Hi,
"""
Note: The design as accepted by popular vote will be treated as a
proposal that can be tweaked and cemented into it's final published
form.

Note the rules say "design" not logo. What you are worried about is
not an issue.
AIt has also been stated that the url that was submitted is the design
being voted on even if designers make newer versions, they need to
update the original submission url.

Quoting Matthew Poole <mattjpo...@gmail.com>:
Incidentally, many of the logos on the submissions page have multiple
variations. How would the voters know the are voting for the
same variation of a specific logo?
Might not be important, but perhaps we should have stipulated that the
entrants provide one variation only per submission, but allow multiple
submissions per entrant?

This is why the vote needs to be on the list. All of us can see who cast
each vote. A lot of work for the person tallying the results, but it is
completely transparent. This is particularly important for PPMC votes which
are the ones that are "binding."
The PPMC ought to consider what the larger community thinks. Remember one
of the goals for graduation from the incubator is proving the capability of
growing and adding new committers to the project based on the merits of
their contributions to the community. The community includes more than
coding.
