This brings up the question of what we do about updated logos? Do we replace the existing entries? Do we have another contest? Do we add another entry? Not sure what is really fair to the other contributors.
I guess it depends on what we are looking for. Are we looking for the best we can get, or the best of this crop of submissions. The original rules implied that the highest vote getter among the current submissions would win, but what if the majority does not like the highest vote getter, and wants to have another round of refinement, and vote again? I can not even draw stick people, so I am not entered. I also can not contribute much from an artistic perspective beyond "I like this, I don't like that." However, I'd be a bit disappointed to see us settle on something if we think we can do better. I'm all for fair, but I also think we need to consider the implications of keeping something that is not what we really want versus trying to change the logo in another year. We have rejected library submissions before, with the idea that they can be reconsidered at a later date. Is that an option for the logo? If, at the end of the voting, we are still unsettled, can we punt and ask for a new contest with revised submissions?
