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

That would still be breaking a rule.

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
opinion). We are only interested in potential GOOD logos (naturally), so all
logos should follow the certain requirements that a good logo follows.

Same here. (I'm just discussing, I'm not in my role as organizer.)

Thanks! :-)

Depends on your definition of "undamaged"...

The voters job is to help determine which logo best represents POV-Ray.
The rules exist merely to refine the process of finding the best logo.

I think yours and mine statement does not nessesarily contradict each other.
THE GOAL is to find THE LOGO that best represents POV-Ray.
At first we have all the logos.
Some of the logos does not have potential to be THE LOGO because they don't
follow the requirements (rules) that we (by voting in the newsgroup) have
fixed. Those logos are rejected.
The rest of the logos are those that follow the rules. These are the logos
that we vote about.
In theory the voters judge among all the logos, but in practice we can
filter some of the logos out before the voting, becase they don't follow the
fixed requirements.
However, since the people who make the logos will know the rules, they
probably won't make logos that don't follow the rules, and therefore we
probably won't have to reject any logos at all.
This is how I imagine things to be anyway.
Greetings,
Rune
