Hi.
I am sorry to say that this logo violates the Wikimedia Visual identity guidelines [1].
On a personal note, I am saddened to see that we don't seem to come up with any grand ideas, a little fresh and different, for new logos that are needed. As much as I like the idea behind the logo, I find it disheartening that people keep adapting the same logos again and again. For an incubator, this is even sadder.
In any case, before a new logo is used on any of the Wikimedia projects/websites, it should be approved by the board of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Cheers,
Delphine [1] http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_visual_identity_guidelines

After nearly a month of voting, the logo has been chosen for Wikimedia Incubator (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Incubator/logo).
I'm writing on behalf of http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:NielsF, who created the logo. He wishes to know how to tranfer copyright over to the Wikimedia Foundation.
What would need to be included in a transferal statement, and where should it be put?
Probably to permissions@wikimedia.org and probably something to the effect of "I, <name>, permanantly and irrevocably transfer all claims and copyrights to the Wikimedia Foundation."
Or, I could be completely wrong. Ask Brad :)
