With so many candidates, I think a two-stage process would be helpful.  For
example, what if a variant of a logo I liked ended up being popular, but I
missed that one and didn't rank it (not unreasonable, there are a hundred
logos).  After the top candidates have been selected, I will surely notice
it up there.

Of course, introducing multi-stage voting breaks some of the properties we'd
like a voting system to have.  But, alas, you (provably) can't have it all
:-)
