I understand that there are complaints that new logo
has elements too
closely resembling Scrabble pieces, or are otherwise too cartooned to
some. The "new" logo does maintain some visual identity as a project
logo, while the "classic" logo isn't really a logo at all, and
diverges wildly from project to project. Of the top ten Wiktionary
projects, four of them use the new version, while 6 of them use some
variation of the classic version:
I agree 100% that there should be a common brand to all Wiktionary projects.
I also understand why the majority of them haven't adopted the proposed logo.
I'm glad that this has been brought to Foundation-l, and
wholeheartedly support a reconsideration of this decision with a
broader audience—after all, a project's logo affects the overall
Wikimedia brand identity, not just those closely involved with that
project.
For my money, by the way, I think we should start over.
