I don't see any problems here. If you put the two images next to one
another, it is very clear that they are related.

just for the record: every year, the logo and thematic layout of the
conference is
changed.
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 remember Buenos Aires gave a latin sauce on it
and hong kong had more
an asian thing (albeit less than taiwan).
The concepts are the same, the way it's worked out differs. Nothing
special
here :) Some will like it, some will not.
Best,

Kudos.
