Designers doing mockups for free is probably a symptom of more designers looking for work than there are clients willing to pay designers. Why aren't people willing to pay? Is there a glut of people offering high quality services for cheap, or is it that clients can't see the value in the higher priced designers? What would be great would be a chart (backed by solid data of course) showing the ROI on an expensive logo vs cheap logo vs 99designs logo vs the logo made by a founder's teenage neighbor who just discovered photoshop and comic sans. With that kind of data it would be much easier to convince people that 99designs is a good or bad idea.
