Yes, that is true. The first round voting was carried out in such a way =
that the 50 were reduced to just a few. In the first round each ballot =
had 5 votes to distribute to one to five designs. A second round was =
called and the vote between the top two was close. The PPMC made the =
final choice. The selected design was from a professional shop. They =
recently helped with round buttons for the Flex 360 conference.
