I changed the logo on the main site today, but this was rolled back with
a question of whether it had been approved by Jayantha and User:Wikitanvir.
There has already been a long thread on this where nobody disagreed, and
all said that the spelling errors and mis-reading in Devnagari must be
fixex. I think we should close the discussion and adopt the revised
logos. The full set of logos, banners and icons are uploaded here:
I accept full blame for earlier proposing this flawed design which read
as "chikri" or "vikri", and had an incorrect matra for
"wiki" in
Devnagari. I have worked with the designer to create revised versions
for all our purposes, from banners to icons to conference shwag.
I urge that we adopt these *across* all sites, conference as well as
registration, and on all other banners.
The registration page is still using the old logo (they should replace
it with the banner image above) and the header icon on the conference
page still has the old logo (should be replaced with the icon png above).
I'm not sure who's in-charge of the registration site and the header,
but am happy to work with them to provide graphics based on the revised
logo.
Best,
Shekhar

Hi All,
This discussion should be held in Indian mailing list, because this
mailing is open for few people.
User:Bombayologist is changing the logo without firm open dicussion.

hi,
I am not against changing the current logo because the wording
is technically incorrect and a lot of us did miss it.
However, there should be, I think, a larger pool of options than
2 before we select a new one?
warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

Pradeep,
If it is a technical mistake it is ok to change.
However only for future printing etc.
Given that this event in intended to happen regularly it
helps to fix any glitches.
Regards
Arun

hi,
Just bumping up this email. There seems to have been an
error in the current logo - in terms of spelling and it
appearing differently. Shekhar had asked his friend to
correct the mistake. Question is whether the change in
logo needs to be adopted?
The current logo has already been printed on visiting
cards and letter heads. Do we change the logo now or let
it be?
warm regards,
Pradeep

Dear All:
(Apologies for cross-posting, this thread was earlier
on the Mumbai list
only I think).
In a recent thread on the wikiconference-india list
[1] where 4 people
agreed, as well as 2-3 others off-list, it was decided
to revise the
Devanagari logo for WikiConference [2] to correct its
spelling and make
it more legible.
Arvind Lodaya, the winning logo designer, agreed to
quickly make
changes, which I have uploaded on his behalf on
Commons. See:
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:WikiConference_India_Logo_1.png>http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:WikiConference_India_Logo_1.png
and
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:WikiConference_India_Logo_2.svg>http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:WikiConference_India_Logo_2.svg
These mods correct the maatra and remove the flourish
to make it more
readable by readers of Devnagari. Please vote with +1
or -1 so this may
be approved by Monday 12 September.
Best,
Shekhar
