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.
I entirely disagree. I think all Wikimedia logos should conform to a particular theme (stylistic, colour, &c.). It gives Wikimedia a unifying identity ([[corporate identity]]?) and makes our projects quickly recognisable.
Many logos were nominated, some completely different to existing logos, others not. Users chose this one by majority and we should work to preserve this decision (perhaps by minimally modifying the logo to escape the problem and resubmitting it to a vote). --- Oldak Quill (oldakquill@gmail.com)
