I think that is a good idea! As a submitter: please don't be afraid to 
ask questions.

However: I think a more problematic matter is the similarity between the 
submissions and other
projects logos. Having some sort of overview for the voters of similar 
logos to the ones submitted.
This might prevent conflicts with other projects and clarifies 
associations (it might be funny if the chosen
logo was similar to a condom logo or so). Just a suggestion.

yours
Martin.,
