Great.  I have to say, I probably didn't consider it enough.  I think
maybe 67 was most appealing because its execution was top-notch.
There are few other logos in the contest that were as polished.  This
just goes to show that a good idea with sub-par execution will
probably make a negative impression on at least some people.
