Hi guys,

The Startup Dream will be my next blog/community/project. I ran a 99design contest, and I was wondering if I could enlist your help to pick a logo. I realize none of these are award winning (you get what you pay for), but I hope we can find a decent one.

I will detail my experience with 99designs when the site goes up within the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Antonio.

EDIT: Here is the design brief to learn more about the project: https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/logo-startup-drea...

EDIT 2: Illuminating and hilarious comments so far. I can always count on this community.

Having not used them yet, I'm eager to hear about your experience with 99designs!

I know it's meant to be a "cheap" alternative to working with a designer, but it's still a bit disappointing when the highest-rated logo of 25 averages a 3.3/5 rating (with four of the five rating options being positive).

If possible when you write the post up, could you talk about your options for a custom fit to your app? I see a lot of variance between these "best" options, so I wonder how much guidance you were allowed to provide (that is: whether the random assortment of styles, themes, and colors is on purpose or due to restrictions on the process).
