I think we would have no issue getting a small amount of funding from the foundation to feed an external logo competition... but I think we would want to have some scope defined for such a competition... so yeah I see no issue with using the top 3 as seed for an external logo competition, e.g. on the site already mentioned on a previous thread... but I think we do need a spec and part of the point of this discussion is to generate such a spec.
