This was a great experience. I've told several people about your platform all have used it to create their business logos. You came up with a brilliant idea. Thank You!
I do not recommend Hatchwise or any similar site for designers. Not only will the losers of the contests have worked for nothing, but also the winners will have created designs for less money than what they really deserve; even a simple design with several variations takes many hours that can span at least 2 days. For a contest that rewards $350, if you're the lucky winner, that's less than $22/hr if you only spend 16 hours. It's even less money for the cheaper contests. Also, I don't know how frequently this happens, but there was one contest I entered and 6-7 months later, the contest holder still hasn't decided whose design(s) to choose. Another nuisance, you need to contact Hatchwise to cancel subscription and terminate account (with termination, all they did was deactivate my account, logging back in will reactivate it.) I'll be keeping an eye on my CC to make sure no strange charges are being made should Hatchwise get hacked by an unscrupulous hacker/employee. But good luck to those of you who can make it work or enjoy wasting your precious time working for free.

Logo Design Contest
My experience was excellent. I wasn't able to find a winner with my first contest and your agent offered to upgrade me for free and I also decided to increase my prize amount. Anytime I sent an email I got a prompt response. In addition, my designer did a great job of getting back with me in a timely matter and would do several different revisions even when I just requested one.
Updated score from 1 to 3 due to clear improvements with the site and less plagiarism of work.
I originally posted a review due to another designer blatantly copying my work, not just a little bit, but took the whole concept, and won the contest.
I was fuming to say the least and not much was done about it even though I challenged it relentlessly.
I left the site for around a year but have since returned and things seem to have improved which is good to see.
I have removed my initial comment for now.
I loved the whole experience. I really appreciated that your artists took it seriously and came up with some GREAT ideas! I will recommend this to everyone!
We were overwhelmed with the amazing talent. I have been telling everyone about our experience. Thank you!
I actually loved everything about Hatchwise I believe your site is well developed. Whoever came up with this idea. It was a fabulous one. There are so many amazing designs it was very hard decision.

I could not have been more surprised by all the wonderful, creative entries I received! This was an amazing experience, and well worth the money. Thank you!

Logo Design Contest
It was really enjoyed by Super fast and incredible responsive Highly recommended your facilities are superb.
It was a very positive surprise and way beyond my expectation, great price and great designs. It was so difficult to choose between so many great logos. Thank you so much and would recommend Hatchwise to everyone.
From the onset I have had trouble with the platform and customer service could or would not help resolve the issues:
- My prize amount was reset: I was informed this didn't happen even though I emailed screen shot
- I could not post comments on my own contest page: never resolved
- The design brief section with toggles between antonyms reset at least a dozen times: I was told this is my own fault
- I extended my contest for two days but only received about 30 hours: this was the one issue resolved
- each time I made a payment the site said my payment had not gone through even though I could see it had processed, this is definitely a bug in their system
- The winning design was not delivered in the vector format promised.
As I informed their customer service I will not use this platform again.
We were referred to Hatchwise by a friend who had also used it to create a logo. The process was so easy and it was exciting to explore all of the options we were given. This is an amazing resource.
I stumbled upon Hatchwise in late 2020 and submitted a lot of entries on that site just to test the waters. It's January 2021 as of this writing, and I have just discovered that my entry NovelFunds.com was stolen in Dec 2020, which means a scumbag (either the bogus contest holder or a member of Hatchwise team) registered the domain without me knowing and getting rewarded for it. What makes Hatchwise even more scammy is all of a sudden I couldn't submit any entry (no matter how many times I press enter) to the first and last biggest reward contest I was partaking in. Very strange and fishy! Anyhow, I'm going to update this review once I discover more stolen domain name ideas.
I am really happy with my experience on Hatchwise. I received so many submissions that were great. All the designers that I interacted with were friendly and talented. Overall, a great experience.
This is my first time. Really impressed with the website and the designers. Received a lot of submissions and designers were open to feedback. Highly recommend and will use again if I need it.
This was a great experience with some creative entries. Because of that experience I have suggested this site to others, especially on a budget to just want a variety of ideas.
While I have a creative side, and vision for what I like, I don't have the aptitude to execute with technology or even free hand. My project was for a logo for a baseball team, and the response and creativity that I received from my hatchwise contest was fantastic and it helped me exceed my goals. Our team will look and feel good wearing our new logo!
I had a great experience with Hatchwise. After the 10 day competition, we were able to extend the competition with the number of days we thought we needed. I think it was helpful to interact with the designers through feedback, as this inspired other designers to change their logos accordingly. When I had questions to Hatchwise, they were supporting and professional. Thank you

Hi Praveen,
I see you have left several reviews here under different names. As was explained to you by our support team your multiple accounts were banned because you repeatedly submitted clipart as original artwork. The contest holders that use Hatchwise expect that every option presented to them is 100% original, and we have a zero tolerance policy for anyone submitting un-original work. Your original account was banned as a result of your fraudulent entries, as were the 3 other accounts you then opened to get around the ban.
I encourage anyone reading this review to take a moment to look over some of the thousands of successful design contests that have been run on Hatchwise and the millions of (custom) logo entries created by our community of 30k+ incredibly talented designers, you can do that here: https://www.hatchwise.com/contests
We also have thousands of reviews that have been left by actual customers that can be seen (as well as all the work that was done for them) here: https://www.hatchwise.com/reviews

Hello everyone I'm again back and information given all deginer my account is banded form admin because I'm complaint agnist this site...
Thank you plz see my attached images...
Great. I held a 48 hr competition and had 61 designs to choose from. I am very happy with the winner and would recommend Hatchwise.
My first go with this contest was unsuccessful and disappointing, mainly because I was new to Hatchwise and didn't realize that I could comment on entries and instruct designers on how to proceed after the contest had begun. When I contacted customer service about this, they were exceptionally helpful with not only explaining how to encourage more successful entries, but also extended and upgraded my contest for me. I would absolutely recommend Hatchwise to anyone after this great experience. Very appreciative of the service!
I have never used Hatchwise (or anything like it) before. Wow! I have already recommended you to others. What a brilliant concept. When I read that I could expect 80 options on average, I thought it was an exaggerated number but I received more that 380 options! Some were not great but there were also a lot of really, really good ones. I would use this website again in a heartbeat. Nice work!:-)

Few months ago, I created a logo design which won a contest on hatch wise, the site told me to send the finished project file to them(which I did)... after that I waited eagerly for the payout day to arrive. This was my first design on the site and a successful payout would have given me proper motivation to carry on submitting designs on hatchwise, but what do you know several weeks past payout day I still got nothing on my paypal account!... I msg hatchwise on all their support mails... NO FEEDBACK!... I WAS SCREWED!... THANKS HATCHWISE... THANKS!
Hi Wole,
I'm so sorry you had trouble getting paid out. I have no idea why you didn't get a response from us, we generally respond to messages within 24 hours during the work week, and usually much quicker.
I'm just seeing this review and I'm assuming things have worked out by now since it's several months old, but if it hasn't please email me at george@hatchwise.com and I'll make sure it gets taken care of right away.
Sincerely,
George Ryan

Hi Cat,
Thank you for your feedback. I see that you have been discussing this in depth with our support team over the past couple of months.
As has been explained repeatedly to you (and also thoroughly documented on our site), we only allow completely original logo designs to be submitted to contests on Hatchwise. This means that clipart, stock images, or un-original work of any kind can not be used. We have a zero tolerance policy for any plagiarism of this sort.
In regards to the more subjective issue of designs being similar to existing designs (especially designs submitted to the same contest), we generally leave the decision to take down or leave up a design to the contest holder, who is ultimately the one completing the transaction with the winning designer (Hatchwise is simply the middleman in all projects). In the case of the contest you are referring to, the contest holder had multiple similar designs submitted to their contest (based on the requirements that they provided when starting the contest and the feedback they provided during it) and they ultimately selected the one that they felt most successfully captured the vision they had for their brand.
Thank you for bringing to our attention the outdated blog post that referred to some now irrelevant parts of our complaint process, as you noted in your review it has been removed since it was longer accurate. Our terms and conditions and the rules for participating in a design contest remain unchanged. We would never change our terms and conditions in response to a complaint and we stand behind all our policies 100%.
We truly appreciate you being part of the Hatchwise community. I am sorry that you are frustrated with the outcome out this contest. I hope that you continue to participate on the site, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further issues.
Sincerely,
George Ryan
Hatchwise
CEO
