A VA service, like TimeSvr.com or myriad others, but for graphic design.

I need little graphics made all the time (banners, logos, etc) and right now I have to interact with Fiverr/Elance more than I want to. Not looking for Picasso, just decent quality.

So, I want to have an account with a service who will "just bill me" for little graphics. Please, someone make this.

If you don't mind me asking, what sort of business do you have that requires little graphics made all the time? Genuinely curious.
That is a great service! Thank you for the link!

However, its not quite what I want - its really focused on tiny jobs, They won't do anything if it takes over 30 minutes, and I don't think they'll create anything (e.g., a banner ad), only modify something you already have.

I'm fine with a job taking 2-3 hours and billed accordingly, its the latency and overhead of finding/scheduling these small tasks that sucks.

I agree that the latency and overhead of scheduling for the small tasks suck. If you get lucky and a find freelance designer that you like working with it would greatly decrease that overhead. I do some freelance web work with a few clients that I've grown close business relationships with, and its typically just a matter of receiving an email with some requirements, having a brief text chat, and then sending them the invoice. It might take a while to find the right person, and even then it might take a while to build the relationship that allows for very little friction, but when it happens its worth it.
