Plus it's horrible. No offence to anyone, the thing already won, so it's 
not a matter of offending the author anymore, but that logo stinks big 
time. If this is democracy in action, imagine running a country this way.

(Before y'all start with me, yes, I had a few logos in the competition 
myself, and mine was obviously not chosen, but I would've been happy if 
we chose the first runner-up, which is not mine either. That would've 
been a logo, and a good one at that IMNSHO. The one we chose is neither 
good, and not even a real logo. It's a coloured puzzle ball for Chrissake!)
