I think it's possible, but absurd, but still possible that crowdsourced work may be sometimes better than commissioned work...
why? because some commssioned work has been through so many mediocritizing meetings and "make it pop" moments that it's lost all soul....
and the random stuff from crowdsourcing may be fresher in comparison, randomly riffing off of whatever the fresh designers who did it saw in Archive or Communication Arts or whatever...
So... the clients desire to get more power in the process by using crowdsourcing may be oddly contradictory but strong, as they're actually bypassing their own dilution of aesthetic due to all those crap meetings where things get watered down and eventually the client just decided to crowdsource the logo because the designers have followed the clients own random whims....
moral to story, be a strong designer, find strong clients, or be replaced by crowdsourcing?
