But point 1 is a rule. Normally you have to follow rules even if you don't
agree with them.

That would be saying: "We have made some specific rules for this contest,
but it is ok not to follow them." That doesn't make sense I think.

The voters' job is to judge among the logos that follow the rules of the
contest.

According to the rules the b/w version IS important.

Because a good logo has certain qualities that can not be discussed (in my
