What sort of feedback are you looking for at this stage? Is this more of a "sounding board" thread, where you're looking for comments, ideas, etc, and then you plan to do more work on the logos?
Or are we actually trying to select a finished logo? If the latter, then perhaps we want to make use of Single Transferable Vote. It's how we elect board members at the ASF, and so we have tooling for it. Basically, everyone who is eligible to vote is sent an email, and they indicate their preferred order of the logos. Once the time is up, the tool will tell you the final results. More info here: http://wiki.apache.org/general/BoardVoting I'm just thinking it might be easier to do this sort of decision making with a tool more suited to there being many options, and many stated preferences for "this or that option".
