Well, I've screwed up the logo contest!
One of the logos does not meet one of the contest requirements, and I should have rejected it. I didn't notice it until a moment ago when I was getting ready to post all the logos with the poll results when the poll closes in a couple hours. While the particular rule is somewhat minor, all the other entrants were obviously careful to adhere to it.
I'm trying to decide how to handle it. In the event the errant logo wins, I could do any of the following:
Let it slide, which isn't particularly fair to the other entrants
Disqualify that logo and award the win to the 2nd place logo
Disqualify that logo and rerun the vote
Ask the entrant to modify the logo (if necessary)
I'm leaving the vote open until I have a solution to this.
Your thoughts appreciated!
