Yes, I agree with this. If anything, bringing too much democracy 
into a design process makes things bloated and inconsistent. 
Walter has probably been too accepting of suggestions to new 
features in the past. But if someone steps up as a committed 
graphic designer it would be a good idea to give that person free 
hands. That's very motivating.

Meritocracy is not a horrible concept though. Implementing bad 
ideas and refusing good ideas based on who suggested it is just 
dumb. You need a lead designer that plots out what needs to be 
done and brings it all together as a whole.

That said, it would be downright silly to not accept the two 
bottom logos ;-).
