Chris, I’m honestly a bit surprised by how many of the final entires are variations of the symmetry of d/p, and how many are abstract designs that do little to indicate “portability” or “convey the concept of moving/owning/syncing data”. I’m certainly not an expert, but I’m surprised by their final choices. (And no, this isn’t sour grapes for mine not making it, though I was disappointed.

That shortlist is mostly terrible. There are several logos that are far better in the original pool.

Wow.. ok, in that case understood. Nice bit of irony there, Microsoft joining DP and RedHat sending cease and desist letters.

Will go vote now.

Sorry man, but I like the existing one. You should at least add it to the possibilities.
