The current logo doesn't has nothing wrong. It's just that everything evolves.

In addition, there are some basic design issues, like unnecessary
bevel and relief, Conceptually Q and arrow are too simplistic and
color selection is mild, IMHO.

Change is -good-, try searching "logo evolution" on Google images to
see several examples of logo changes through time.

I think a logo contest is a great opportunity to promote and
disseminate Quantum GIS. But I do not recommend in any case that the
winner will be determined by vote, because it becomes a popularity
contest. Use a jury of -designers- to get optimal outcomes..
