Also, I recommend not having a open vote.... I've been burned by this in

happens), and in the end, 'design by open committee' tends to be a lot

Being involved in some community votes for graphics in various projects,
I agree with this: open vote is not a good idea.
IMO, cheating is not the main problem, the problem is voters usually
does not have the knowledge to make a good choice.
We can discuss how wide we want to open the process. We will need to have a
reasonable scope to cover all interests. In addition to the Artwork team, we
should at least include the Distribution team and a small selection from the
Marketing team. Having the Artwork team select the nominees will make the
vote a lot less painful, but closing the vote to just the Artwork team may
leave us with a selection that nobody wants to use.
It is a good solution.
The opposite could be also used: the Artwork team select a few and from
those public vote select one.
But I still think this can be decide just inside the Artwork team.
