The text looks a bit faded. Other than that, a nice scoreboard style effect. What is the symbolism, though? --Kwekubo
Symbolism...hmm.
Well, the W has an "i" in it, which means "information" or "internet"... the dots of the letterform represent a number of smaller entities that combine to form an overall picture (gestalt, just like the project itself)...blue=calming...typeface of "wikipedia.org" shows authority...adding ".org" shows the address if the site was accessed inside a frame, and also shows the "organisation (non-profit)" side of the project.
All of this was thought of before the design was done, not just a justification of what I thought was an aesthetically pleasing look. Honest. Really.

Actually, I've just noticed what you mean about the faded text...this is not intentional. It might have something to do with the alpha transperancy on the image not being set up correctly. Let me upload it again without transparency. Sorry about that!

I've decided to withdraw this entry on the basis that I no longer believe it represents:
- what the Wikipedia is all about
- what the competition called for
- the best design I could create.
I thought it looked good at the time, and for a different context, it might work well, but not here. I've decided to focus my logo design efforts on my initial attempts here
And to Kwekubo, thanks for your initial feedback.

Out of your mind
Hmm. A momentary lapse of reason on my behalf you think? Okay...it's back in.
I will upload it again with the transparency issue resolved, and I'll start working on some variations... I might even put a third submission in! I've got till Aug 20 to get it right. :)

I very much like the second (the red/white logo) of the two logos; it's very simple and looks sufficiently up-to-date without being tacky.

Some variants. This logo is purely for fun. If it's popular, well, all the better! :) Same justification as above...
and with a ".org" attached... this one's not as clear.
Comments welcome!

I like the red one with the .org, but could the .org be made a bit more readable? It isn't very clear what it says. Angela
Neat idea! マイカル 15:42, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Excellent one ! Variations could be used for almost everything, from asci art, stamp, big advertisement ... :) 80.236.6.233 23:17, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)
This is the most dreadful one.
