Which "vote" are you talking about? _I_ am very disappointed that so many
people fail to see that the "feedback pages" have not been used for
"ranking" or "voting", but to give the logo designers feedback about how
to improve their logos.
As you can see from the results, a lot of the "voters" didn't know the
difference between a "logo" and a "CD cover".
If people still fail to see the exact intention of the "feedback pages",
I'll remove them and just make a page which lists all logos without any
order. We've made the decision out of _all_ logos, not because of a
"ranking".
Hope this clarifies our decision,
Chris
