Pretty sure that their terms of service give the purchaser all legal rights to the logo, however, any artist can reserve those rights and charge extra for them - just has to be clearly communicated prior to starting the gig.
So let's say the design costs $5 and then they have another $5 cost for the rights. I haven't seen that much, but it is there in a few cases.

Well I'm just curious if there's actual legal paperwork. I don't know how it stands up in court, but you get an actual signed document at 99designs.
It would hold up just fine since both the artist and client have to agree to the TOS. I am sure 99designs is great but I am also sure they charge more than $5. A great logo doesn't take a skilled artist, just a creative person, so you can get one for $5. Look at the Nike logo.....

No specific paperwork, though I'd imagine the lawsuit from an artist would be a non-starter based on the nature of the commissioned work. Of course I'm guessing the case law on suits over $5 logos is rather undeveloped at the moment so might just be projecting with my thoughts.

No doubt, 99designs has a tiered system. To get a decent amount of attention, you have to spend around $300 or more.

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?

I would start with 10 different designs from the top 10 Fiverr guys and then if I didn't get one I loved I would get a firm.

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.

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.

Quick bump to see if you could recommend a logo designer, 480?
