I'm not so sure, actually.
The W thing blows my brain. "Let's take the WIkipedia wordmark, the strongest
branding we have, take the distinctive W, change the font to the same one used by
Wordpress, and then drop the rest of the mark." I have no idea where that came
from.
Then, once you get into the meat of it, it's just another firm who didn't really
do any research into what our product is, does, or how it works. They change the meaning
of "History" to be your browsing history (though there's a link to the
revision history from the edit mode). There's no language selectors and they do their
best to *bury* language selection on
www.wikipedia.org.
It's just a mess, really.
And strangely US-centric, for them being a firm in Lithuania.

just reacting to the W design.
