Does this mean that everyone is happy with the 11 candidate logos?

We'll need to start a vote soon (there are time limits imposed by
99designs for awarding the payout).

The only 3 star that I would perhaps like to see promoted in the final
vote is #576. It's really grown on me, I think it has elements of both
the mythology and the columns up top are kind of significant in a
number of ways. They kind of look like server racks, column oriented
database and greek in their design.

Anyways, other than that I think there's a good selection to fit a
diverse community. Now lets just hope there is a clear winner. :)

Thanks for your work on this Eric.
