        <description><![CDATA[It seems everyone is a designer at some level. How functional of designs they produce is an entirely different and totally unqualified and quantified answer. &quot;Its significant that more than 1,000 professional logo designers were part if the process. No doubt the other 4,000-some entrants represent new talent who otherwise may have never been seen.&quot;  It's more telling that 4000 people felt they were as capable as the 1000 &quot;professional&quot; designers - and may well have been. The term &quot;designer&quot; doesn't imply any particular level of expertise, training, skill level, or financial success - just some level of creativity that produced something of unproven worth. It was even more telling regarding the professional level of design that of the five chosen - only one was from a &quot;professional&quot; designers. With that level of professionalism perhaps crowd sourcing is functional, but then flipping a coin to decide might be just as much so.]]></description>
