If we must vote for a final logo (no change after vote) I think we really
need a lot of variants and I think 1 week is very short to be able to create
all them. One more time, I think we had better to ask artist themselves.
They are better judge to decide when they will be able to submit all
variants they want.



To reduce variant in this round, can we imagine being able to propose minor
variants after the final logo will be decided? That include only:

* Colors change

* Text font

* Object placement (ex : Wikipedia up or down)
