Wikipedia's logo is quite distinctive, changing that would probably be a step backwards. But Monobook could do with a change.
Our logo is an INCREDIBLY powerful brand. I hope we can start selling 3-D puzzle globe keyrings soon ...
I like Monobook a lot, actually. I used Classic before, but I think Monobook is fundamentally well-designed. Flashy is not a virtue.
Monobook looks clean, sensible, clear. It's perhaps one of the biggest things that got us where we are today - it *makes the content look reliable*. It has astonishing levels of recognition (you'd be amazed how many people think any random mediawiki install belongs to us, "because it looks the same" - monobook default)
Tweak - sure. itwp has a nice subtly different colour scheme going on, I believe, that sort of thing is worth playing with. But throw it out and start again? You'll confuse a lot of people.
