How observant of you :-) (<- this is meant to be a very friendly and cheerful irony)
Logo 138 (or rather logoS 138) were added after the deadline, hence were removed by our foreman (err...the organizer in case this word hold meanings I am not aware of).
One of the logo 138 had the same name than another, hence it replaced it. The previous saved state was restored.
Logos 138 were kat-related logo. Very nice artwork, but I fear they would not have been fit as logos anyway, so it is sad for the author, but won't impact the final choice.

I take the opportunity to report - as an ambassador - the displeasure of some author, who feel there is applied pressure to direct their creativity to another direction than is their wish, and officially ask me to help him as my english ability is better than his. (<- this is a neutral report)
In my opinion, any logo proposition and any logo versioning is a "free-of-choice" work, and "free-to-display" work (except for sex-race-color-political-religion related works perhaps, though this might be controversial), and any pressure on authors is out of bounds. Please. Thanks. (<- This is a personal opinion. Please and thanks mean please and thanks, and this part of my message is not for you Tillwe dear :-))
My understanding is that artists are/were welcome to submit any logo they wanted, and then everyone--including artists--are encouraged to vote for logos we think are appropriate.
I'm not sure I understand the complaint.
