We are officially starting the process to select new Wikibooks and Wikijunior logos. The pages for these are at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibooks/Logo http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikijunior/Logo
We would like to get input from people in the foundation, as well as people on the Marketing Committee, so that this time the logo selection process goes a little more smoothly then it did last time. We are also trying to start a marketing blitz to attract wikibookians from all language projects (or as many as possible), and we are going to try to attract graphic artists from commons, and possibly some outside artists as well.
Feedback would be certainly appreciated.

Can someone do this for Wiktionary as well?
Wiktionary has it's own logo, a relatively nice one, I thought. Didn't they just select theirs recently?

It has its own logos, but no single one. If you are referring to the scrabble logo, please see the previous thread on the matter. It has been adopted by a few Wiktionaries, but not many, and is in no way is official, since it doesn't even have consensus in the community.

My general feedback, from looking at the vote pages, and from experience of the Wikiversity logo vote would be:
* Clarify whether people are voting for a logo-as-idea or logo-as-specific-variant-of-idea. By this I mean whether a decision will be made on a logo and then a final decision on a colour variant OR whether people will be voting for one variant (ie colour scheme) of the same idea (ie graphical form) in preference over another variant. (In the latter scenario, even having approval voting doesn't always ensure that people will vote for each and every variant they would be happy with - not sure how to deal with this, except to move towards something like the former. There might then have to be a further and final round to decide a specific colour variant.)
* Clarify what the Wikimedia colours (or colour ranges) are that are forbidden. (Also, perhaps it would be good to have some documentation justifying this - I don't think the marketing committee - or board - have a formalised policy on this, but I could be wrong.)
That's pretty much all I can think of for now - all the best with finding a cool logo!
