Oh gawd. Shouldn't WiktionaryZ's logo be similar to that of Wiktionary? Why does:
http://wiktionaryz.org/new_logo
even exist?

BTW, they call the village pump the "International Beer Parlour".

I agree with Delphine here. The one exception I would make is the Commons logo, since it has such a strong connection to Wikimedia as a whole. However, I find the Wikispecies logo disappointingly mundane, and cringed when I saw a "lamp of knowledge" design for Wikiversity in the Wikimedia colors.
Unfortunately, without divine intervention, the trend towards dull logos seems unstoppable. Which will leave us with an inconsistent mess, as usual. ;-)
WiktionaryZ, by the way, has its own unique logo design: http://wiktionaryz.org/
Look, it even has a lens flare effect! ;-)

Hoi, WiktionaryZ is not Wiktionary. It is a different project. The first logo we had had more with Wikidata to do than with WiktionaryZ. So when this proposal was made for a new logo, it was a easily better than the one before. I was amused and touched that someone could come up with the slogan: "WiktionaryZ, light in the darkness". Given that we are pre-alpha and see a light at the end of the tunnel, I thought it was apt for where we are. Our "International Beer Parlour" is called that way because we wanted to emphasise that we ARE international, a beer parlour is certainly a few steps up the ladder from a "kroeg". A kroeg is the name of the place where the Dutch have their palavers. We also have a place where we discuss bugs.. the "Insect room"..
WiktionaryZ is doing really well, it improves visibly, this week alone we have had the first versioning: we now have history with our edits. We have some experimental queries.. We have a new tool that allows bureaucrats to add new languages.. We have added Mandarin, Min Nan, Turkish, Latvian, English (United Kingdom), Persian and some more..
When you want to check WiktionaryZ out, you are welcome at http://wiktionaryz.org.. add your Babel templates, read the articles on the DefinedMeaning and we are happy to give you edit rights.. You can also find us on IRC at #wiktionaryz.
Thanks, GerardM
