Design Outpost Rocks!

by Jared Spool

Here at UIE, none of us have any artistic skills whatsoever. In fact, the only thing I can draw is blood.

So, when we need something graphical, we’ve been turning to our friends at Design Outpost.

Most recently, they designed the logo for our new roadshow tour:

The UIE 2006 Roadshow Logo

They’ve also designed the UIE Brain Sparks logo:

The way Design Outpost works is quite clever. You create a contest with a cash prize. Designers, who have all auditioned to participate in the site, submit entries. As they submit them, you critique them, saying what you like and don’t like, allowing the designers to make changes with new entries. Finally, you pick one you like (which, because so many are good, can be difficult). The winner gets the prize.

I highly recommend Design Outpost if you need high quality graphics done on a shoestring budget.
