Anthere-
Erik, I find 7 days to be a very short time (again, not to insist too much, but school has not restarted yet, many people are still on holidays, sorry Mav :-)). Is there a special reason you chose such a short time ?
We started accepting logos at July 20. The original deadline of August 20 has been extended by one week. We have more than 130 logos. There will be a 10 day period after the first voting round is closed for refining logos. The final voting round will take another 10 days. All in all, the whole thing will be finished by September 25 if we're lucky, which is slightly more than two months of time for getting a new logo. I think this is more than enough time and if someone can't vote in a certain stage because they're not available in that particular week, it is unlikely that this will substantially affect the result. Already we are dealing with hundreds of votes. I know it's exciting and fun, but let's remember every once in a while that we actually would like to arrive at a result, preferably before our massive fundraising campaign begins.
Regards,
Erik
