Spend a few hundred and get it done.

Why should it matter that you are unfunded, it's your gain, it should be your risk right ?

'Much' is of course variable, what you could do is launch as it is, then when you make a bit of $ spend it on a better design.

You're mostly right. It doesn't really matter, and I _CAN_ spend a few hundred. I guess I'm looking for advice on WHERE to spend that few hundred. Has anyone had any luck with 99designs.com? Are there alternatives?

I had a 'rush' job a little while ago and simply placed a call here on HN for a designer looking to make some money, it worked wonderful.

I always have money and small projects for solid designers --- I mean, pretty much year round, budget getting progressively more stale --- and HN has never helped me find one. I'd love to know your secret.

Interesting! I just posted a 5 line item along the lines of "hey if one of you designers doesn't want to go to sleep tonight and make some money drop me an email". Four guys responded, the first one to respond got the job and did it half decent too.

No secret to it.
