That's my impression too, though it seems like the winner will be logo 6 or
logo 11.

A second voting is performed (and a third, and a fourth...), but people
doesn't have to vote again.
That's the whole point with this priority system.

Let me try to explain how the winner is chosen:

There are several "rounds".

In the first round we only look at people's first priorities when we count
the votes.
The logo(s) with the fewest votes are excluded from the next round.

In round two the first priorities are counted again, but for those people
who have their first priority set to one of the logos that have been
excluded, the next priority is the one that counts.
Again, the logos with the fewest votes are excluded from the next round.

Keep doing rounds until all logos but one is excluded. That's it.

What happens is that the votes goes from being distributed between many
different logos to being distributed between fewer and fewer logos until all
the votes are for the same logo. Of course some votes are "lost" in the
process because not all people specify all priorities.

It works the same way as if several votings had been made, except that
people need only to vote once, because they specify all their priorities at
once.

I hope this explanation is good enough.

Greetings,

Rune
