FYI, that lovely logo was designed by Ben Yates (tlogmer) for Wikimania 2006, and the red and blue colors were chosen for 2006 out of a whole spectrum of possibilities. AFAIK there's not been talk of making it "the official logo" for future Wikimanias, though there's no reason why it couldn't be -- it seemed to print and scale quite well, and I heard quite a bit of unsolicited praise for it :)

Excuse me. Could you clarify what is the "logo from the Torino's bid" you mentioned? Do you mean the WM with a green W and red M on the left-under corner of Torino's banner?
