Our choice might not look reasonable for all of you, but you have to keep in mind that the logo should fit perfectly to our color scheme and our site layout. We had to create many screenshots with different logo variation and check, whether the look we get is optimal. Not every beautiful logo we liked first passed this test, so only “bulletproof” logos remained It was a tough decision to choose 5 best logos from over 190 sketches.

I mean he admits he totally screwed up and then assumes that he should be forgiven???? We can't assume that he won't make similar future mistakes, as his record is so replete with too many examples. This confession needs to be taken at face value, as evidence he cannot do the job!!! So why is he still the AG????

Is he actually saying he made mistakes and is sorry, or is he doing the typical Bush apology (tm)? It is one thing to say "I have made some serious mistakes and I am sorry." It is another thing altogether to say "I am sorry that people feel we made mistakes. In so far as we believe we've done things incorrectly, we are sorry."
