Oh okay, happy to hear that. I agree, the font will look good and puts some emphasis on "South Africa". No need to try out the block font then! I also looked around online and we are allowed to use our own versions of the logo. I was initially afraid that we might only be allowed to use the original. Can you please send me the SVG version? I will then implement it on our website. Thanks for the trouble.
Kind regards
Lourie
PS: I have attached a smaller version so that the rest of the people on the list can see how it looks. :)

Re: Wiki Love Monuments ZA Hi Lourie
The font I used for South Africa is the free font, Linux Libertine - which is the Wikipedia font. I also think that if I used the same font as the ones above it would look very blocky and that South Africa would get lost. But I will give it a try.

They look quite nice Isla! The font you used; is it a free font? Also, isn't it maybe possible to use the same font as used for the other text?

Dear all
Have been playing with the WLM logo and wonder what you thought of this one attached.
Let me know.
