Well, Simeon sent them as individual entries. I posted the entries
as-is as sent by the submitter.

However, for the sake of fairness, I think I agree. For that matter,
I think some of the logos need to be considered as individual
entries with variations. This includes: (3, 4 and 5), (19 and 20),
(38 and 39, as mentioned) and (80, 81 and 82).

Comments? Objections?
