No company should EVER consider a logo designer that will not run the necessary queries. Additionally, it seems as though the sites mentioned focus on raster-based logos. That works fine for a single purpose, but if you intend to use your logo in print or publication then you should be leaning towards vector artwork. Just slapping a 20 in some guys hands and hoping for the best can actually end up costing you MUCH more down the road than paying a REAL developer for REAL work.
