Bump Dot Net For the People

bump logo

I’m thinking about having a community contest to design a new logo/identity for bump. Despite my best efforts and intentions, I am not a designer, and the sheer amount of effort and practice to make myself better at graphic design is just not something that I can invest in right now. I have a 2nd generation, 20Gb iPod that I am not using anymore, and haven’t sold yet. Do you folks think that it would be enough of a prize to inspire good entries? Is the “iPod as a contest prize” thing being done so much right now that people don’t even care anymore? What would be a better, but reasonable prize for such a contest? Am I better off just hiring qualified folks to do it for me? I mean this is a personal site, and I do already spend my hard earned money for the priviledge of having it.
