Yes, I am. Beyond the two artists I saw entering, the public response (what little there was) was negative. I saw several initial retweets, but a retweet is not an indication of support.
SmackJackal did post a tweet (that I just found) saying that the contest was "getting pretty good response so far". However, he is a board member, and the tweet - which linked to the website - was likely intended to drum up entries. The extension of the contest suggests they did not receive sufficient good entries by the initial deadline.
Chiaroscuro's comment does support the refresh, but was made after publication; he likely found out about it via FNN's repost of this story. Personally, I agree that the current logo could do with improvement; I may even enter myself.
