This is a freelance website, where freelancers make bids for projects posted on the site. You browse the freelancers by grade, and invite someone that might be impressive, based upon their portfolio/feedback. www.upwork.com.
I created a project. Within 24 hours, 30 bids came in. While browsing the freelancers list, I came across this guy who I felt could be a good fit for what I wanted. http://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/_~014198aac9a56ced15/ .
So, I unpublished the project, and only invited this guy to the project and we agreed terms. The price I gave to the job was $150. I know after, I could have priced it for less than $100. But I was cautious of low balling (you get what you pay for, etc.).
The deliverable was a vector drawing, scale-able for large printouts, decals, wraps, etc. The last image is the final image. I am still pondering over the text 'airshows', my mind keeps thinking '$5 rides', 'Aviation', 'Air Services'...something that's fun, like the satire of ACME, where 'stuff never worked'.
