Re: [Wikipedia-l] Ec's modifications

After reading more about this subject than I care to, and not being particularly enthusiastic about the results, I do want to make a suggestion. 1. Use the puzzle piece logo (with modifications) as the logo for Wikimedia. a. Get rid of the meaningless text from the surface of the globe. b. In each pussle piece include the 2-letter ISO639-1 code for some language, oriented to conform with the position of that piece on the globe. These letters can be omitted from scaled down versions of the logo. c. The centre puzzle piece should preferably be blank to generically represent all the non-Wikipedia projects. The worst thing you could put in the centre piece would be "en" 2. Each project could design its own logo, use the one it already has or use a temporary generic logo while it is designing its own. a. A key required element of each logo would be a single puzzle peice. It would be up to the participants of that project to determine how that puzzle piece would be worked into aesthetic conformity with the existing design. b. The puzzle piece would either be blank or contain the 2-letter code for that language. 3. The underlying concept is that Wikimedia brings together the diverse puzzle pieces to form a single world. Each project is one piece of that puzzle. Ec.
