I now have a very different opinion. The forums and 'service' offering simply take advantage of designers, and in turn degrading the professional approach and cost of PROPERLY designing a creative logo that works. Let's just remember, a logo represents a business and/or product/service. If it's done well you'll use it to promote said business/products for years to come ... that's worth a little more than the $150 Design Outpost are willing to accept for a logo 'project (read: competition, or free pitch.) Still, at the end of the day ... you get what you pay for. Best of luck in getting a good solution from Design Outpost for logo designs. having been a designer who thought Design Outpost would be a good way to ‘get me foot’ in the door … I now have a very different opinion.

Make designers work their ass off producing the goods prior to sale! Yeah, brilliant! I'll hire you for code next, if you only submit your work first in a bidding war. What a brilliant idea!
