Re: Fast Logo work..?
2 months seems a bit long and why do you have 3 different graphic artists working on it? Are they all from the same company?
Unless you've made a lot of changes in your logo concept that seems like an excessive amount of time to take to design a logo.

Re: Fast Logo work..?
I had the first guy create a logo and got it back to me, and it looked like it was created in paint. I could have done that. So I asked him if he would redo it. Then I didn't hear back so I had another guy start it. He sends me bits and pieces but takes forever. Then I asked a 3rd guy to do it, and he just keeps putting me off. Not sure where to go from this point. Thanks for all the love!

However, it might help to also look into *why* it's taking that long.
How well are you doing at communicating what you are looking for in your logo? How well are you communicating what you want and don't want? How specific are you getting in requesting revisions to the logo design?
While the designers may have dropped the ball, I've also learned that it's often a 2 way street. There needs to be good communication from the client AND the designer.
All of the above comments are good, that is an excessive amount of time.

There are bidding sites out there. You post a bid request, specify how much you will pay, and sit back and watch the designs roll in. You give feedback to each one, then when the deadline comes, you make a decision.

I have many logos. I usually give an artist 24 to 48 hours to get back to me with the initial concept if the idea is a complete custom starting from scratch.
Usually three ideas are presented. After I choose one he will continue revisions until I am satisfied.

You can get logo software off the Internet and create your own logo within just a few minutes.
As regards your logo designers, sometimes it's best just to do things yourself.
To put things in perspective, I can create an entire detailed 11x17 tee design in about seven hours. I think your designers are probably in a coma.

That's definitely an option if you want your company identity to look like it was thrown together in just a few minutes using the "design on a stick" method.

Not if you have the creative skills to use it properly. If you have no creative skills, then you're in the wrong industry.
On a seperate point, I couldn't even tell you what the logo of any of my suppliers even looks like. I am only interested in the products that they sell.

I have a great graphic designer who charges by the piece more than the hour. He did both my logos and my rotating poker chip on my 2 websites ........

I found him on Kijiji about 4 months ago and Have had only him doing work for me since.

Wow...that's way too long. I do logos within a week or two depending on how quickly the customer responds with revisions/approval. I've been doing logos for over 17 years and I've never taken that long to complete a logo.
