I'm with Noble. #1 for me as well for the sake of making a decision
and running with a quality logo sooner rather than later.
ObBiasTransparency: Steve Stedman,the designer of sslogo* submissions,
is a good friend of mine. Awesome dude. He does really nice work.

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:
http://people.apache.org/~ryan/solr-logo-results.html
If we count a vote that came in 12 hours late, the results are quite
different:
http://people.apache.org/~ryan/solr-logo-results-late.html
Using the direct scoring method agreed upon, the logo with the
most points
is:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12394070/sslogo-solr-finder2.0.png
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/12394070/sslogo-solr-finder2.0.png
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12394264/apache_solr_a_red.jpg
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12394266/apache_solr_b_red.jpg
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.
