Guide to using Fiverr for Twitch Emotes, overlays, badges, logos and panels

If you have a Twitch channel, you’ll know that customization – making your channel a true representation of your brand – is key to standing out and growing your audience and fanbase on Twitch. But how do you customize your Twitch channel with bespoke emotes, overlays, badges and everything else when you’re not exactly a graphic designer.

You need Fiverr for that. In this guide to using Fiverr for Twitch, I detail how you can get all the emotes, logos and overlays you need for your channel made on Fiverr. And cheaply too!

But first, why Fiverr (and not the other freelance platforms and DIY outlets)

I already made a hint to it in my first paragraph; Fiverr is an insanely cheap place to get logos, emotes and everything you need to glamorize your Twitch channel.

And despite being cheap, you still get quality stuff made. I’ve been using Fiverr for all sorts of graphic design needs for years now, and for the price you pay, you’re getting what’s perhaps the best description of value for money spent.

It’s also incredibly easy to hire a Twitch designer on Fiverr (as you’ll soon see). The process from logging into the platform to getting a Twitch designer working on your project takes only about a few minutes. That’s compared to other platforms where you might need to interview candidates or sort through an unoptimized pile of Twitch designers.

For the money you pay for a Twitch design on Fiverr, you get a custom made design that, as I said, is every definition of the term value for money spent. That’s compared to other platforms where designers usually use templates to create generic, usually off-brand designs that look a lot like what everyone else is using.

This is one of Fiverr biggest advantages over other platforms when it comes to Twitch emotes, logos, boards and badges.

How do you get good Fiverr Twitch emotes and everything else you need for your Twitch channel?

Fiverr is a freelance marketplace, so much like you would shop for groceries on Amazon, you can shop for designers specializing in Twitch emotes, Twitch logos, overlays and panels for your channel. Once you settle on a Twitch designer on Fiverr, they’ll get to work and deliver your preferred Twitch graphics in a matter of days or sometimes hours.

Here’s how to find the best Fiverr Twitch designer for your needs:

1. Start by searching for what you need done

Fiverr has a dedicated Twitch store where you’ll find all the Twitch emote, overlays and logo designers you’d need bundled up in one place. You can begin your search for a Twitch graphic artist on that category page, or you can simply type in whatever kind of design you need made into the search bar.

Fiverr also has a post a request section called Buyers Request, where you can post the details of what you need done and have Twitch graphics designer bid on your job. I advise against using this method as it can be tough to properly vet the quality and talent of the designers bidding on your job. However, if you have some special Twitch graphics design needs, it makes sense to make a custom job post.

2. Make a preliminary shortlist

From the Fiverr Twitch artists you can see on the category or search results page make a shortlist using the following screening criteria;

Their portfolio

Which is viewable when you click the Twitch designer’s gig page on Fiverr. Portfolios give you a nice idea of what your piece would look like if you commissioned the Fiverr Twitch designer. You need to be careful to check portfolio samples from people who’ve used the service on Fiverr. Not just random portfolio samples

You can tell Fiverr specific portfolio samples apart because they usually have a review attached to them, like this;

Their ratings

Other buyers of twitch services on Fiverr get the chance to leave reviews for their projects. Check out the reviews but be wary of fakes. Here’s how to be objective with reviews, so you don’t get swayed by the fake stuff;

A healthy number of positive reviews is fine but not the gold standard. If a review is going to be fake, it’ll be a five-star review. So while a good number of five-star reviews signal quality in any Fiverr Twitch gig, you shouldn’t pay too much attention to them.

Negative reviews provide a more objective way to assess ratings on Fiverr. Once the number of negative reviews for a Twitch designer on Fiverr is approaching a 10 – 20 threshold, that’s a sign they might not be as good as they claim.

You’ll also want to check out the content of the negative review. Are the complaints trivial? Do they hint at poor quality Fiverr Twitch designs? And is there a theme with the complaints? If more than two, three or five reviewers complain of the same problem, you can be sure there’s some truth to their issues.

3. Choose your Fiverr Twitch designer

From your shortlist of preferred Twitch designers on Fiverr, you can make a selection based on your personal conviction. However, don’t fail to;

📌 Factor in the price. Expensive is not always better, but from experience, I’d say it’s better to not aim for the cheapest Twitch design gig on the list. Something in the middle of expensive and cheap works great, and you’ll see that when you screen, the best Fiverr Twitch gigs in terms of portfolio quality and ratings fall into this category.

📌 Consider the overall offering of the gig you’re buying. Check the deliverables and how they match up with the price. Sometimes you might get a Fiverr Twitch emote creator with what might seem like jacked up rates compared to the others on your preliminary list. However, a closer inspection might reveal that they are actually delivering more than the others and vice versa.

What kind of Twitch designs can you get on Fiverr?

Pretty much the whole carousel of graphic art you’ll need to fully customize your Twitch Stream is available for purchase on Fiverr.

That’ll include:

1. Fiverr Twitch emotes

Emotes are essential for creating your brand and carving out a niche for yourself on Twitch. They add that extra bit of sophistication and flair that’s sure to drive engagement and overall promote your channel. Think of them as digital souvenirs. When you get a emotes pack made for your Twitch channel, you’re giving your followership a digital token they can use to better express themselves on your channel, all the while boosting your brand identity.

2. Fiverr Twitch Overlays

If you’ve got a Twitch stream you need an overlay to truly own your stream content. Overlays are custom skins designed for you, based on your brand, for your streamable content. That way, whenever someone watches your content, they can get an overall feel of your brand on Twitch.

While there are so many freely downloadable overlay templates online, you’ll need something bespoke to stand out from the crowd. Fiverr’s got tons of custom overlay creators on their Twitch marketplace.

3. Fiverr Twitch Badges

Badges are for your Twitch fans! If you’re serious about creating a community on Twitch, badges will help you create a sense of community that makes everything tick. On Twitch, different kinds of community members get different types of badges. You can make custom twitch badges to take this a step further.

4. Fiverr twitch Logos

I talk about hiring a logo designer on Fiverr in my guide available here. But what you need to know is a custom logo is just as important as emotes for defining your brand and stream on Twitch.

Your logo is what most people will see first when they happen on your Twitch. It needs to look good but not just good, endearingly good to make new visitors interested. You can get all of that and more in a logo through the Fiverr logo design category.

5. Fiverr Twitch Banners

If logos were the first thing buyers see when they get to your page, banners are the next. They define the whole vibe of your channel and work to accentuate the image of your channel logo and theme. Very essential if you’re serious about branding yourself out of the sea of streamers on Twitch.

How much will it cost to get a Fiverr Twitch emote, overlay, badge or banner?

The actual price you’ll pay for a custom-made Twitch graphic on Fiverr varies by graphic and the artists’ rates. On average, though and so you have an idea, expect to pay anything between:

💰 $5 – $30 for a single Twitch emote design

💰 $5 – $50 for a Twitch overlay

💰 $5 – $20 for a Twitch badge

💰 $5 – $40 for a twitch banner

💰 $50 – $1000 for a twitch logo design 

From this price list, it’s easy to see that Fiverr is probably the cheapest option for custom Twitch designs online. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another platform offering actual bespoke Twitch emotes, overlays, banners and badges in a sub $30 price range.
