What about financing the designers wage by asking him to do artwork
for a t-shirt as part of the assigment?
I for one will love to buy a nice t-shirt to support the project!

I think that Rails has evidenced how important branding is,

TurboGears do what Rails did, and have a branding campaign as

the push towards 1.0. Pay a really, genuinely good designer (like
Jon Hicks, in the case of Rails) to help us lowly programmers brand
TurboGears. This is an investment in the future of the project and
would draw in more users, and contributers.
Stepping up a level: if we had unlimited resources here, who would
you
go to for logo and site design? I'm fond of the work done for
Firefox/Thunderbird for the Mozilla Foundation, but I don't know who
did that. (I'm sure I can find out...) Does anyone else have some
particularly inspiring designers to consider?
Err... the designer who did the Firefox logo was, in fact, Jon Hicks.
