[ppy] great! (04)

[ppy] since YuriyMilov made his final submission in only one color,
maybe we (as a community) can do it in two steps - choose the graphic
design first, and then deliberate on the color(s). (06)

[ppy] great! ... this makes good prose to go with your final design submission. (08)

[ppy] I am referring to a design that is rendered in 1-bit color
depth (say, just black-and-white, no greyscale even). (010)

[ppy] Indeed! Since Yuri's final submission is in line art, if you
can also send a line art version of your final design submission, we
can (maybe) vote on the graphics without color first (as I suggested
above). That said, this is totally your call as to what you decide to
finally send in. (012)
... in parallel, I will work on posting your final submissions to the
wiki page ( http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR_Logo_Candidates
) and put together the online form (on surveymonkey) for folks to make
their choices with. (013)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
