GBBunch of Scam Artists - STAY AWAY!!! In April of 2020 I had a movie logo designed for an Independent Film I have been working on. I bought the $199 Logo Plus package with "100 % Ownership Rights" after I paid for the life time copyright additionally in which was never mentioned or said on their website. 2 years later I had the complete misfortune of this company reaching out to me and telling me my 2 year copyright was up. Wanting to avoid any legal trouble I agreed to renew for 5 years, then told I had to do another step in order to "secure my copyright." This was the publication/notarization. Afterwards I'm told I can't have my logo without going through trademark next, then finally website/business registration. I asked if this was the "final fee" in order to "own" my logo and they told me it was. A couple weeks later I was contacted by their "legal department" Keith Fernandez and told I need a "finalization" fee and FINALLY they needed some information from me. No contracts, no agreements, no paperwork from these guys the entire time. But they wanted my business EIN, driver's license and so on. I told them "no." I already spent $6995 for the above mentioned "fees" to attempt and own the logo I was supposed to have "ownership" of years ago and told I needed to spend ANOTHER $4,000 in order to finalize everything. Kevin Jones "attempted" illegally to be my "attorney" and told me I would be receiving "penalty fees" for not paying the final fee. I asked for a refund which I was also told "no." I ended our final call by telling them there is nothing more to discuss. Afterwards I went to my bank and filed fraud for NEVER receiving anything above in which I paid for with no "documentation" of any kind. Within the next 2 days they've been calling at least 2 - 3 times with no voicemails. This company will use "big" words and a lot of legal terms, consistently interrupt you when you speak, talk down to you, give you false information, incorrect deadlines and so on in order to use scare tactics on you to pay all these so called fees. I will be having another graphic designer design me a new logo as I will be scrapping the one these crooks made for me. Great logo, but a lot of false information and harassment with years to follow. They aren't worth anyone's time. If they decide to take things further I welcome it in the court of law. Stay away!

GBThey drop the price but will give you… They drop the price but will give you half the service you signed for. Their designs are pretty much stock designs from the net. They stopped responding to my request for balance of contracted services. I will need to go to another company to get what I need.

GBStarted working with them 1/21/20 for a… Started working with them 1/21/20 for a online store website. As of today 1/1/21 I still don't have a website and they have been paid 1325.00. Have went thru 3 customer support person and nothing has happened. I would not recommend anyone to use this company for anything. My contract says 100% Money Back Guarantee hoping this works but nothing so far. Have tried to contact them again today and nothing happens will be contacting a lawyer for help.

GBSTAY AWAY… FAR AWAY I’d give these people a negative review if it was possible. I had them make me a logo. I paid for the logo and whatever else they said was required for the logo. All in all I think I paid around $500. I used the logo on my website and my Instagram account for about a year. (January 23)After which they started calling asking for more money, telling me I can be fined $10,000 if I don’t agree to send them more money. I informed them the business I created didn’t last and I don’t have any money to send them, the guy on the phone started berating me and threatened to sell my logo to someone else (as if I cared). A few days later I got a call from a different guy saying the same thing “you need to reregister your logo for $500”. I told this guy what happened with the previous guy and then blocked their phone numbers. Today, January 24 I received a text telling me that I am in violation of all these different codes if I continue to use the logo I paid for. I don’t actually care because I don’t even do the business anymore but it speaks to how crooked this company and it’s employees are. The text was even signed “head of legal services”. STAY AWAY… FAR AWAY!!!

CADoes not fullfil what they have promised Be careful in investing with Designing Avenue. Make sure you get clarity on what will be delivered before coming to an agreement. I had multiple bad experiences with them. Some got sorted after long emails, while some they do not care. Once they get money the do not even value you as a customer. I am giving them 2 star just because they have few good workers who can meet your needs. But they need more money
