48hourslogo is an online crowdsourced logo design contest platform that has been operating since 2009. With over 64,355 logos designed to date, the platform connects business owners with a global pool of freelance designers who compete to create the best logo for each project. Clients post a design brief, receive multiple submissions within a short timeframe, and select their preferred winner.
The platform's contest-based model sets it apart from traditional one-on-one freelance hiring. After posting a project, clients can expect dozens of custom logo concepts from designers around the world. This approach provides a breadth of creative options that a single designer engagement cannot match. The process involves three simple steps: filling out a design brief, receiving multiple logo options, and picking a winner — with ongoing revisions until the design matches the client's vision.
Beyond logo design, 48hourslogo positions itself as a complete design platform offering Logo & Identity packages, Poster/Flyer design, Label/Packaging design, and Digital/Website design. This makes it a one-stop shop for small businesses and startups building out their brand from scratch. The site also features an ANYLOGO tool for additional AI-assisted or automated design options.
