I'm struggling with this -- because of course I agree with the designers' main point, which is that professional companies seeking to get a logo 'on the cheap' with a design contest are missing the point.
But this seems to me to be more of a community thing; my guess is that the best submissions you will get will be from existing, talented fan artists ready to put the work in because of the kudos of having designed the logo rather than the chance of payment.
Plus we've been having base design contests for years without them attracting controversy.
