Had a bad experience with a designer on Fiverr. They were "highly rated" and all.
The task was a logo for a side project and we settled on a clean design that was just text and code brackets with a specific font and color scheme (I ended up doing this on my own in the end)
The design was acceptable, but the delivery/communication/execution was atrocious.
The request I made from the start was SVG over transparent backgrounds with the font in two different colors, and three different positions for the logo, so six total SVGs
What I got were:
PNGs
JPGs
Illustrator files
I went back and forth four times before giving up and just marking the job as complete.
Once I finally got SVGs, they were not over transparent backgrounds and/or they were weirdly cut in ways where you could see border lines halfway below the image, and the SVGs were mixed in with the other file formats.
Every time I asked for what I wanted in explicit detail, I would get the complete opposite with, say, one SVG fixed in an acceptable way but another (which was already acceptable from the last delivery) completely broken again
Overall, completely frustrating
