Logo Submission Closure

Logo Submission Closure

Thank you all for your enthusiastic support and input.

We have decided due to unforeseen circumstances to close voting early.  The results were fairly conclusive, but a wrench was thrown into our process.

The clear leader was a submission that blew all the other submissions and the incumbent out of the water.  However, it was brought to our attention that the logo may infringe on a copyright.  Throughout discussions with the logo's original author, which was used in no other location than apart of a portfolio for an advertising agency, we made clear we were a non-profit component.  However, the author wanted to talk about payment and we felt that our logo should belong to us and not be a copyrighted item that we received permission to use (which could later be rescinded at any time).

The tallies then placed the incumbent in second place.  It has been agreed by the staff to cease the voting and leave the incumbent in place.

Vote tallies:
#1 - 6 - 8%
#2 - 41 - 55%
#3 - 9 - 12%
#4 - 6 - 8%
#5 - 13 - 17%

Again, thank you all for your input and your support.  Unfortunately, we were not expecting to run in to this issue.
