I don't think this is rushed -- we've been considering this logo and its variants for some time, several variants have been proposed, and these two have remained clearly above the pack. That's a good thing -- it means we're narrowing down our collective preferences. Honestly we could deliberate & come up with minor variations forever, but after a point we start to see diminishing returns. For me, now is a natural point to make a decision about the two frontrunners from the past week.



I would also like to make it clear that there are a number of voices in the community who are calling for the logo to be finalised, so I'm considering their opinions alongside the ones being expressed here. I've given the discussion more time than I expected we'd need, so that was a compromise to allow a bit extra time to see if any other strong design variants came out.



If someone submits something to the level of quality of these two before the vote is closed, I'll consider calling a revote, but it's going to really have to stand out. A non-binary vote is really not ideal.
