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.
