I'm a fan of TopCoder Studio (http://studio.topcoder.com). They're the only site I've seen that runs contests for Flash, HTML, widgets, mobile, etc. There's only so many logo design contests one designer can compete in. :) Since these comments are already going down the path of listing worthy sites not included in this post, why should I be the one to stop a trend?

One issue to consider is to make sure your client is fine with you crowdsourcing the work. They might not like their to-be-designed logo published on the internet prior to having their ownership of it first. I guess that is why some of these site have a feature called "private project" where the public is not able to see the work in progress. Crowdsourcing is fine.

Maybe in a way web dev and design as an occupation is dying in the west as it becomes uneconomic. Maybe we should all become accountants instead.
