One problem here is that I think the error message is for all
Wikimedia projects. Scattered puzzle pieces of a globe is fine for
Wikipedia.

Perhaps Wikibooks could have pages being torn out of a book.

Wikisource could have an iceberg melting into the sea.

Wikiversity could have the pillars of the academy tumbling down and
the world falling down from suspension.

For Wikispecies, the DNA coils unfolded.

Wiktionary? The word Wiktionary with the label "a currently-offline
wiki-based Open Content dictionary"

Commons could have the arrows pointing all over the place.

As for Wikinews? Well, duh, that should tell you that the site is
offline as a breaking news headline.
