I submitted my first design on crowdspring and it won. I was told I was awarded a $500 prize all I had to do was send them my proofs which I did. Weeks roll by with me asking “do you need anything else?” over and over with no response. Finally right before the 30 days are up the buyer says “We are not happy with your proofs we changed our mind.” So this is after crowdspring had announced I was a winner and the buyer had already posted my design all over their website. (Of course they took it down and are trying to act like they never had it posted) When I brought this to their attention My profile was deleted from crowdspring, no money, zilch. So not only did I lose the $500 I lost all the work I had put into about 50 designs that were still in contests.

Well, you may have spend $$ to go a good school, learn a bunch of stuff about branding, marketing, and logo creation. If that is the case, you might more than likely be pissed that this site is even in existence.

You could be a very well read person, who is just as good or even better than a degree holder, and just can’t get on your feet because you do not have a degree, then you are happy to get work, and sharpen your skill, so you would love this site.

This is just the way it is. I say, stay well informed, know all there is to know about CS, then do what works for you.

And the thing is that the customer could just rip off the good works from the contributions and not having to honor any contract and pay anyone.

Too much FREE ideas for all..your works might end up being used by others.

good story, tried it out a while back but the price point is probably not Asian centric.
however it is a good source for *ideas* (doing it the asian way)….
