[Wikimediaindia-l] [WikiConference-India 2011] [Wikimedia-in-mum] Vote for the Conference Logo

The old logo is SPELLED INCORRECTLY.
For those who do not read Devanagri or just see it as a symbolic design
it may be beautiful. But it is WRONG. It reads "chikri" or "vikri", not
"wiki". See the spelling here http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Best,
Shekhar
