The logo currently on the [[Wikimedia Pennsylvania]] (either on pa-us or on meta), however we are probably going to need to change this to a new logo (dunno why, but someone suggested it, /me looks accusatively at SB_Johnny).
I presume it's something to do with permission to use WMF's trademarks.
May I suggest using the Wikimedia Community Logo http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Community_Logo.svg, (which is freely licensed, unlike the WMF logo we're using), superimposed with an outline map of Pennsylvania? Someone with more image skills than I should actually whip it up, but it seems fairly simple, iconically, legally, and symbolically.

That's an interesting thought.
For the record, all other chapters are using and were using the Wikimedia logo even prior to formal incorporation of any kind.
I am fine with both uses, ie. either a Wikimedia Pennsylvania logo, wich then has to follow the identity guidelines, or a community logo arranged as you see fit.
One can even be replaced by the other if/when the need/will arises.

This is just to say that lots of the *important* MediaWiki interface text have been created. You should notice the familiar characters box and the like.
If anyone else notices something that they'd like to be fixed, please feel free to suggest it, or if you're an admin, please be bold and do it.
Regarding the logo, discussion should take place in the Pretzel Stand, so that everyone can leave their $0.02.
