      Bradley Halvorson's Review Sourced from Google

      Absolute crap company, I'm currently filing a lawsuit against them for defamation because they like to tamper with things on the website and are resentful little children. They give you attitude when you asked for what you purchased. Struggle to get my domain and are deleting reviews after I got it.

      Yolanda Torres's Review Sourced from Google

      RUN AWAY from this company! Supposedly located in California. They sold me a package to design the branding, website, and social media for my company for $1500.00. "EVERYTHING" for $1500.00. Have paid over $6000.00 and I have NO control over the material I paid for. They send you everything in formats you cannot use or convert. They want to keep a hold of you to keep asking for money!!!!!! NEVER send anything to print through them!!! Ordered some business cards and brochures and have never received the brochures. To this day I have not received a single invoice or receipt of anything of what I have paid, including the design of the logo, the purchase of the domain and many other things. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

      David McCurrach's Review Sourced from Google

      I believe this company is a criminal enterprise. They are also known as Creative Company and Sketch Profs. Creative Company made a $2,500 unauthorized withdrawal from my checking account. When I protested the transaction, Uptown Logo Design provided a fake receipt, fake transaction and activity logs and fake emails supporting the charge to my account. It was an elaborate and thorough fraud. I'm sure they've used similar fabricated documents before with other people they've ripped off. I reported them to the FTC and FBI.

      Veronica's Review Sourced from Google

      I agree with the other review. This company claims that they can build websites and that they are located in Modesto, California which is not true. I have been calling them for weeks and so far no response. When I told them that I wanted a refund, they quiclky put some items on the website. They are very dishonest
