Try crowdspring.com

I have competed there before and the quality of work is greater compared to other places.

The other advantage is (not necessarily fair) that you can walk away with your money if you're not fully satisfied. the website will cover a min. payment given to the best designer for their effort.

Here's my profile if you do sign up, i'll be glad to compete http://www.crowdspring.com/user/faramarz/ratings/

How do designers typically feel about crowdspring.com as opposed to what 99designs is doing? They both seem to have similar models.

There are some similarities, but frankly, more differences. crowdSPRING projects are, on average, much higher in value. There are typically many more $1000+ projects, for example, and often, $5000+ projects on crowdSPRING.

crowdSPRING offers graphic and web design projects (99designs does too). But crowdSPRING also offers industrial design (products and product packaging) and copywriting projects.

Although there are far fewer contests overall.

Our top designers tell us they tend to avoid the higher prize contests in favour of the mid-ranged ones where there is less competition and simpler requirements.
