>I agree with this. There are some groupings that seem arbitrary. For example, a number of entries are grouped together, because they use the same graphic with different colors. I think color is an important part of a logo. (Many companies have a recognizable color scheme that covers more than just their logo. See sun.com, microsoft.com, etc.) It will be a major factor in my vote. I don't want to vote for a design that may have more than one possible outcome. As for what Johan said, it's definitely helpful to see logos on black and white and in different sizes. Sean
