The company that designed my logo is still waiting for crowdspring to release my payment to them. It's been 4 months and crowdspring keeps giving him the run around. This is NOT a payment issue on my end. They happily took my $1250. My attempts to contact them about this have not been successful.

When crowdspring started off in 2008 the owner and staff treat the designers really well. This resulted in high paying clients and pages and pages of projects. Fast forward to 2023 and the owner and staff is threatening designers, delaying payments by at least 7 months, IF they pay the designer at all. All of the best designers left long ago, there is generally one page of projects. No high paying projects. And the owner is stealing money from honest designers who clearly need the money. Lets face it, people do not work for a "chance" at winning a project unless they need the money desperately. These are the people the owner is stealing from, those who need it most. Both the owner and the staff are highly unethical, possibly even criminal. Any complaints from designers results in their money being withheld and their accounts being banned. The business is clearly in the process of failing, less designers, less projects, dwindling income, with more designers leaving every day. There are NOT ******* active designers, there isnt even 50 active designers. The promise that designers will be paid within 10 business days is also a complete fabrication. The website is filled with false statements and promises. Many clients do not get refunds when they realize theyre not getting "thousands" of designers competing for their design and are stuck with only the most desperate who still have faith they will be paid if they win. It is a sad and pathetic end to a business that tarted out so promising. Let this be a ******* as soon as crowdspring started treating the designers badly and they started walking away, the business started failing, and now it is a pathetic shell of its former self that has to resort to thievery just to keep running. Its an embarrassment.

They just don't pay the designers. I have been without payment for over 2 months. Customers are already using the logos I designed. If you're a designer, don't use CrowdSpring. You will just PRACTICE design as you will not be paid. There are designers complaining about more than 6 months of late payments. 99designs is much better, they will respect you and you will get paid like any professional company should.I WISH I HAD THE OPTION TO GIVE NO STARS!
