From: "Richard Grevers" <lists(a)dramatic.co.nz>
The point that a jigsaw puzzle is a closed, finite
system, unlike
Wikipedia which I see as an open, infinite system, or the point that a
jigsaw is worked on, enjoys a brief moment of "perfection" and is then
destroyed?
Those are the conceptual reasons I think the puzzle globe is bad -
negative symbolism.
I definitely agree. It would be
better to change the concept
into something alive, like a
"tree" with branches, and leaves,
at least it would be something
alive, except so many other
logos already use this "knowledge
tree" concept that it has been
overworked. Like the puzzle
concept, which is in use by
Microsoft Office suite, it's old
and moldy cheese and we need
to find new cheese.
Sincerely,
