AMSTERDAM, June 23 /PRNewswire/ --     PimTim, the online marketplace for graphic design, used its own platform
(http://www.pimtim.com) to challenge creative people from all over the world
to design its new identity. Today, PimTim shows its identity and website to
the world.

PimTim

PimTim is a crowdsource platform that challenges the traditional way of
doing business in the graphic design industry and encourages designers and
buyers all over the world to go into business together by means of a contest.

Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing has proved itself as a genuine new distribution
platform for "user generated content" from YouTube to the way in which Obama
used the crowd for his election campaign. PimTim offers buyers, who need a
graphical design, a large community of graphic designers around the world.
Buyers can set their own prize and the designers compete for the buyer's
prize by showing their creative quality, talent and ideas.

Proof-of-concept

PimTim used its platform, as a proof-of-concept, to design their new
identity to show the potential of unlocking creative talent from all over the
world. The contest, which ran 3 weeks, delivered 1,117 designs (!) from 234
creatives from more than 30 countries.

"Our expectations were surpassed," said Vincent Bröring, cofounder of
PimTim. "Did you ever see a contest with so much creativity unleashed? We
are very happy it went this way because it shows the possibilities of PimTim
and that there is creative talent everywhere around the world."

Karsten SkjoldhÞj, Director of Designmind, a Danish design-agency from
Charlottenlund won the contest prize of Euro 2,500. "It was my intention to
create a strong, timeless, beautiful identity with a clear idea. And by
telling the PimTim story in a simple and yet strong way with a twist of
humour," said Karsten.

Fast and easy

PimTim is transparent, funny, fast and easy. You post a design-project
for a logo, stationary, a T-shirt-print, a website-design or another graphic
illustration. You set your prize. You get many different quality designs from
all over the world. Every design is visible and can be commented on easily.
You choose the best design. And that all within two weeks time.
