At the risk of opening yet *another* can of worms -- yes, I apologize
in advance -- can we please use a Condorcet method for tallying the
votes if we do have a logo contest?
Here are lots of technical details for those who don't know the term...

http://condorcet.org/rp/index.shtml
...but the bottom line is that Condorcet voting methods work *much*
better than a normal plurality (vote for one) or instant runoff vote
-- especially when there are many choices, as there clearly will be
in this contest.
Debian and Gentoo have both been using Schultze's method, which is a
type of Condorcet method, quite successfully for some time now. Free
software is available for tallying the votes.
Cheers,
Paul
