People have come to expect that designers are cheap whores, because some act like those.
This contest will take off like all others. 250 was even too much. 100$ would have been a carot big enough to make the mules work.
If the host of the contest had any sense of brand design he would have realized, that he already has a good logo on hand. It would only need some tweeking for a fresher look.
All the other specs he gives in the header should be treated with a redesign of the whole portal.
But if a "contest" is what he likes , heŽll get what he wished for...
Just my
