As I wrote, I created it on my own. I'm the one that conceptualized the logo in great detail, but he did the actual design work according to my specifications. I would never be able to do the actual design, it's not in my wheelhouse. But the concept was mine.

If you have a crisp solid idea that you can explain in great detail, just about any graphic artist will do.

That's really the key to outsourcing anything. You have to have a crystal clear idea and the ability to communicate it.

It doesn't only pertain to logos. It's everything. You can't really ask for ideas that they have - it'll never be yours, never have your own originality.

I thought a lot about my logo - I didn't do it in 15 minutes. I kept rolling it around in my mind until it came to full fruition. It took about a month for the concept to really work itself out. I google searched on terms for graphic images that were similar to my ideas and saw other graphics that gave me ideas. I put my own twist on it. But I was able to send the guy about 8 different examples from other graphics but told him how it would be different. Mine was completely different from the ones that I searched for the terms on Google, but they gave the "flavor" of what I wanted, plus I added words as to what I wanted and what would be different. I love my logo.
