@team-zissou:
You don't think it will affect things on the high end? The Gap were perfectly ready to crowdsource a new logo for themselves ...

Didn't JCPenney also pulled this for their new logo?

I love how the 1-page web design is $300, but the logo is $50... way easier to make a single webpage than a brand.

Im guessing popular brands like the exposure that a crowdsource competition brings.
They still need to hire someone to do branding for their campaigns anyways.

Buy the site, stationary and business cards first, when you have the money we will design your logo for 50 bucks

I had a lead come to me today that had been disappointed by the quality of some Indian design firm she had initially hired. She sent along a proof they had done for her and --no joke-- it was a screenshot of my own work with the logo switched out.
To complete the irony, I get the impression that she thinks she's getting a deal because the design is "almost done".
