Everyone seems to assume donating the whole thing to the Foundation is a bad thing where everybody loses. Why is that?
Some of us mentioned earlier it might be a good idea to reboot the contest, donate the 120k quark to the Foundation and let the Foundation manage the contest in a FAIR way.
The 120k should be reserved exclusively for the logo/branding contest and the logo would be officially accepted by the Foundation.
The only thing that worries me is the fact that it is pretty difficult now to vote neutrally.
Donating to the foundation is a joke. This was a contest, not free design work for the Quark Foundation. Then again why would I expect you to respect anyone's work, you already proved that you don't.
