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.
It was just a rough, I didnt add text cause I didn't want to upset anyone who doesnt use the same character set as me, you can never be too careful these days... ;)
- Where does the butterfly come from? If it is copied from elsewhere,
there might be problems with using it.
Ask the original author, I just modified it to flow into the numbers.. I got it from the hebrew wikipedia logo contest, i just added a couple of photoslopped details to it.
- Which book do we see there, or is it just a stylization?
see 2
- Most annoying: the butterfly is cut off at the top left corner.
yes i know. i would get in contact with the original author, but there is the slight problem of language, since i can't know who it is because I have a problem with reading hebrew (i can't). So until our friendly ambassador from the he wiki gets back here I can't contact the original author to see if i can get a higher res original i could play with.

The author's name is Liad Vainberger, you can contact him at http://he.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%97%D7%AA_%D7%9E%D...

I have announced the International logo contest on the hebrew 'pedia and asked new submissions to be directed to the International contest instead of the localized one. I hope we'll have an agreement on a universal logo, participance from other wikipedias should also be encouraged, please announce it on all languages.
