Hoss may lay down the rules on us, but if he doesn't (or if hes in a
good mood today), +1 on the runoff vote.

We have discussed with the apache PRC (public relations committee),
and they agree that the top choice in the logo contest should be
disqualified for its similarity to the solaris logo.
Given the rules agreed upon in
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LogoContest, the next step is for Solr
committers to use the results of the community poll to decide what the
official logo should be.
I posted the results here:

If we count a vote that came in 12 hours late, the results are quite
different:

Using the direct scoring method agreed upon, the logo with the most
points is:

However, it is tough to gauge the real intent/preference since the
vote totals are so low.
I see two options:
1. Have solr committers vote to accept:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12394070/sslogo-solr-finder2.0.png
2. Have a 'runoff' poll with the top contenders:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12394268/apache_solr_c_red.jpg
Following the rules strictly points to option #1, but I think option
#2 may better reflect the original intent of the community poll.
Personally, I am happy with any of these options (and logos); I just
want to make sure we have a process that everyone feels is/was fair.
