Hmm, I disagree.

If the logo had to be made in POV-Ray it would be limiting.

As vaihtoehto put it:

"why logos(!) should have been created with povray? i recommend that you
march in any professional art studio and say that their artists have to use
a ray-tracing software for creating black and white sketches. i bet you will
be laughed out."

However, I think it would be possible to recreate any black and white logo
in POV-Ray (no guarantee). But it will be hard work, therefore the logo
artists don't have to mess with it themselves.

I'd say simplicity and style in the image only. Some simple and stylistic
logos might require complicated coding (if made with POV-Ray at all).

I know that several of the logos in the old competition were not made with
POV-Ray, and that includes some of the most successful of them IIRC. So
generally I am against, but I would like to hear the opinions of others.

Greetings,
