Well the concern is what happens if your business gets ridiculously popular, like a Coca-Cola or something similar and you find out you don't really own the rights to the logo?

You can read if you own the rights in the Fiverr TOS, it explains that you do. All artists on there have to agree to the same thing.

ETA:

quote:
Ownership and limitations (Legal stuff, yach...)

Ownership and limitations: unless clearly stated otherwise in the Gig description text, when the work is delivered, the buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyrights for the work delivered from the seller and the seller waives any and all moral rights therein. For removal of doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered service shall be the exclusive property of buyer. The seller expressly agrees to assign to buyer the copyright in any delivered services that do not meet the requirements of a work-for-hire under the U.S. Copyright Act. Additionally, independent of the U.S. Copyright Act, the seller agrees that unless he indicated otherwise in the Gig description, once the order is completed the seller assigns along with it to the buyer, to the fullest extent possible under the law, all of its rights, title and interest, if any, in and to the delivered service and waives any and all moral rights in connection therewith.

Sellers further confirm that whatever information they receive from the buyer, which is not public domain, shall not be used for any purpose whatsoever other than for the delivery of the work to the buyer.

I read that bit Google about fiverr and ownership and it becomes less clear that you actually own the logo. Even 99designs document isn't necessarily secure.

That's what concerns me when in comparison, a logo firm will get you a notarized legal document that is rock solid.

Of course you're going to pay more than $5.
