Fixed.

Actually there is no default  background  at  all.  Whatever
your browser settings are will be used. If we use background
settings we have to set all foregrounds (text and links)  as
well.  I kept the page simple on purpose but if you think it
should be more fancy that would be no problem.

For me at does not matter. There would not be major  changes
to  the current pagem, I guess. For the second stage I would
keep the page and display just the remaining logos. 

It might be too much efford for the voters to vote twice.

If you want to cheat you would like to vote for one logo not
for  20.  So  if you have 100 email addresses you would vote
each time for one logo and distribute your  remaining  votes
over  the  remaining  107 logos. This would ensure that your
favorite logo got 100 votes and the other logos got  1  vote
on average. 

I think we cannot avoid cheating at all.  After  the  voting
time  we may look through the votes and see if there are any
suspicions. We may check domains and  user  names.  But  the
question  is if we find any suspicions what can we do. Shall
we delete this votes? What if two people have similar  email
addresses? 

Cheers, Uwe
