Yes, that is true. The first round voting was carried out in such a way that 
the 50 were reduced to just a few. In the first round each ballot had 5 votes 
to distribute to one to five designs. A second round was called and the vote 
between the top two was close. The PPMC made the final choice. The selected 
design was from a professional shop. They recently helped with round buttons 
for the Flex 360 conference.
