Hi all,
[I'm writing this email at my capacity as one of WLM-IR organizers.]
An Iranian designer has created and donated a design for WLM t-shirts that WLM-IR is planning to give to Iran's national winners. The t-shirts will have the donated design in the front (in white and turquoise/blue), and the WLM logo with a phrase such as (Iran's Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, in Persian) in the back.
My question is regarding the WLM logo and the brand. Are there concerns about changing the colors and fillings of the WLM logo which will be printed in the back of the t-shirt (let's say to a design that is all white)? Ideally, I would go with keeping the WLM logo colors untouched, the issue is that the t-shirt can become too colorful with grey, red, and white in the back, and white and blue in the front.
I personally think that we should either not change anything in the logo or agree on some alternative shades of logo that WLM-IR and other WLM organizers can use for these purposes. This way, we all will continue sharing a single brand which is a good practice.
Best, Lily
Hi Lily,
You could have seen WLM logo variatinos with changed colors: * blue logo of *Wiki Loves Monuments Antarctica* 2013 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Antarctica https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Antarctica.svg * green logo of *Wiki takes oberes Murtal* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_Wiki_takes_Oberes_Murtal.svg * yellow logo for the *Wiki Loves Monuments Potsdam-Mittelmark * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Potsdam-Mi...
I guess this means that there is no problem with changing colors. Unless you end up being mistaken for Wiki Loves Monuments Antarctica :) Best, Vira [[user:Ата]]
Hi Vira,
Thanks for your response. Given your response and that no one else has brought up concerns, we will go ahead and use a mono-color logo. I will share it in Commons and on this thread once we have it ready so at least if someone else needs it in the future, we can reuse the same one and create some common patterns of usage for the brand.
Best, Lily

Just to close this thread on my end: I found https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_LOGO_mono.svg recently, so I guess not much extra work on our side was needed to make the logo mono color. :)
Thanks, Lily
