Right, what i meant was not all, but rather the ones which i thought
could be used as logos.

And include this one as well with the brush:

The issue those icons have is they seem to symbolize an /edit/ action,
like 'draw' or 'edit' . 
Checkout the launchpad's edit icon, it's very close to the brush. I dont
see how those relates to a *team's* logo. 

It's like just using a '?' in a dot for a 'Support team' .

I'm not even sure if anyone would relate the icon to artwork/freedom.
But, i do like the thought process that lead to the logo. Hope it meant
more about freedom than a mechanical fan, which I dont seem to relate to
freedom.

Replace it? when? ;) 
If we decide to change to a 'design' team, all the work folks have done
will be in vain. It wont even be used for 2-3months.
If everyone feels OK with changing a logo in just such a short period,
we should make it clearer for people that their work might be replaced.

And my concern was more about *closing* the submissions and finalizing,
rather than about accepting submissions.
