I would tend to see a different cause and effect pattern to this. The logo, 
when it was voted on originally, had been created by the artist using WMF 
colors. If it had been known at the beginning that the WMF colors were 
unacceptable, the artist would not have chosen those colors for his design, 
the voting process would have proceeded as was stated in the "rules" of the 
discussion, and we would have a logo right now. If the discussion has 
stalled, It's not because people are trying to make a logo that is a 
derivative of the WMF logo, it's because the process has hit a bump and 
nobody stepped up to clarify what to do next. This is precisely why I want 
to talk to you, Anthere, on this mailing list about this subject: because 
you are an authority figure who could step in and say "this is what we do 
now", even if that something is as simple as another round of votes.
