99designs.com is a great website with a great model. Think about this, you host and control your own online contest for a design of any sort that you need. For example, if you need a logo for your new company, you can host a competition for the best design that 45,000 different graphic artists can come up with. You will receive hundreds of designs from all over the world. Find one you like, pick it, and award the designer the prize. Usually a one week contest will run you about $250. Of this amount, $200 will be awarded to the winner and you will own the design he/she created. It sounds a bit pricey but for something like a logo which a single designer may charge you,$200 for, you might as well see 100 concepts instead of one. So if you ever need anything designed, check out 99designs.com
