I'm okay with it being done by a volunteer as long as this volunteer
should is a professional designer rather than an amateur. Branding is
important and having one *good* graphic for all the things related to
the conference (website, T-shirt, badges, swag bag etc.) is a good
thing.

The US PyCon logo was designed by a volunteer (Idan Gazit I think). I
don't know if he was paid for it but he was a designer by profession who
was involved with the Python community. That's fine. 

Giving precedence to the "volunteer" aspect even if the person designing
it is not a professional will hurt the image of the conference and I'm
against that.

In any case, we need a timeout for this.
