Let me get this straight.
Today, the French Wikipedia replaced its official logo with a "logo" made of a bunch of flowers, which you designed, which makes no mention of Wikipedia at all, bears no resemblance to the regular logo, and which commemorates the significant event of "the end of spring."
Shortly after announcing this important event on IRC, you unilaterally remove the logo from the research pages (including [[m:Research]], which is not associated with the Network), and then complain to the mailing list about a voluntary association of individuals designing their own logo for internal use.
Is that about right?
No.
First, it is *I* who changed the logo. Not the french wikipedia. Nor notafish. Notafish was not online when it happened, nor aware this change was planned.
The bunch of flowers notafish designed are flowers from her and I. The central part of it is the very flower I offered to *you* during the logo contest... and which is now the heart of the MediaWiki logo.
It is also the wikithanks stamp used on many projects, in some signatures AND is the little recognition sign for Wikimania.
It does not celebrate only the last day of spring.
It celebrates wikilove. A gesture of friendship between two friends. A gesture of peace between two ennemies. It comes jointly with an article on civility.
It also represent the diversity (diversity of flowers from several countries and two authors) as well as collaboration.

Now, as for the second part of your comment, there is no relationship between the french logo and the research team logo. And I might dare remember this is not the first comment made against it. It was already suggested this logo was possibly inappropriate just after you crafted it.
Please, do not spoil the wikilove of the french logo today, which is opposed by no french whatsoever because many understand its significance. These two things, our logo and your logo, have nothing in common. And they should not be mixed.
Thanks.
