There were 85 voters and the results in order of the options are:

1) 35 Bold UK scaled down to the height of the lower case ubuntu
2) 21 Bold UK with a circular hyphen
3) 10 Normal caps UK scaled down to lower case height, circle of friends
between ubuntu and UK
4) 23 lower case uk
5) 25 lower case uk with short ascender on k
6) 40 lower case uk with ascender of k in line with b and t of ubuntu
7) 48 UK with Union Flag texture. The texture might be repositioned a
bit if this is the winner, probably more like the current logo.
8) 58 full height k with hyphen
9) 20 full size caps UK in the Ubuntu font
10) 8 caps UK, but with the lower case u scaled up to the size of caps
U. This might be redrawn a bit more precisely if it is the winner
11) 37 Waiting for the image on this one, the logo of #8 but with the
round hyphen of #2 and the circle of friends a bit bigger so it lines up
with the top of the k
12) 43 circle of friends between ubuntu and uk

so in order of popularity that is:

8) 58 full height k with hyphen
7) 48 UK with Union Flag texture. The texture might be repositioned a
bit if this is the winner, probably more like the current logo.
12) 43 circle of friends between ubuntu and uk
6) 40 lower case uk with ascender of k in line with b and t of ubuntu
11) 37 Waiting for the image on this one, the logo of #8 but with the
round hyphen of #2 and the circle of friends a bit bigger so it lines up
with the top of the k
1) 35 Bold UK scaled down to the height of the lower case ubuntu

9) 20 full size caps UK in the Ubuntu font
3) 10 Normal caps UK scaled down to lower case height, circle of friends
between ubuntu and UK
10) 8 caps UK, but with the lower case u scaled up to the size of caps
U. This might be redrawn a bit more precisely if it is the winner

Making this the most popular logo option:
http://pollka.libertus.co.uk/pics/full/logo14.svg (don't worry about the
14 in the URL, that means nothing)

I will check we have the right spacing between the k and the circle of
friends (I think it must be half the width of an x or something) and I
think the very top of the b and the k are cut off a bit (should be
sloping), I will fix these and then we can work on getting this approved
by Canonical. If anyone spots anything else in this logo which is
objectively wrong or not allowed in the design guidelines then do shout
sooner rather than later.

Alan.
