"Set up a new business and used branded…"

Set up a new business and used branded logos as they seemed very professional, logo design and website set up was fairy quick and finished to a good standard with no complaints.
That is when the problems started…
Contacted after initial payment with changes to our original contract and charged again for the domain and we hosting to continue after 1 year. Paid £400 for 5 years hosting only to have the website and emails etc etc to suddenly disappear. Now left with no domain and no website and ultimately an unprofessional looking business damaging my brand. I guess there is some irony there called branded logos, we ruin your brand.
Be warned! Hard to get hold of and no customer service skills,

"I am joining the fight to stop these…"

I am joining the fight to stop these guys. They scammed me out of money and refuse to give it back. It’s a constant back and forth with them. Please do your due diligence. This is not it. Idk about all these positive reviews. I spent about 1300$ with them and have been trying to get my money back. They threatened legal action I ignored it completely and called and explained that they need to return my money. They explained that they will return my money. It’s been 2 years now & they still call me telling me I owe them money. I am reporting them to the bbb.
I called them about returning my money nothing came of it. Please look somewhere else if you need a website. They won’t return your money at all no matter what they say.

"Be very careful this is a scam"

Be very careful this is a scam, never finished my website and kept ask more money spoke to about 20 different people , their licence number is nonexistent, the worst nightmare I have been through in my life.
They stole about £800 from me and I never got a working website !
Went to someone else and it took them 1 week.
I battled with this company 3 years and got nothing out of it.
Beware they are scammers.
Also beware of giving your bank details to them.
I was dissuaded about a year ago and was told that if I took off my bad review they would finish my website and stupid me I did but they never finished and that would be extortion.
They are being investigated.

"Logo design - MORE AND MORE MONEY"

Paid for logo design (which included "100% Ownership" per their website) and I bought the most premium package. All went well - the logo design was fun... but then the phone calls. First that I owed them another $220 for the copyright. Reluctantly (and stupidly) I paid, but no copyright - just another phone call saying that the $220 was for legal paperwork and now they needed $398 for the copyright. This was a horrible experience. I still can't use my design, and they are basically holding my logo hostage until I give them more money. Ridiculous and HORRIBLE false advertisement regarding pricing.

"ROUGE TRADERS"

Paid for a website, hosting and domain for 5 years. Never gave the credentials to anything then the domain expired and went back on the public market! (After 1 year) Hosting suspended and no access to anything. Called, emailed and messaged and no reply. Will now start legal action to reclaim the money spent and also damages. DO NOT GIVE THESE CON MEN YOUR MONEY!
They also changed names and have other websites called Brandedwebstudios.com

"I am so happy the BBB and FTC opened an…"

I am so happy the BBB and FTC opened an investigation on Brandedlogodesigns due to the amount of scams that was reported.

"FRAUDULENT, INCOMPETENT,DECEITFUL COMPANY"

The other one star reviews sound exactly like what happened to me...over charging, paying for copy write papers that were never received, still waiting two years later. They keep calling and demanding more money for the papers, even though I have already paid for the filing and the papers. They had the audacity to email me fake papers..... did not even have my company name or the proper logo attached. They had someone text pretending to be from the US Patent office threatening to arrest me if I did not send more money for the papers. I called them on that,and told them that i had filed a complaint and he got all sarcastic and told me I was being stupid. I got a phone call from their COMPLIANCE OFFICER telling that he was sending over legal papers and to please acknowledge that I was in breach of contract. I just ignored him... of course no papers ever arrived. They did, however tell me if I continued to use my logo I would be arrested and fined.

They charged me a year up front for SEO services that promised my site would show up in first place on google search.... you can't find my site anywhere.... I was also supposed to receive monthly reports. The only report I ever received was after I called complaining about receiving and they actually sent me ANOTHER company's monthly report. The SEO efforts were ridiculous in terms of what they were writing... English is clearly not their first language, and they knew nothing about my business. Thew blogs looked like they were written by a five year old. I had to call them and tell them to not write anything on my website or facebook anymore. I run a dog walking business. here are a couple of things they actually wrote:

" Dog do not like to be inside and like to go on walk"

"Dog is member of family but if don't get walks might bite the kids"

Seriously.... they actually wrote that.

They tried to charge me for a security certificate that my host supplies for free.

They call me constantly to harrass me looking for more money or to offer more services. I tell them DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN, and i block their number. They change the number and keep calling me. I think I have blocked at least 6 numbers by now.

The last straw was the phone call got about the security of my website and I was going to be "really sorry" if I didn't pay them $800 to fix it. I hung up on them and they continued to call and text, threatening me. Low and behold, I went to my website and they had delated all the pages and content. I wrote the entire content and supplied all the photos, BTW. I called and told them to put it back up and they said, oh sorry, the wordpress licence expired. (wordpress does not expire). Now I have another guy, Danny Fisher, texting me saying he is Sr. Compliance Manager, wanting to "discuss about the security of your website". I told him I have no more use for his company and told him why. All of a sudden he is now Senior SEO expert and he needs 1% of my trust to get the other 99% back. Then he tells me he is not in sales but for $1200( for three months) he will do a better job on my SEO and guarantees google rankings...right. I asked if he was Compliance, SEO expert or sales? He promised to get my website content back up and would touch base in the morning to see if I was happy. that was two weeks ago and my website content is still missing.

There are so many more things that went on over the course of the past two years but it would take a month of Sundays to address them all.

Bottom line is, this company is fraudulent, incompetent, deceitful and criminal. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this company. You will be lied to, harassed, threatened and scammed.

"Branded Logo Designs-Paid over $5,000 for a deficiently designed website and bogus copyrights"

My employer paid them over $5,000 for a website redesign and multiple copyright fees for applications that were never filed and we did not receive paperwork on, even after asking for it. They gave us a website that was clearly written by someone who didn't know the English language very well so our site had to be completely rewritten. They did not follow instructions well, and when we gave them updates for wording, the changes weren't made. It took over a year to get our website which was very disappointing, so we obtained login info. which we told them we wanted from the start so we could manage the site on our own. They somehow ended up hosting the site which we then migrated to GoDaddy.com as they kept calling and wanted more money for WordPress updates, more copyright fees and some other bogus fees related to google, etc. Even after we migrated the site they made another call, to my boss’s cell phone, claiming to be with the US patent office and charged another $500 to credit card for a state copyright fee that is nonexistent and sent an invoice first from BLD and then a bogus invoice they made using government seal from US Patent and Trademark Office. I tried to find our copyrights for logo and video on uspto.gov and copyright.gov and had no luck using our Company name or registration number given on the bogus invoice. I can only assume that any good reviews are not viable for this company on this site, and I recommend that you meet face to face with anyone you want to do business with, especially when it comes to your website and other important business matters. They also go by other names per credit card statement: DESIGN RATIONALE, LOGO COMPANY, DESIGN COMPANY and may have renamed the company DESIGNING AVENUE or they are working together to defraud unsuspecting small business owners.
11/01/2019 Update:
Now Branded Logo Designs is resorting to extortion and withholding copyright info. which we paid $1,600 to receive. They (John Baker) has texted my boss with the same threats to withhold information until this negative review is removed. I don't know how they would provide documentation when copyrights are not filed with uspto.gov which is where they claim filing was done per bogus invoice received. Please note that company name has changed as well. See emails below. I was not allowed to include email addresses so had to edit with a *.

Although we disputed an additional $500 charge on 9/29/19 for additional copyrighting fees for documents we never received, they were able to push through $500 charge which posted a month later to credit card account under a new business phone (888) 420-8889, name and website called uptownlogodesign.com and they have many other websites using same phone number.

"Brandedlogodesigns was excellent in…"

Brandedlogodesigns was excellent in everything! The overall experience was really good. I hired them for my website and animation. Both of them were of high quality and delivered on time.
