Wikimania Hong Kong and DC, I wasn't present in person, but only saw the official Wikimania logo used. The banners have different styles representing the place of event and culture, but the logo remained.

I'm not against the London logo. I personally think it looks much nicer than the official one. Frankly, the official one looks like errrm...

Waiting to see what design Mexico brings on board next year.

I just felt the official logo has been sidetracked in the London event. If the Wikimania global team finds the sidetrack of the official logo fun and acceptable, then I guess I'm also good. Just wondering before when there'll be 50 derivatives and the original gets lost in the dust.

I think branding-wise he did an astonishingly good job keeping everything consistent - this includes the WikiProject leaflets, the shirts, posters, main stage slide branding, YouTube pre-rolls… just great. Kudos.
