...so, what's going on?  Forgive me for not following the recent story so
closely, but I thought Rune had held a competition, which had decided upon
an official POV logo.  Now, it seems everyone has forgone the competition's
results and are making their own...  Was everyone so dissatisfied with the
results of the logo competition that the official logo is still in limbo?

When the earlier competition was held there was no implied interest
by the POV-Team one way or another regarding an official logo. Since
then the POV-Team has agreed to take an interest in the competition
and if they find one they like they are willing to adopt it as their
own. There was also some arguement as to whether there were enough
logos to make a choice from and if any of them truly represented
a good logo for POV-Ray. It was therefore decided to scrap the previous
competition and start anew. Those logos from the original may be
resubmitted but there may well be new rules in place for the new
competition giving artists greater leeway than the previous round.
