Hi.
I am sorry to say that this logo violates the Wikimedia Visual
identity guidelines [1].
On a personal note, I am saddened to see that we don't seem to come up
with any grand ideas, a little fresh and different, for new logos that
are needed. As much as I like the idea behind the logo, I find it
disheartening that people keep adapting the same logos again and
again. For an incubator, this is even sadder.
In any case, before a new logo is used on any of the Wikimedia
projects/websites, it should be approved by the board of the Wikimedia
Foundation.
Cheers,
Delphine

I'm writing on behalf of
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:NielsF, who
created the logo. He wishes to know how to tranfer copyright over to the
Wikimedia Foundation.
What would need to be included in a transferal statement, and where should
it be put?
Probably to permissions(a)wikimedia.org and probably something to the
effect of "I, <name>, permanantly and irrevocably transfer all claims
and copyrights to the Wikimedia Foundation."
Or, I could be completely wrong. Ask Brad :)
