FWIW, I announced this contest on  a mailing list for Web designers and 
developers in the Phoenix, AZ, area.  I did not see any reaction, and 
have no idea if anyone bothered to submit anything. Too bad.

It may be trickier than imagined to rouse interest and get folks 
motivated; some Rails-style hype would have come in handy for this.

There was much more interest when the ruby-lang.org redesign was 
underway.  Many of the logos produced for that project would make better 
choices.
