I'm just going to make sure there are new processes set in place to prevent this in the future (like obligatory 2257 subdirs when you do design work for us), that's all I can do now.

Excuse me but I've done a fair bit of design work for various people and programs over the years and I've always used content that the client provided me, not images I went and grabbed from somewhere else. Put it this way... had I done any work for your company I would have asked for access to your own legally-owned stash of content in order to find what I needed to work with OR you would have sent me the images you wanted me to use, period.
All insinuation of blame on your designers aside, the responsibility is ultimately yours (the program owner or owners). That is an inarguable fact. Nice that you admit it, but if you're going to also play the "rogue designer" card at the same time, and assuming you're being truthful about that, maybe you should consider this: If you are currently using designers who are prone to grabbing content that doesn't belong to them to create banners for clients then maybe just maybe you should find yourselves different designers?
