Thanks, but please follow the visual guidelines and do not change the
color and shape of Wikimania logo. So

are not appropiate but

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!
