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

[Jay Walsh]

Hi folks,

The UX team folks have prepared a new rendering of the mark and it's available for review on the Prototype wiki:
http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/Main_Page

I've made a short update the conversation thread on commons here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia/2.0#Logo_revisions_need_input

Which is also where you can leave new feedback.  I discuss some of the nuances of the appearance of the identity on other browsers there, and I think others have also pointed those out.

Please take a look at the prototype version and share your comments on that commons thread.  We want to get a range of opinions to ensure it looks optimal on a lot of different browser settings, and also that we consider the observations about the transition from the previous.  We'll be collecting feedback through next week and we'll introduce a modification hopefully very shortly after that.

FYI the identity looks really, really good in non-digital settings (printed, used in graphic applications etc).  There are no major issues with how it translates into real-world objects (banners, posters, pins etc). 

Thanks for your input,
jay
