Okay, I'm probably being an idiot, but where are the designs?  I found the
contest announcement, but I haven't been able to find a link to the logos
submitted, nor to anything about voting.

I would have submitted a design, but I didn't get the announcement until the May
17th mailing, and I didn't have time to do it after that.  I feel strongly that
ArkLinux should be a penguin in an ark (a la Noah).  That's what I thought of
when I first saw the name "ArkLinux," and that's what I assumed the developers
meant it to be:  a rescue for those lost in the flood of Linux.  I love Linux
and have devoted many hours to learning it, but I still spend a lot of time
confused because I can't figure out how to do something.  ArkLinux is the best
I've found at minimizing my confusion.  None of the logos I have seen (by
looking at individual posts on this newsgroup) have had any references to the
word "ark," which is okay, but I think it would be better if the logo and the
name were related.
