The Week of the Logo: Day 4 Update, in which we address recent comments

Thanks again for all of your feedback. As of this post, a whopping 87% of voters chose concept B. And with a sample size of 113, I’m inclined to believe that this is statistically significant. If you haven’t voted yet, be sure to do so. Interestingly enough, most of the comments seem to be votes [...]
