its a logo to show how free and big wikipedia is. its an open book..

I like it! Could you make a variant that we can fit in the top left corner, i.e. about 135/135 pixels?—Eloquence 23:10, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I like it too! But it might convey the idea of collaboration and web nature of the project as well ? Kpjas 08:52, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

  • perhaps a whole flock of birds instead of the lone one? uwe 80.139.10.240 16:19, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I learned something new through this logo: the word cliché is used in the English language as well, meaning overworked, worn-out. Erik Zachte 00:20, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I like this logo, but I have one suggestions: - The blue color is to soft... I would preffer a darker blue, more intense and with less constrast with the black book. In that way it will look integrated, not like now, that the bird seems like not related with the book

Blah. I dunno what all the fuss is about. See http://www.un.org -Stevertigo 19:32, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Here's a small version without text:

Could we not put the small version also to the Vote-page because it is hard to imagin how this big logo will look if it is used in the end as a logo. (or even have only the small one) Fantasy 09:37, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I'm reluctant to do so without the approval of the artist. He might want to design a smaller version himself with some changes to make the logo more recognizable. But if you're bold in updating the page, I won't revert it.—Eloquence 14:32, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Funny, be bold is one of my favorite answers, now I get it ;-) I even thought of doing it myself, but after all this things that have been written/happening on the last votes/changes I am not so sure that I want to get involved in this for now (except the voting itself ;-) Fantasy 18:56, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I really like the book of the logo submision (78). A variation of this logo with the book of the (78) logi (I hope the owner don't bother at this). This could be done with other colors for the bird also (look below for color variariation of the original logo) (Bisho 8 Sep 2003)

Some variations with other colours (a lot of people complained about that) and some versiones with the bird closer to the book. In the original the logo is too spread and it looses some strongness.(Bisho 8 Sep 2003)


Of the eleven finalist, I like this one best. Its simplicity and lack of clutter makes it intuitively understandable and visually appealing. The symbolism is ambiguous (Does it mean release from paper books, freedom through knowledge, peace through knowledge?) and this adds an element of intrege. My prefered colour pallete is the original light blue, and I think the best placement of the bird is to the right (as in the original rendering). user:mydogategodshat

I think this looks too similar to the Christian symbol of the peace dove. Aren't we concerned with that? CGS 22:54, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC).
