There was a survey on Wikimedia branding (including branding of its projects) in Wikimania 2016. I was reading the results and I found it fascinating that Wikidata logo is liked the most between community people.
Notes: "The barcode is great" "It is quite clever, It spells wiki in Morse code" (I didn't know that. I checked it and it's true. WOW) "In terms of semantics, It's perfect. The color, font, barcode" "It is simple and obvious"

\o/ That logo btw is another big proof that this community is awesome and can be trusted. There were quite a few skeptics back then saying that opening up the design and then voting on the logo of what was supposed to become one of the most important Wikimedia projects wasn't a terribly brilliant idea by Denny and me. Especially as the project was so young. (And I have to confess I had a few sleepless nights as well back then :D) But it turned out really well. I love all the things people have done with it for the Wikiprojects too: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikidata_WikiProjects
