An actual graphic designer probably wouldn't be so easy to handle, but of course we don't know how it exactly went behind closed doors.
But that's another point, setting up an competition without any rules or legal framework people can look up.
Legally it's not secure, for both sides. Just hope they did it afterwards.
But even without thinking about all that - it's mandatory and professional to credit or simply also polite to do that.
No matter if the creator cares about it or not.

I believe it was always announced the logo came from a fan, so it is actually possible to prove. But I do agree some kind of official credit would be nice, I just think it shouldn't be such a big of a deal if you are not one of the intested parties, as we don't know what was the agreement in the first place.
That being said, are the logos credited on the dvd booklets?
