Okay, y’all, I gotta spill the beans :teacup_without_handle:. I bootstrapped my side hustle app with a logo I made for $8 on Fiverr, and it unexpectedly became a hit. Let’s compare: DIY logos vs. hiring expensive designers. Thoughts? :thinking:

Bro, but like $8?? Did you just ask someone’s little cousin to doodle in MS Paint? :joy:

No cap, I feel you. I spent $0. Made my logo in Canva with free elements, and users LOVED the raw vibe :cherry_blossom::sparkles:.

Yo, if it vibes with your audience and saves $$$, why not? Small teams gotta flex those creative muscles :flexed_biceps:.

Question tho: Did the cheap logo affect your brand perception? :rainbow:

SideHustleHero

Surprisingly, no! Got positive feedback for being ‘real and relatable’. Users said it felt genuine, not corporate. :heart:

That’s wild, fam. I spent $500 on a logo redesign that flopped. Sometimes, simplicity wins. :man_facepalming:

Honestly, if it looks good and works, who cares about the price? We’re the generation of minimalism and authenticity, amirite? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

But the real question: did you consider color psychology or just wing it? :artist_palette:

Lol, purely vibes. Found a color combo that matched the app’s theme. Turns out, it’s a hit! :rainbow:

Ethical sourcing? Fiverr’s cool, but I hope the artist got a fair deal. :globe_showing_europe_africa:

Great point, Eli. Chose an artist with good reviews and paid extra for a tip. Support the creators! :raising_hands:

Could’ve used AI to generate a logo for like nothing… :desktop_computer::robot:

VibeQueen

@CryptoCrazeChris, AI is cool but lacks the human touch. GenZ vibes over perfection, ya know? :glowing_star:

MemeLordMarcus

Real talk: did you get roasted for not using fancy designers? :eyes:

16

SideHustleHero

Not really, surprisingly. People love a good underdog story. Plus, it became a talking point. :trophy:

TrendsetterTina

Honestly, sometimes the story behind the brand matters more than slick design. Authenticity is the future. :sparkles::ok_hand:

Imagine if Nike started with a $8 logo. Iconic things can start humble, right? Just Do It :joy:

Facts. As long as it clicks with your audience and aligns with your values, it’s a win. :100:
