Ulrich-
The way how logos were submitted was ridiculous - in any size, in any format.
Wrong. The international logo contest contained clear rules on both size and format. These rules were violated by some submissions, but it would have been unfair to just throw these logos out, as simple modifications like transparency, format etc. can be made (and have been made) later.
The way they were presented even more (basically that already was a preselection).
The logos were ranked by the number of votes from the first voting round. What alternative do you suggest?
THe way the rules were changed some time during the whole process
They weren't.
The way the final voting was done was the most ridiculous thing at all, because there were'nt just 11 candidates (as they were supposed to be left from the first round), there were about 35,
It was always made clear that you would be able to vote on all variants in the final vote.
So the "type 2" logos got round the bout 2500 points in total,
The total points are irrelevant. The logos were ranked by the average score, it doesn't matter at all how many people voted on each logo because the score is the sum divided by the number of voters *for that variant*.
