The submission part of the 99designs.com contest is now over; we ended
up with a whopping 618 submissions (yikes). Now comes the hard part,
picking a winner. :)

Fortunately, a number of people have been following the contest and
providing feedback in the comments area or in #cassandra, and as a
result we've got the list weeded down to the best 48 designs[0].
However, since it's probably not practical to run a vote with more than
say 10 or 15 options, the final ballot will likely be limited to those
entries rated 4 or 5 stars[1].

I'll wait a few days before starting up a vote to give everyone a chance
to weigh-in on what should make the final ballot. Your opinion matters,
so take a look at the contest page and either send me your suggestions,
or bring them up here on the list.

Thanks,
