Having similar colours is quite a distinct from having a logo similar in overall appearance. Since there has already been a comment on the colours, I don't think the request to have a similar comment on appearance is unreasonable.

In fact it is probably necessary for completeness, and to save lines of discussion on something that may not be an issue.

This does affect Meta too, and the other projects that reference it.

So you feel a logo you don't like shouldn't become the logo and so raise it here? Please...

I'm sure Philippe is watching the discussion and has already commented that for example the whole idea about the colors not being used is not a concern or a problem on WMF's part.

The Wikivoyage logo poll is generating strong support for an option that looks extremely similar to the Meta-Wiki logo. Several of us feel that this will create brand confusion and numerous problems down the road, but it still has strong support from folks who think that similarity – which in this case goes far beyond just the colors – is an asset. Is there any way we can get WMF’s brand identity team (or whomever) to comment on whether such a logo would be acceptable, ideally before we get into stage 2 of the poll?
