Thanks for all the input!
One thing I would like to keep in mind is that Wikidata is meant to be easy and welcoming for a wide audience. As a computer scientist, I understand and appreciate imagery like a steel database cylinder, but I think it could look a bit technocratic to "normal" people. I don't have concrete proposals, but I would find it amazing if the logo could have a human touch to it.
One idea maybe: many people will know the Unilever logo [1] (a U made of a variety of objects). There are various logos in similar style (see also the "earth" category at logotrends 2011 [2]). Maybe something like this would be suitable for us, to show that Wikidata is about a wide range of topics and people. But making such a logo is a bit of work.
Cheers,
Markus
