IMHO, we don't need a logo so much as we need a logo concept. I think that there should be something constant about the logo, but that there should also be an element that can change. For instance, Google's logo changes for the holidays (though this is not necessarily my intent).
I like the open book idea. I also like the idea that the logo should lend itself to the goals of Wikipedia. I think it would be a good idea to have a basic "opened book" avilable to the public, from which anyone might base a logo. I like the numbers, too. Maybe they could stay.
I envision all kinds of things standing on the opened book, writing something on the page. Monkeys, men, women, etc.

hey, I had like an idea, so i ripped offo ne of the logo's I saw on the hebrew wikipedia, which i figured was OK because its GFDL, and I did a little change to it... you can all see it here: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lightning
Looks nice, but:
- There should be a "WikipediA" (with the letters between the W and A in
small caps) text below the logo, at least for the Latin Wikipedias.
I think it would be better if the logo has no text. Then the same graphic can be used on all sites without any conversion.
I like it by the way :-)
