Per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Logo_announcement, WMF has received a cease-and-desist from the World Trade Organization regarding the Wikivoyage logo. WTO has generously given us until the end of July to change the logo. Per WMF legal, we cannot use any derivative of the current logo, and I'd add to that that we really ought to stay away from the WTO red-green-blue. (There's also the added bonus that WMF projects that use the red-green-blue scheme are almost universally meta-projects, not content projects.)
Please join the discussion, as we need to move quickly on this. And start brainstorming logo ideas!

I think the difference in the two logos are very wide. Did they not see the logo moving around in its early stages. So they're now seeing it to be identical?
What a world we live in! Well, its as simple as getting a new one. The WikiVoyage Logo also is very beautiful.
I wonder if the new one will be such attractive and nice.

Hi all,
most of you will already have seen the announcement of the results of the logo contest (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Logo/2013/R2/Results/Runoff#Winni... ). The new logo can be found here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikivoyage-Logo-v3-en.svg
The wikivoyage.org wikis themselves have already been updated to the new logo. This is just a reminder that all Wikivoyage logos that are used offwiki should be updated as well, as soon as possible. Thanks!
