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

[David Gerard]

FYI. BTW, I didn't know the prototype wiki existed!

Also: Please try your weird, cheap and bad browsers on en:wp and the
prototype wiki as an anonymous user. There's been a string of problem
reports about older BlackBerrys and the PS3 browser, for example. The
more good bug reports, the better.

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
