[Foundation-l] Along with Vector, a new look for changes to the Wikipedia identity

[Jay Walsh]

Thanks, Lodewijk

We've seen a lot of comments about the size of the puzzle globe, and I don't disagree that it might benefit from being increased in size slightly.  I feel this might also affect the overall contrast and definition.  The whole usability team is collecting feedback on this, and part of that is the overall shape and size of the identity.

Thanks
