Bah. To get a fresh, new, spanking logo for $100 and a product from their development team... It smells cheap :) Well, if some poor sucker wanna do it, go ahead. What a waste of development time  :-)

Maybe an opportunity for an up-and-coming artist seeking to further a career/get employment.

Would look good and advantageous in their resume/cv.

Hi Boz

 If you read the whole Press Release you will find out that the winning artist can skip the free software if they want and just get $200 via Paypal. The going rate for a broadcast quality animated logo  from a well established video production firm is $400-500 so I think we are offering a far price @ $200 for an entry level web logo.  If you have further suggestions please let us know. We welcome further feedback.

Best regards

Sure, I read it all. $200 is pretty cheap too.
On the other hand, $400-500 is also cheap, but that's their business :)

Well, since I work in the industry, I just like to point out that a logo is not just something you have on a website. It's your company soul so to say. The face outwards. We usually charge our customers depending on how long time it takes and how established the firm is.

An example offer on your firm (that's roughly calculated) we'd charge about $1000. Since you get the logo from a kind of "competition" you don't buy a finished solution. Time will go into sorting the logos, choosing the logo and so on.
Besides, it'll probably have to be extremely high-res or vector-based (you got to think of your image as a company).

Well, if I have misunderstood your "logo-compo" and it's a "only-for-the-web-no-conformity-here" - My bad :)
