In that case, why isn't the number of votes for each logo identical - a 
requirement for average voting to work. The winner received more votes 
than many other logos, meaning that others received a number of "zero" 
votes, effectively pulling down their averages. I voted "1" for the winner 
because I understood that to be the lowest vote allowed.
