This seems to be a re-occurring misunderstanding. The 30 logos are not candidates. They are not potential logos. They are "our way of having some fun while honoring the legacy of our present logo" [1] and were used to get people used to the idea of change. There were horrible logos in there - pretty sure the people making them even knew that. The new logo, as it will be revealed tonight at midnight EST, will be the actual logo - everything else was tongue in cheek. It has people talking about Yahoo. It has people wondering what the actual new logo will be.

The Survata survey is a third party company making statistics for something that will give them self promotion - nothing wrong with that, but that is what it is.
