I agree...

semi-rant warning:
This whole badge/logo business seems to me to be an excellent example of Parkinson's law of triviality (choosing the colour of the bikeshed). We have a large (too large) number of variations on relatively few themes and a really sophisticated voting system, but no very clear idea of what they're for and no explanation (such as my "of type Haskell" above) of why the candidates are the way they are.
I didn't join in much to the earlier discussion because I thought things would work out to something sensible in the end, but it doesn't look like that happened. Work out what the problem is before putting the solution up for election!
I agree with this. I have voted, but as with many others I found the process very cumbersome, and I don't think it really expresses my opinions properly. I'm concerned that this process may well end up producing a outcome that's worse than the current situation but will have some aura of legitimacy because of the vote.
I totally agree. I haven't voted, because if I had an hour to spare I'd much rather spend the time actually writing Haskell. I can't rank 100's of logos, realistically anything more than about 10 and I don't have a chance of even figuring out which is my favourite.
Thanks
