My experience with quality designers on dribbble is that they don't take on very small jobs. They get hit up a lot so you have to appear worthwhile ($$$). Here is the email I used to reach out and got 8 responses contacting 12 designers:

Hi [name],

I'm the co-founder of [startup]. I saw your work on Dribbble - impressive! We are looking to do a design overhaul and I wanted to chat to see if this is something you would be interested in.

Would you have some time this week to jump on a skype call?

Thanks

Your project could be too small for them to respond. Have you considered 99designs or using Elance, Odesk, etc?

I'll try 99designs. I don't like the way Elance works, it's feels way too focused on getting me to signed up (and paying) instead of getting my project to work.
