Hi Doug, I have a real concern as to how reliable the voting works when we want to choose the best logo for Apache Flex, remember this is based on quantity, not quality. The idea is bad.
Can I suggest that you should invite the right designers in Adobe, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy, etc to do the voting and not us since we are not truly the best person to decide. I believe choosing the wrong logo will tend to give the wrong impression and purpose. Thanks. Hugh.
