As for the joys of graphic design competitions
around Wikimedia, I
commend to you the following page, which explains in pictures why
graphic designers are paid money:

I propose we change our logo to this one:

Or, if that one's too gay, maybe this one:

That Einstein one... kinda hurts to look at. It's not professional and
doesn't lend itself well to a serious mission. The rainbow one isn't
bad,
but it's dated. Reminds me of several
1980's era tech companies. I
wouldn't
be adverse to changing the logo, but neither of
the ones you've put
forward
would be acceptable.

I suspect that Mark was being less than entirely serious. Given it's
current recognition I doubt the wikipedia logo will be going anywhere
any time soon. Other logos are probably more open to changes.
