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!

GBSTAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS, THEY'RE OUT FOR YOUR MONEY!!! STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS! I am very disappointed in this company. My husband trusted them to do a good job and make him a website but he got scammed and they took all his money with no website in return. YES, even though they claim they have a guarantee money back return policy, they still took all my husbands money! On top of all this, we found out that they have been scamming people under different websites and company names, such as instalogostudio.com or logodesignavenue.com who knows there is probably many others. BEWARE of them!!! They are very unprofessional and unreliable. Once they take your money they start saying you need to pay more for the things you were already promised and that you PAID for! Please, look elsewhere because these people will do anything to get as much money out of you as they can, and will not live up to their promises! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!

GBSCAMMERS AND LIARS This website is a complete scam and are liars. I started a dispute case with my bank and they told my bank that I never asked for a refund. Luckily, I saved ALL my recordings, I demanded an e-mail with a refund receipt, and screenshot all my text messages from them. They are liars, crooks, and scam artist. Make sure to never call them because once your card is on file with them, they will illegal use it as they did to mine. I am still disputing a case with them. These people need to be shut down and reported to the local police. File as many reports as possible so they can be shut down. You can also report them on the usa.gov website.

GBThe Designs Avenue has done… The Designs Avenue has done tremendously well on our project. We approached the designs avenue for our new brand South Mountain Vetus to work upon, since, we have plan to go global and our decision to try The Designs Avenue has been the best bet. We got tremendous outreach from the clients and they literally loved our animation, website and logo for which we are thankful to The Designs Avenue.

GBDesign Avenue is a scam Design Avenue is a scam. Don't ever do business with them especially with a sales person called Alex Stevenson. We made contact with Design Avenue via Bark and the beginning, Alex was very cordial but aggressive which should have been our first clue to pull back but our team lead went along and signed a contract with him. After the contract was sign, Alex called back stating that he needed an extra $1000.00 for customer plugin. We became very suspicious but continued our relationship. Alex promised us that our website will be LIVE the week of July 15. He then kept calling our team lead wanting to sell a mobile app. We had a meeting and decided that we would pursue a mobile app after our website is LIVE. When Alex realize that we are not going to purchase a mobile app, he and his project manager Jerry Parson stopped answering our calls and emails. We were then told that Jerry tested positive for COVID but will be returning to work yesterday and will be able to give us an update. We have not heard back from Alex or Jerry. THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL, DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH DESIGN AVENUE AND PLEASE DON'T DO ANY BUSINESS WITH ALEX STEVENSON. Also, be careful when choosing any professional from Bark. Alex is not a professional and he's not the president of Design Avenue as he stated to us which can be verified on tape.
