Wikimedia (our umbrella organization) and MediaWiki (our software) now have official logos, namely the second and third place submissions from our contest. I have used the second place design by User:Neolux as the more important Wikimedia logo. I think it looks very nice on the Wikimedia Foundation page, please do take a look:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/
My sunflower logo, which came in third place, seems well suited for the software. The square brackets give it a technical look, which may be inappropriate elsewhere, but is a nice reference here. I've also added a little slogan to the logo. You can see it here:
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/
(We may want to move the project to mediawiki.sourceforge.net, but that's not a priority.)
I for one am happy with the logo situation now. I think our projects altogether have a far more professional look than when we started.
All best,
Erik

I love 'em! Kudos!

Definitely so! Could we call this some sort of major step towards consensus?
I'd definitely ok with these choices. Kudos to all the artists and their hard work, and to all the techies shouldering the heavy loaded servers. Growth is good! More editors more articles, and less to argue about which design is the best logo. I'm putting that behind and concentrating on more growth in the WikiP's I frequent.
w/ regards, Jay B.

Since the Mediawiki project is part of Wikimedia, shouldn't there be a link to it (with it's shiny new logo) on the Wikimedia.org page?

ITS shiny new logo. ITS ITS ITS.
Excuse me while I punish myself for my apostrophe-itis breakout.
Actually you're correct -- there are *three forms : Its, it's, (of it) and the contraction of it is - it's.
I think ~S~

Actually, "its" is the possessive adjective, "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has".
The "of it" bit would be included in "its".

I don't think you do. (Sorry, kidding, but had to make the comment...) PIHNA, people! (Possessive Its Has No Apostrophe) For explanation, it's because its is a pronoun. His and hers don't have apostrophes either.

It's funny to watch someone debating its (oh, okay, his/her ;)) mother tongue. :-)
