Right now, anyone can vote under an ip, anyone can vote without anyone knowing them, anyone can replace the logo of someone else by his, in particular in the top 10. And perhaps a logo which was in the top 10 before being replaced by another won't be in the top 10 anymore, just because someone had fun replacing that top 10 logo.
Has this actually happened? Has someone removed a logo from the top 10 and replaced it with another? That's pure and simple vandalism of the worst sort.
As for voting under ips or votes from people "we" don't all know, how significant are the numbers? Is there really any reason to think that anyone is stuffing the ballot box?
Choosing the top ten for the short list was based on an arbitrary number. If 10th and 11th place are close in votes why not include the 11th? If the occasional bit of improper voting happens, it is then marginalized. It would take massive vote fraud to make a difference. I prefer marginalizing the casual cheater to spending enormous energy developing elaborate systems to catch them.
As for what to do with the short list (which also includes candidates with multiple variants) perhaps they should be first reviewed for technical workability. Some of the high vote getters strike me as very complicated designs that may not scale down very well for low-resolution situations.
