There seems to be a strong consensus developing on [[m:Final logo variants]] for this logo variant of the winning logo:

So far only one person has said that it is worse than the current (new) logo while 19 have said that it is better. What do you say, should we

try

...

the consensus approach for a change and just replace the logo until someone objects very strongly and annoyingly? Then we can start refining this one some more.

Hard to say whether that's nicer or worse than the current one. In either case, I think there should definitely be another round of voting; everything else would just generate the impression that we first hold a multi-round public vote and then ignore the results.

That proposed version is much much better. The trouble with the current logo is that it does two conflicting things. It introduces an interesting graphic look, the uncompleted globe in colour /and/ text on the globe. The text isn't intended to be read, but small text, on jigsawed colour, in a broader graphic, looks too cluttered. The old graphic was good because it was simply shaped single tone text. Colour /and/ text /and/ graphic shape in a small logo in the corner of a computer screen is too cluttered by far. It lacks clarity, lacks definition and recognition.
