I say we let the contest finish as planned, since its almost over (considering
when it was first announced). If the selected logo can't be adjusted so that
most of are happy with it, we can allow people to modify their submitted designs
and submit completely new ideas.

The logo contest rules didn't say that the selected logo waw guaranteed to be
used for any specific amount of time, so I don't think the winner can complain
if the logo is not used on the website, or if it is only used for a few days.
