As MediaWiki 2.0 is slowly moving closer, I think we should consider replacing the current logo. The problems I have with it (and I say that as its co-designer) are that the colors feel washed out, the flower is asymmetrical, and the square brackets look just a tad bit too square and ordinary.
I found a very nice flower photograph on Commons, and decided to experiment with it a bit. The result can be found at: http://scireview.de/wiki/logos/
I quite like this - but I think the brackets look too much like (( )) brackets rather than [[ ]] - could you square off the corners a bit (but not entirely?)
Maybe try splitting the difference -- brackets (which is to say, square) rather than parentheses-looking things, but with curves on the insides to soften the look a little.
I'd edit them myself, except I'm only GIMP-skilled within very narrow areas of usefulness, and would likely screw it up completely after several hours' work, then give up in frustration.
