What's your intention ?  Pick up a winner, or ending up with an
excellent logo for Povray ?

It could be a jury or some other system, but that's not the point.

We don't need many people to discuss that.  We need a clever discussion,
not a numerous one.

One more time, it's not about winning, it's about getting a good logo.
Once we get the vote results, we'll have a better idea of which logo's
best fulfills the requirements for a Pov-Ray logo.  The discussion
could end up to the enhancement of "enhance-able" logos, and we
could switch to a collective work, based on existing logos, or maybe a
new 
synthesis facilitated by a better understanding of the requirements.

How can you think that a vote can sort the best logo ?  By experience,
voting usually gives a priority to "less disliked" stuff, and passe by
stronger choices... voting is a good indication, but is not sufficient.
