The original poll form is no longer up.... I thought I remember seeing a 1st and 2nd choice on a single form, but perhaps that was one of Mark's polls. Anyway, my analysis was about the splitting of a vote... many variations of one logo while only a single variation of another style. Doesn't make for a fair vote. > I can't say that I follow you and your assumptions, just let me know what to > do next ;) Whatever you like ;-) I'll personally go with the community at large in this look-n-feel business (that's why I didn't vote). -Yonik
