Heh, thanks. Those files are all editable in Illustrator, if anyone wants to have a go.
Here's my first shot at revising the text:
"Wikimania is an annual community event open to scientists and the public. Wikimania is hosted by Wikimedia, the organization behind Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and other free projects.
Wikimania will explore the form and future of free knowledge, free content, and free culture."
If nobody sees problems, I'll update the posters. (Otherwise, other people should hash out the specifics since I don't know that much about this year's Wikimania.)
Cheers

I redid a couple of the posters from last year (they were made too late to be used for publicity, but I think it's early enough this year).
Thanks, but please follow the visual guidelines and do not change the color and shape of Wikimania logo. So

are not appropiate but
http://benyates.info/WMPosters/Wikimania%20poster%20plain.pdf
is ok. You can add some colors, borders etc but not the the name "Wikimania" and not to the logo.
Heh. You know Ben designed the logo in the first place, right? So I suppose he can redesign it if he chooses... those posters are based on some of the possible mockups from last year. The text is partly based on last year's CfP and other materials; it should be reworked for this year's conference to reflect this year's different CfP.
If the conference is really only going with the original logo with one set of colors, that should be made clear for all the designers. I didn't think there had really been any consensus over whether that logo should be the "official" logo for Wikimania (now and in the future), or whether there can be variations in color, etc. My only opinion is that I like Ben's posters!
cheers, phoebe
