I think we should vote on the options you outlined below. It seems like
a fair and reasonable way for the community to select a process.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Logo vote


The logo voting seems to have died down at 109 votes cast, and it breaks
down like this (you can see these results at
<http://www.micropoll.com/akira/mpresult/479444-107406>):

No logo: 8%
Do it ourselves: 8%
Combo of professional designer and ourselves: 26%
Don't care: 27%
Professional designer: 31%

Since there was no clear majority, I think we should have a run-off
between
the "combo" option and only a professional designer.

But I think the options should be more clearly stated than they were
before
(sorry!):

Combo Option:
One person would receive all the designs from both internal designers
and
any professional designers willing to submit designs for free, and they
are
put up for a vote without anyone knowing who did which design.

Professional Option 1:
We accept Stephanie Brinley's kind offer, request a few different ideas,
vote on those ideas to settle on one, and the final version is created
from
the winning idea.

Professional Option 2:
Hire a different professional designer (to be determined) from whom we
solicit a few different ideas, vote on the ideas, and the final version
is
created from the winning idea.

Yes, consensus is tedious. Competing ideas, objections, embellishments
welcome. Otherwise, I'll set up another vote on the three options above
and
the one with the most votes takes it.
