The variety of designs that were submitted was very impressive, almost overwhelming, and I really appreciated being able to see so many diverse thoughts. However, unless a designer has a portfolio representing their work, you should proceed with caution. I really wanted to give a new designer the chance to do something great, but they proved to be very inept at very basic branding beyond coming up with a creative logo concept. Ultimately I'm happy with the logo, but I ended up paying for the idea and not a well-executed design.
