(as
an example) on

planed to allow to vote on all those variant ?
This is not my decision, it is the artist's decision. He/she can choose up
to 5 versions of each logo. But it would be unfair if anyone could simply
bypass the first voting round and put anything they want on the final,
limited ballot. Miwiki is among the finalists anyway -- if Olie wants
Miwiki to be part of *other* logos than his own, he needs to convince the
artists. Olie has made clear that this is OK with him, so I don't see a
problem.
I didn't speak about submit whatever people want, but just propose
alternative logo based on elected concept.
I just regret
that the rules
was not cleary defined before vote start
That's simply not true. The voting rules have all been on [[International
logo vote]] before the vote started. I have been careful not to change any
rules during voting.
I don't specially like to be treat as lier especially when I'm not ;o)
When the vote begun, the rules of the second round didn't allowed variants.
This (good) rule was add by you the 6th of september at 12:55 (to be
precise).

Imho, 4 variants is verry few, but perhaps no much varants may be produce
until the deadline so it's not a problem.
and deadlines
are so short.
Honestly, I don't think they are short. Just think about all the
complaining you could do before the deadline even has elapsed! That alone
shows it's long enough ;). As I said earlier: We can always work on
optimizing the final logo.
Sure I had better to work hard on logo variants instead of speaking in the
wind :o)
But I didn't wanted to work on something I may be unable to submit, so I
waited to much...
In fact, Olie kindly released my idea that I will put on my own page over
the logo :op
> I don't undertand why the fact Olie tryed to
make variant of all logo
with
his ant is a
problem.
Some people perceive it as such. This has more to do with the logo/mascot
distinction than with the contest as such. But if the artists accept the
Miwiki variants, then they will be voted on like all other logos. For
example, Paullusmagnus has accepted one Miwiki variant.
Paullus seem open to alternative idea. It's nice.
Hope to see 5 variants of his logo.
