99designs is a concept I was not familiar with, but it's the find of the year for me. The concept of running a contest and having designers from around the world submit to that contest is so amazing! Rather than selecting one designer and being dependent on one person's creative juice, this gives the huge advantage of being able to choose from amongst the creative output of an incredible group of professionals. It's been a fun endeavor and has lead to an amazing logo for my new company.
