I guess I was lucky - I had a good experience, but you certainly raise valid concerns!

This is funny to read due to the fact, I too am starting to look for a logo designer.

I have a person that normally does it for me, but is tied up for the next year. Goodness

I believe that the logo is the most important factor in a brand because that is the first thing you see! Most branding is clear and consise. This gives the audience a taste of what your product is. A too complicated logo tells me that they're trying to hard to impress.

Hello.

I think myself to the logo, and I asked to an artist to make the definitive design, an anko (japanese stamp) in my case. In your case, maybe you need to ask to a graphic. 

Personally, I want to make myself my cards and packaging using hot foil stamping. And for the websites I would to use wix.

I have thought of few minimalist logo designs for my startup. I intend to convert my rough sketches into digital finishing. From where can I get a designer who can also give good advice on the color scheme? Is fiverr or upwork reliable?
