As a professional designer I am ethically opposed to sites like this for the purpose of crowd sourcing graphic design. If you go this direction you will find that designers like me will not participate for this very reason. And these are the people you need involved. If you go down this road you will tarnish Apache Flex among the design community. I can't state this strongly enough. In this community we have ample supply of excellent graphic design expertise who are stoked to contribute.
