I was surprised to learn that Deluxe has been in business since 1915 — 100 years! They started back in the day making checkbook holders and are still one of the leaders in check production today.
Naturally, the business evolved to include small business support services, including graphic design. The logo design arm (formerly known as LogoMojo) got its start in 1992 and the company has served more than 50,000 logo design clients since then.

About Deluxe
While the specific deliverable many small businesses are after is an attractive logo, Deluxe can also help with developing your organization’s brand identity through marketing, search engine optimization, social media development and website design.
They target small businesses that want an affordable logo with more options and attention to your overall brand than a cheaper service (like Fiverr). Check some of the portfolio samples in the video below to get an idea of what they can create.
How it Works
To get started, you’ll complete a short design brief. If you’ve never done one of these before, it’s a pretty fun exercise. You go through a series of questions about your personal style and your business’ “personality.”
In the case of Deluxe, they’ll ask you what other types of logos you like, what colors you like or are thinking of using in your business, any images you want included (or excluded), where you might use the logo, and some information about your company like who you serve and what sets you apart in the market.
After that, Deluxe will assign a handful of designers (number based on what package you select) from their Charlotte, North Carolina-based team who are the best fit for your project, and they’ll get to work in producing design concepts for you to review.

Plans and Pricing
Deluxe offers 5-tiers of logo design pricing, starting at just $99. At that price point, you’ll get a couple different design concepts from a single designer.
Higher tiers add more logo concepts and input from more designers.
From there, you can ask for a revision or two if the design concept is close but not quite where you want it.

The mid-tier Silver package is $395 and bumps you up to 4 designers and 6 logo design concepts. Plus they’ll throw in a black and white version of your vector file.
And at the top-end, Deluxe has their gold package with 8 designers and 10 design concepts. The big value add-ons here are the fonts and color codes, which are really helpful in making your website look like a coherent extension of your brand.

Each package comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, in which you can request a redesign from new designers or a full refund if none of the concepts are acceptable.
Logo Design Alternatives
Deluxe operates in this unique middle ground between the fully crowdsourced logo services like 99designs and CrowdSPRING, and the straight 1-person freelance shops you’ll find on Fiverr or Upwork.
I definitely like the idea of having multiple people contributing multiple concepts, and the Bronze package is less expensive than the lowest option at 99designs.
Have you ever had a logo designed by Deluxe? What did you think? Please feel free to leave a review of your experience below to help others with their decision.
I contacted Deluxe Logo to create a design for my new retail store. Nothing came as promised and took close to a month to deliver. Artwork is not done in the USA has told by salesman. Artwork done in Canada and NO customer service skills whatsoever. Calls and emails are returned days later if at all. I would say to anyone who is thinking about using their services to Run far away from this company. In posting this I stand true to my words and if Deluxe would like to dispute it they are more than welcome to contact me. Maybe then I can get my questions answered.
Hi Steve,
I in the middle of a decision with choosing this company and was concerned after reading your comments. What happened?
