BTW, I wish to retract "if it's good", above. :-)

Bidding at a logo contest is another wrinkle of course. Make sure that 
you know the rules of the contest. Perhaps it says "all entries become

Yes, there are a FEW other factors that makes for a successful business. 
And a company can make up for a bad logo by spending more $ on marketing 
:-)
