Leading online stock photography agency purchases the pioneer in crowdsourced design: Wilogo.com

NEW YORK, NY - (March  2012) - Fotolia announces the acquisition of Wilogo.com, a leading crowdsourcing design community. Since its inception in 2006, Wilogo has been connecting businesses and designers from all over the world. Wilogo.com is available in 4 languages, and has produced hundreds of thousands of logos for its clients. Wilogo's community also has designers with skills in print, web, and packaging design, fulfilling businesses with the entire range of their marketing and communications needs.

Citing similarities in corporate mantras, Fotolia CEO Oleg Tscheltzoff expressed optimism towards future prospects of the two companies working together. "Both Fotolia and Wilogo are pioneers in the democratization of graphic design on the Internet. We've helped hundreds of thousands of photographers sell images at affordable prices to millions of business owners and graphic designers. Wilogo goes a step further by helping business owners launch their businesses with the look of an amazing brand on a bootstrap budget."

For a fee of just $295, Wilogo clients post their design specifications to thousands of designers. Just days later, hundreds of custom designed logos are shown. After selecting the top choices, final logos are modified and presented with complete international usage rights. Wilogo's service is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.

"Response from our customers, as well as our design community has been amazing. We've served clients as big as L'Oréal and Danone, as well as Internet startups like Seesmic", says Wilogo CEO Jérôme Bazin. "They're constantly telling us that we have the best solution for their branding needs."
