Click this URL http://www.sociableblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/wikidata-logo.png (400px)
Hope you guys like this.
Thanks; I quite like the text regarding font and colour. Lydia already suggested to add all logo proposals here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata#WikiData_logo_candidate
but maybe we should even set up a dedicated page. We should make sure that no logo is lost in this thread.
Markus

Well, just making suggestions ... in the end (like with all Wikimedia projects), the community will decide about the logo. The Wikidata developer team might only decide about the logo for the software (just like MediaWiki has an own logo that is different from Wikipedia's logo). So in fact we will need two logos :-) So what should go into a Wikidata logo? I think: everything that people collect data about: people, animals, cars, chemistry, music, math, flowers, computers, ... Like the puzzle globe emphasizes the textual nature of Wikipedia (in many languages), a Wikidata logo should emphasize that the project is about the "things" themselves. I don't know how to make this visually appealing and clearly recognizable at the scale of a normal wiki logo, but I think it could be done. Good luck :-) Markus On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 1:21 PM, Markus Krötzsch <markus@semantic-mediawiki.org <mailto:markus@semantic-mediawiki.org> <mailto:markus@semantic- mediawiki.org <mailto:markus@semantic-mediawiki.org>>> wrote: Thanks for all the input! One thing I would like to keep in mind is that Wikidata is meant to be easy and welcoming for a wide audience. As a computer scientist, I understand and appreciate imagery like a steel database cylinder, but I think it could look a bit technocratic to "normal" people. I don't have concrete proposals, but I would find it amazing if the logo could have a human touch to it. One idea maybe: many people will know the Unilever logo [1] (a U made of a variety of objects). There are various logos in similar style (see also the "earth" category at logotrends 2011 [2]). Maybe something like this would be suitable for us, to show that Wikidata is about a wide range of topics and people. But making such a logo is a bit of work.
