Designing a logo with a community process is hopeless. The only rational
way of designing a logo is:

  * Evil dictator picks an aribtrary logo.
  * Everybody yells for three month about is ugliness, bad connotations
    and amateurism (if designed by an amateur) or cost (if designed by a
    professional).
  * When the steam runs out the logo is silently accepted and no one thinks
    much more about it.

I don't think we should change this widely accepted and scientific method.
The only problem is that Matz seems to be a *good* dictator.
