But our logo ain't one

It's spec work that cheapens the industry.

With that being said, I participated in 99 design contests while in school and shortly after graduation. It was one of the few ways that I could get some experience working with clients and progressing my skills in corporate branding since most businesses weren't willing to hire a recent college grad without a job history. I made some money from the site but ultimately moved on to other things since the payout vs. the work put in sucked.

It sucks. Reach out to people you want to work for or have them contact you. If you don't, you'll be stuck in a situation where you're endlessly chasing that winning contest entry. You'll be doing so much work only to not be picked.

It's a dartboard. Throw your design and see if it hits.

The client doesn't post a proper breif and you can't get proper feedback.

A good logo meets objective criteria and takes in to account 'selling the product/serivce' not 'does the client like it' ...

Client's subjective like/dislike is garbage. The success of a logo is science. Therefore 99Designs indulges only the client's whim, not an actual problem/solution.

ERGO 99Designs, is a waste of money for the client, regardless of how much they pay.
