Yes, I agree with this. If anything, bringing too much democracy into a design process makes things bloated and inconsistent. Walter has probably been too accepting of suggestions to new features in the past. But if someone steps up as a committed graphic designer it would be a good idea to give that person free hands. That's very motivating.
Meritocracy is not a horrible concept though. Implementing bad ideas and refusing good ideas based on who suggested it is just dumb. You need a lead designer that plots out what needs to be done and brings it all together as a whole.
That said, it would be downright silly to not accept the two bottom logos ;-).
