater the number of unique designs you will receive. For detailed pricing, Please click here

note an additional 20% listing and processing fee is charged for each contest. Upgrades are charged separately.

Yes, we do. We offer four different types of packages for bundle services. Click here for details

A package is more economical and convenient for you because it lets you strategically brand your products and services at a lower price. You only have to pay one time for processing fee and upgrades.

When you order a website design, your design contest includes a unique web page or template design. You will be given a PSD file without coding. If you require a customized website design with coding, you may choose our Complete Web Design service.

When launching a contest the following charges will incur:

EXAMPLE

Total prize money $300

Add 20% processing fee $60

Add upgrades (if any) $15

TOTAL DESIGN CHARGES $375

* From time to time we run promotions and offer discount coupons which you may claim at the time of payment.

If you change your mind and want to edit your creative brief, simply contact us within 24 to 48 hours of the contest launch via email support@zilliondesigns.com or call us at +1-877-525-5646.

Of course you can! You may do so by clicking on the "My Contests" tab in our panel. Click on "Increase Prize Money," and follow the prompts. This option will increase the number of designers, who submit design concepts for your contest, and improve the overall quality of drafts as well.

* A 20% transaction fee will be charged on the total increased amount.

It depends. The more frequently you interact and communicate with designers by providing feedback, the more improved drafts you will receive. On an average a contest receives at least 30 drafts and this can reach up to 80 designs.

No, there is no limit to the number of design drafts that designers will submit.

Designers can be contacted via our private messaging system by clicking on the designer's profile. Then, click on "Contact" on the left side. Write your message and click "Send". If you still have problem connecting with them, contact us at support@zilliondesigns.com or call us at +1-877-525-5646.

Although we encourage our designers to submit unlimited number of design concepts, using the following strategy may help you boost the number of drafts for your contest:

1. Make your contest guaranteed. This means that you are guaranteeing that you will choose a winning design at the end of the contest. This will assure the designers that they are not wasting their time with drafts. A guaranteed contest also attracts more designers, and boosts the number of design drafts.

2. Write a detailed creative brief. The purpose of your creative brief is to provide information for designers, so they will understand your ideas and what you are looking for in their drafts. By giving more details, designers will be able to envision your idea more clearly and be more aligned with your vision.

3. Give feedback and get involved. Being involved in your contest by providing constructive feedback helps give designers direction. They will provide better quality drafts that meet your specifications.

4. Increase the prize money. The greater the amount you invest, the more designers will be interested in competing in your contest. In the end, there will be more concepts submitted for you to choose from.

5. Invite designers to participate. To attract better skilled designers, you can browse through our designers and their past work. By checking out their profiles and portfolios, you may get an idea of their design style, which may better match what you are looking for. You may invite these designers to participate in your contest.

Yes, you can. At any point during the design contest, you can announce that you will be selecting more than one winning designer. This can also be done after the contest ends.

To select multiple designers, simply log in and go to "My Contests" in the panel. Then, click on "Add Winner(s)". You will also need to fill out the "Winner's Information".

After submitting, you will notice an increase in the number of "Winner(s)".

At the end of the contest, you will be prompted to choose your winner and "additional winner(s)".

1-to-1 Project is an exclusive and independent way to work with any existing winner of your previous contests.

Click on "1-to-1 Project" on the left panel and find the profile of the designer you want to work with. Here's how to create a successful 1-to-1 project:

1. Click on "Invite to a 1-to-1 project", fill out the invitation, and send it to one of the winning designers you have previously worked with. Please try to provide as much as possible details about your requirements, so that the designer is very clear before he confirms with you and sets a price for the project. You can also let him know your budget for the design work in the details.

2. The designer may contact you through a private message to gain further clarification.

3. The designer will accept the invitation and send you an invoice.

4. ZillionDesigns.com will create a workspace once the invoice has been paid.

Depending upon the scope of the work, the designer will decide on the cost. You can discuss this directly with the designer. The minimum price for 1-to-1 project is $100. ZillionDesigns.com will charge the standard 20% processing fee.

At ZillionDesigns, we appreciate our designers' hard work and enthusiasm when participating in design contests. A donation is a small monetary award that customers may award designers to show their appreciation for their time and effort.

To donate, go to "My Contest" and click on the design draft that you want to award. This will take you to a page, where you will be asked to donate amounts in denominations of $25, $50, or $100.

ClientShare is a FREE feature on our website for contest holders. With ClientShare, you can share your design contests privately with your clients or others by simply clicking on the ClientShare link under "My Contests" in your account. The link will prompt you to create unbranded ClientShare links with anyone you'd like to share with. For more information on ClientShare, read this

Once you have seen all of the designs and decided on a favorite, you can click on the finalize link on the bottom left of that design. When you click "Finalize," you'll be taken to another page where you will need to confirm your decision. Once this is done, the winner will be announced and you will receive your final design files in 3-5 business days.

On the day your contest ends, your 7-day decision period will begin. If you need more time, you can contact the support team to extend it. If your contest is Guaranteed and you do not contact us or select a winner within 7 days, we will contact you to remind you to choose a winner. In some instances, we will choose a winner for you, and we reserve the right to do so.

Although after your contest has ended and the design has been finalized, no revisions are allowed. You may contact the designer directly through private messaging for any revisions at his/her discretion.

You will receive your final design files within 3-5 days of finalizing the winning design

After they are checked, your design files will be uploaded into My Panel. You will be notified when your files have been uploaded. You can then log in into My Panel to download your files and view them.

You will receive the file types listed below. If you need other file types, please contact our support team immediately after selecting the winner. We cannot guarantee that the designer will provide you with additional design files once you have received the final files.

Files We Provide for a Logo Design Contest:

Raster Files:

2. The designer may contact you through a private message to gain further clarification.

3. The designer will accept the invitation and send you an invoice.

4. ZillionDesigns.com will create a workspace once the invoice has been paid.

You will receive two main types of files - vector and raster. Vector files are usually required for printing purposes. They can be resized without compromising the print quality. Raster files are required for websites and other print materials. Both will be provided according to your required needs.

Yes, you will have complete trademark rights of your design once you have chosen and finalized a winning design. In the Terms & Conditions, designers agree to relinquish the rights of any winning designs. Trademark registration, however, will be your responsibility.

You sure will! Once you have paid for the design in full, you will have the opportunity to trademark the design. It is your responsibility to pursue a trademark for your design, and we cannot guarantee you will receive one.

If you are not satisfied with the results of your design contest and it is not Guaranteed, you may cancel your contest. If you have received more than 30 designs, we will retain $50 from your prize amount, but if you receive less than 30, we will refund the full amount. Transaction and any upgrade charges are nonrefundable.

Please note: Guaranteed contests cannot be cancelled under any circumstances.

ZillionDesigns maintains that all projects will receive a minimum of 30 design entries for all projects. If you have not received 30 entries, you are entitled to claim a refund of your prize money.

If you want a refund for a project in which you did not add the "guaranteed" upgrade but you have received over 30 entries, we will retain $50 from the prize amount for the top designer. Please be aware that guaranteed projects are not entitled for a refund under any circumstances.

Lastly, please be advised that the listing, processing and upgrade fees will not be refunded.

You can opt for Wire Transfer, PayPal, Cash via Direct Bank Deposit, or E-check. We offer a money-back guarantee on all non-guaranteed contests. If your contest is not Guaranteed and you receive less than 30 design concepts and are not satisfied, you may request a refund of your prize money. If your non-guaranteed contest has more than 30 concepts, however, we will retain $50 of the prize amount and award it to the top designer.

NOTE: Processing fees, including upgrades, will not be refunded. All refunds must be requested within 90 days of the contests end date. Please see Terms & Conditions for more information.

Providing feedback to the designers is a great way to turn things around. The more they know about what you want, the better the results will be. You can also browse through designers and invite ones you like to submit a design.

The support team is available to assist you with any issues throughout your contest. Please call +1-877-525-5646 or email support@zilliondesigns.com

Another option is to extend your contest for 3 days for just $29. This will allow more time for revisions, feedback, and inviting of other designers.

You have 7 days to choose a winner. If you do not choose a winner within that time frame, we will contact you to do so. If you have a guaranteed contest and still have not chosen a winner within 15 days of your contest ending, we will keep sending you reminders until you finalize the contest yourself.

To report a design, click "Report" on the designer's page for the contest. If you're reporting a trademark issue, make sure you include (1) The URL of the copyrighted image in its original context and (2) The number of the design that is in violation of copyright. We take trademark and copyright issues very seriously. Please email report@zilliondesigns.com for immediate action.

Upgrade

Upgrades are add-ons that you can purchase to help your contest's success. Some are aimed at enticing designers so more will participate, while others are here to help protect your contest's privacy. Here is the full list of upgrades that you can add to your contest

A Private Contest is a design contest in which only users logged into our site will be able to view. Designers will not be able to add winning designs from private contests to their portfolios. Also, they will not be indexed by search engines.

A Guaranteed Contest is a contest in which it is guaranteed that a winning design and designer will be chosen. This increases the amount of designers willing to participate, since it is guaranteed that they could win.

If you choose not to "guarantee" your contest, then you will not have to choose a winner at the end of the contest if you are not satisfied with the designs. Also, if you are not satisfied, you are eligible to receive our money-back guarantee if you receive less than 30 designs. If you receive more than 30, you can still obtain a refund, but we will retain $50 of the prize amount. Listing and processing fees will not be refunded.

The Featured upgrade allows your contest to stay within the first few pages (ahead of non-featured contests) of listings in the "Browse Contests" tab. With this feature, you gain maximum visibility among designers.

As a contest holder you have the option of veiling your contest. A veiled contest is one in which the contest holder is the only one who can see the design entries. Designers can only view their own entries, and not others.

Having a Veiled contest helps promote creativity, helps in maintaining privacy, and encourages fair competition during the contest.

For all veiled contests, you may leave public comments for all to see or use the private messaging tool to communicate with the specific designers.

By default, all contests are veiled on our site. This means that designers cannot see each other's designs, and cannot copy one another. In some cases, clients like the designers to be able to see all of the designs and upgrade the contest to be unveiled.

An Expedited Contest is a contest that will be completed in less time than the standard 7 days. For $29, you can choose to have your contests length be between 3 and 6 days.

To upgrade a contest after it has already started, simply log into your account and click on the "My Contests" tab. Then, select "Upgrades" and choose which one(s) you'd like and follow the prompts.

To unveil your design contest you need to do the following:

1. Go to "My Contests"
2. Click on "Upgrade"
3. Choose "Unveiled Contest"
4. Click on "Proceed"
5. Pay by credit card

New Designers


We want to make sure that we avoid any legal, fraudulent, or payment issues, so as a designer, you will be required to provide us with a few things to verify your identity.

NOTE: This information is for our validation purposes only and will never be shared.

Please follow these steps to verify your identity:

  1. Log into your account.
  2. In the designer panel, click "Account Details" on the left-hand side.
  3. Fill in the information.
  4. Send a copy of your ID (this could be a national identity card, a passport, or a valid driver's license) to verification@zilliondesigns.com

If you are under 18 years of age, please send us a copy of your parent or legal guardian's ID.

Click here for details.

Designers are required to fill in their "Account Details" under the "My Account" tab. Please make sure that all information is accurate and completely filled out before participating in any design contests.

A copy of your ID (this could be a license, passport, or national identity card – please choose one only) must then be emailed to verification@zilliondesigns.com. The information from your Account Details and ID must match. If a designer is under 18 years of age, they must send a scanned copy of a parent or legal guardian's ID.

Participating in contests is free! If your design is chosen as the winning design, however, a 10% processing fee will be deducted from the total prize amount. In addition to this 10% deduction, you will also be responsible for paying any other transaction costs (PayPal, etc.).

Here's an example: A designer wins a $399 contest. The processing fee is 10% of that, which is $39.9. The amount the designer will receive after subtracting the processing fee looks like this: $399 - $39.9 (10%) = $359.1.



Design Contests


The creative brief is your ticket to understanding what the client wants. When you read and thoroughly understand the creative brief, you better your chances of winning the contest. You should also be sure to read any comments that the client posts in the contest page – they will help guide your designs and keep you tuned into what the client is looking for.

As soon as you have a design that you are satisfied with, you should submit it. If you wait, and the client decides to expedite the contest, you could miss your opportunity to win. Don’t worry if you think of changes you’d like to make after you have submitted your design. You can submit as many drafts as you like!

It's possible that you’ll have questions for clients and other designers. When you need to communicate privately, you can send private messages, and if you’d like to ask a question about a contest, you can post it on the contest’s page so the client and designers can see it.

Submitting designs is easy! Just follow these steps:

  1. Sign up and create a free account.
  2. Visit a contest page and click "Submit a Design."
  3. Enter a description for your design.
  4. Choose and upload a design.
  5. Include information about licensed images (if you’re using any).
  6. Agree to the Designer Guidelines.
  7. Click "Submit My Entry!"

It's mandatory that your web design meets these requirements, so please review this list before and after your design process:

  1. Maximum width of the content area should not exceed 1000px.
  2. Fonts should be web-friendly. Please avoid using more than 2-3 different fonts.
  3. Web safe fonts for both Mac & Windows:
    • Arial
    • Comic Sans
    • Courier New
    • Georgia
    • Impact
    • Palatino
    • Tahoma
    • Times New Roman
    • Trebuchet MS
    • Verdana
  4. Template resolution should be 72 DPI.
  5. Layers of each section of the template should be kept in separate folders.
  6. Layers & folders should have their own unique names.
  7. Avoid adding effects on text.
  8. Ideal width of the background is 1500px.
  9. Do not add filters on images with watermarks.
  10. For images, use "adjustment layers" option for brightness/contrast etc.
  11. Only use images from www.istockphotos.com unless the client requests something different.
No, no, no! We strongly discourage the use of clipart. ZillionDesigns customers are looking for creative and unique designs. Using clipart repeatedly will result in a negative rating for you as a designer. Also, keep in mind that you will be held responsible for any costs that may arise from copyright issues regarding your design.
Again, no! Please familiarize yourself with all rules regarding stock images. Failure to follow these rules may result in suspension or banning of your design account. In addition to the lack of unique artwork, clients will also disapprove of your design because they cannot trademark designs in which they do not own all of the art. If you use clipart or stock images and your design is chosen, you must inform the client of images and artwork that are not your own.
In some cases, a client may specify whether or not they will be needing bleeds in the design. If it is not specified, however, please do not include bleeds. Printing will be more costly with bleeds and the client may not require them, so do not include unless advised to do so. Be sure to submit complete stationery set including letterhead and envelope design along with the business card.
You are not obligated to make revisions to completed contests. Many designers will provide minimal revisions at no charge. For more involved changes, you may want to charge a reasonable amount for the work. It is completely up to you.
Do not send any designs to the client until the contest has ended and your design has been finalized. This will ensure that everything runs smoothly in the transaction between you and the client.
In the event that a contest is refunded, all designs and comments in the contest will be hidden to prevent any plagiarism among designers.
A "guaranteed" contest is one in which the client guarantees that they will choose a winning design. This is good news for you because it betters your chances of winning! If the client does not choose a design by the end of the deciding period, our support team will continually contact them until they do so.
Projects finalized between the 1st and 10th of the month Payment sent on the 14th of the month
Project finalized between the 11th and the 20th of the month Payment sent on the 24th of the month
Project finalized between the 21st and the 30th/31st of the month Payment sent on the 4th of the next month

"PLEASE NOTE AS PER OUR STANDARD PROCESS, AFTER RECEIVING FINAL FILES FROM THE DESIGNER IT TAKES ATLEAST 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS FOR OUR QUALITY CHECK/SOURCE FILES DEPARTMENT TO SEND THE FILES TO THE CONTEST HOLDER.

MOREOVER, AFTER RECEIVING THE FINAL FILES THE CONTEST HOLDER CAN INVOKE ANY DESIGN ISSUES/TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT/OR ANY APPLICABLE DISAGREEMENT WITHIN 48 HOURS.

THE ABOVE PAYMENT SCHEDULE WILL ONLY BE APPLICABLE ONCE THE FINAL FILES ARE SENT TO THE CONTEST HOLDER."

* The above schedule dates are only applicable to business days.
** If payment date falls on a bank holiday, then it will be disbursed on the next working day.

Once a contest is launched, the contest’s prize money is paid to ZillionDesigns. ZillionDesigns will only refund non-guaranteed contests upon the client’s request, and only if the contest has received less than 30 drafts. If a contest receives more than 30 drafts, and the client withdraws the contest, the designer will still be paid a token amount at ZillionDesigns’ discretion.
Yes, you are! Please be sure to keep it relevant, and do not bombard them with messages. Also, keep in mind that any rude comments and misconduct may result in your expulsion from the site.
If the client requires revisions after the contest has been locked, you may email your designs to support@zilliondesigns.com and include the contest and client name in the subject line. Support will forward the designs to the client, and once they are satisfied and finalize the design, you will send final files to sourcefiles@zilliondesigns.com. You are not obligated to provide revisions, but it is favorable.
Work quickly! An expedited contest usually finalizes a winning design between 1 and 3 days. We recommend that you submit your design within 24 hours.
Sometimes, clients will show their appreciation by awarding additional prizes in the form of donations to designers who worked hard on their contest and did not win. Donations can be in increments of $25, $50, and $100. They will be subject to a 10% charge of the payment fee if the increment is higher than $100. The management reserves the right to charge 10% fee if donations have been given in exchange for additional design files.
Sometimes, a client will want or need more than one design. If you are chosen as an Additional Winner, you will not receive the primary prize amount, but the client will offer you a separate amount for your design. You can choose to accept or decline the offer. To decline, you’ll need to send an email to support@zilliondesigns.com (include contest name in the subject line) with an explanation of why you will not be accepting the offer.
Nope! This is simply the client’s way of saying, "thanks for your hard work!" You will not be required to send any design files unless you are chosen as an additional winner.
Sometimes, design files will be too large to email. If this is the case, you can try to compress (zip) the file and email it, or you can use a free online transferring service, like https://www.yousendit.com/. Please send the files to sourcefiles@zilliondesigns.com and include your designer name, email address, and contest name in the comments section.
1-to-1 projects are only available for the projects that you have won. The Project Holders for your winning projects can contact and work with you directly on new or additional projects.
Any Project Holder from a project that you have won can initiate a 1-to-1 project with you. Here are the steps to start working on 1-to1 project:

1. If you have any questions, please send a private message before accepting the invoice.
2. Once you are clear on the project, you can accept the invitation.
3. After you have accepted the invitation, send an invoice for the work. Please make sure that your rates are competitive.
4. The Project Holder will accept the invoice and pay.
5. Once the invoice has been paid, a workspace will be created for you and the Project Holder.
Once a project is locked under a deciding phase your design drafts are also locked for the project holder to review them and finalize a winner. To ensure you have equal opportunity to win, at this stage you can’t withdraw your draft.


Design Violations


If you believe that your design has been copied by another designer, please report it to us at report@zilliondesigns.com. Be sure to include links and an explanation of why you believe it has been copied.
A copyright violation is when a designer bases his/her design off of a pre-existing design. Designers will receive a warning if they are found copying another designer's artwork. A trademark violation is a very serious federal offense. A trademark protects a brand and is registered legally to represent a company. In the event that a designer copies a trademarked design, they will receive a trademark violation point, or worse, depending on the severity of the violation.

For complete information on what constitutes trademark and copyright infringement and how we handle these issues, please click here.

If you see a stolen design, please report it to report@zilliondesigns.com immediately. It is very important to keep our system "clean" for both designers and clients. We appreciate our designers assisting us in reporting these issues, so we can act swiftly.

No! Once a designer is banned, they are banned for good from our platform. Work carefully and pay attention to rules and guidelines in order to avoid this situation
