Hi,
I didn't like the new logo (and the way it was chosen), but we installed it anyway on fr.wiktionary because we wanted to have a unified logo. If all the Wiktionaries don't use it, it is useless.
I'd like to vote for a new logo, but the process should be better prepared than last time.
Note on the scrabble thing: personally it's not the copyright with Hasbro that bothered me. I just think that the logo should identify the project ("hey, it's the Wiktionary!") without reference to something else ("hey, it's that dictionary that uses scrabble tiles!").

Hello all, this is a very old and often discussed issue, the problems raised with the logo were not yet addressed (such as
copyright
issues, which characters to use), and the new 'logo' is IMHO the most
ugly
thing I have ever seen.
Btw.: from alexa.com: Where people go on Wiktionary.org:
- en.wiktionary.org - 48.6% <- old logo
- de.wiktionary.org - 12.8% <- old logo
- fr.wiktionary.org - 9.7% <- new logo
- ru.wiktionary.org - 3.6% <- old logo
- es.wiktionary.org - 3.1% <- old logo
- ja.wiktionary.org - 2.9% <- old logo
- pl.wiktionary.org - 2.4% <- old logo
- pt.wiktionary.org - 2.3% <- old logo
- it.wiktionary.org - 1.6% <- new logo
- el.wiktionary.org - 1.5% <- new logo
Guess how many Wiktionarians apprently like the new logo...
I didn't take part in the discussion and the vote, but this is a poor attempt to justify the old logo. People do not look at a web site like Wiktionary because of the logo.
Best regards, E.

Yann
