I think Adam just had in mind doing something fun, and after hearing a lot of concerns he even added a legal disclosure on his post. I think it basically comes down to whether one wants to make a simple logo that would be worth the prize allotted. Otherwise, you're right this wouldn't constituted actually payment for a real design. I see your point Kristin, and some others have expressed similar concern.

Fuller has a great mark - and (for the most part) a great identity system! The purple and gold are everywhere - from their letterhead to signage on campus, even to the flags marking the finish of the Fuller 5k. Crafting identity is more than a logo, it's in the implementation as well. Whether or not you like it, at least you know it's Fuller... Not sure about the contest idea (if you'll allow me to continue to be cynical...sorry!). That approach to a design solution, especially in a non-design environment like a seminary, usually means they don't want to pay for a real designer. That said, it worked for Nike who got their swoosh from a design student for $35. Ouch. What?! Fuller has a great mark – and (for the most part) a great identity system!
