This is the final round to decide the Florida Drupal User's Group logo. Once the decision is made, we'll be using some of the surplus money from Florida DrupalCamp to create stickers and other swag that we'll share with the various meetups around the state.
slogan?
I think we need a slogan to go along with the logo?? Florida Drupal ...

I threw out "Dive into Drupal" which works when marketed towards new folks.
This one is for the newbs too "Don't dive solo, join DrupalFL."
But what about something bada**? Off the top of my head:
We're in deep.
We don't crack under pressure.
Software Submariners.
Stand back or we'll harpoon your a**. (just had to)
Wanna see our Drupal aqua-lung?
We rarely come up for air. (i like this one, sometimes this is exactly how I feel)
I really think the diver, water stuff works well, not only for Florida, but for Drupal in general. It goes well with the drupal drop, since a drop is water. Its up there with Acquia, while being different and its own thing.
One last thing, when we go to Drupalcon Portland 2013 we should bring a wetsuit, mask and gear and wear it out, as a group, to one of the parties. Sure would make a statement and create buzz. Might want to leave the harpoon behind though.
I'm really excited about this guys. Catch ya on the flip side ya'll.

Florida drupal logo?
Mike - Divers? What happened to the usual oranges and palm trees? Why not a jumping marlin or a politician with his hand out?
Robertson, Did you miss the
Robertson,
Did you miss the initial poll? Its closed now, but you can see the options at http://groups.drupal.org/node/231753
This is a run-off poll.
That being said, a crooked politician would be awesome!

Mike, can you verify that i voted? I don't remember doing it for round 2, but all I see are results.
JCL
nope
I don't have access to who voted - sorry...
It looks like the poll closed after 2 weeks
It looks like the poll closed after 2 weeks and the Drupal Diver won by one vote.
Mike A: Correct me if I'm wrong...

Next steps?
As @mherchel says, the voting is now closed and it appears that the Drupal Diver has won by a single vote!
I must say that it's a bit disappointing that we had only 21 votes cast - after the several hundred comments we had during the initial discussion.
So, the question is - what do we do now? Do we call it a day and now have an official logo? Do we want to reopen the voting for a longer period of time?
Thoughts?

I'd say lets call it a day
I'd say lets call it a day even though I'm not sure I voted or not. I didn't know polls could auto close? Yes we had hundreds of comments but mostly from the same group of people and 21 sounds about right.

Yeah... I'm kinda surprised
Yeah... I'm kinda surprised that we didn't get more votes.
But, there's no saying that we'll get more if we do it again. We publicized it as much as we could.
What now? shirts? website? stickers? fake tattoos?

whats next
The hell with mouse pads and yo-yos. Air Tanks. Fins. Dive Knives. Water skis.
Just saying.
I like your style! How about
I like your style!
How about a FL Drupal Spearfish gun! :)

Next Step
As the designer of the Drupal Diver I am proud and humble to see that my design won the vote. Thank you to everyone that voted in this process. I am committed to taking this design and developing a brand around it for the Florida Drupal community.
You can expect to see some cool designs for shirts, website, stickers, harpoons, airtanks, battleships and more in the future.
@ultimike - would you mind chiming in on what you think the next step should be? Should we start with shirts and stickers?

Its already been decided. We need Drupal Diver spearfish guns. We're going to get a community cultivation grant. Get started. Now.

Come on in, the water's fine!
Just stopped by to put in my vote and did not even notice the poll-vote close date. Shame on me...anyway, congrats to Dustin for the recognition and having his work put out there. If you need any help with graphics or branding, please feel free to contact me.
I would recommend getting stickers printed up as they are less expensive than t-shirts and always end up as part of the swag bag. I really like the 'Dive into Drupal' tag, works with the concept. Plus you can't impale your brain with a sticker, I think...
