We have launched a design campaign for the CloudPWR logo. The contest is healthy with 46 entries currently. We have guaranteed an award for one of the designs. This has been a very positive experience and I highly recommend 99Designs for anyone looking for a progressive alternative to producing graphic designs. Over the years I have worked with several outside firms and in house designers. The drawback to both of these approaches is twofold. First the scope of designs are limited to only one or two designers working on your project. With 99Designs we were able to work with half a dozen solid artists and provide feedback virtually. Secondly it requires coordinating schedules to review designs and provide feedback. Because you work in the cloud with 99Designs we had the ability to collaborate on an as needed basis without needing face time to go over designs. In my previous experience it would take weeks to get a simple project like this completed. This process will take only 7 days with daily and almost hourly progress. Last but not least is the cost factor, hands down working with 99Designs is way more affordable than a high end design firm or in-house staff.

Also thanks to everyone for the enthusiasm and support. It has been great meeting with contacts all over Puget Sound looking for cloud based alternatives to on premise computing and software platforms.
