Crowdsourcing an artist’s prize possession

Moleskine, the beloved brand of every artist, designer, writer and hipster decided they wanted a new logo for there online community, Moleskinerie. You’ve seen them. The little black books with a little elastic band that holds it shut. Go to any local coffee shop and you can find someone with one. They were used by great creatives, such as Oscar Wilde, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Vincent van Gogh. They have an allure about them that people enjoy.

Recognizing their community is full of talented creatives, they decided to open up a design contest on designboom.com, a web site that helps run crowdsource contests like these. Seems pretty harmless. Right?
