The logo problem is a little mess-up with council. They chose an image that
didn't exactly adhere to all the rules of the contest. Rather than play the
blame game I decided it would just be much easier for us to pick up the
slack and fix the problem. In retrospect, it's a good thing because this
makes the image more modular, as Donald pointed out.
It all works out for the best :)
