<html><head></head><body><div dir="auto">Hello Paul,<br><br>Could you explain why there is no option for the current Plasma logo? I would like to vote for keeping the existing logo, as I prefer it to the options listed in the poll. Shouldn't Plasma developers be able to see how the votes for the new logos compare to the current one, to make an informed decision?<br><br>Not voting at all is not a solution because it is ambiguous: it could be interpreted as not caring or supporting whichever new logo that poll ends up "electing". "Non-bindingness" is also not an answer, because the developers will feel pressured by the community to comply with the poll results, even though they will be incomplete.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Ilya</div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto">On 5 December 2023 21:17:53 CET, Paul Brown <paul.brown@kde.org> wrote:</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
