I agree this is very late in the day, but since the error was detected,
confirmed, and the logo resubmitted for vote, 16 days have passed
without a clear decision.
Can we have a decision within 24 hours? Everyone please vote by 12pm IST
tomorrow 27 September 2011 to adopt the revised logo or stay with the
old one.
Thanks,
Shekhar

I am guessing you are Bombaybiologist? Tanvir asked me
that someone was
changing the logo and if the organizer decided to change it. You are
citing some "long thread on this where nobody disagreed", please cite a
link.
Most of us here can read "Devnagari" script, but you can't go about
changing logos months into the event without consensus. I have no
objections as long as everyone is aware and agrees first.
Please note that such actions will easily lead to a block for you or
anyone on Meta, and protection for the pages.

I changed the logo on the main site today, but this was rolled back with
a question of whether it had been approved by Jayantha and
User:Wikitanvir.
There has already been a long thread on this where nobody disagreed, and
all said that the spelling errors and mis-reading in Devnagari must be
fixex. I think we should close the discussion and adopt the revised
logos. The full set of logos, banners and icons are uploaded here:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiConference_India_Logo_1.png
I accept full blame for earlier proposing this flawed design which read
as "chikri" or "vikri", and had an incorrect matra for
"wiki" in
Devnagari. I have worked with the designer to create revised versions
for all our purposes, from banners to icons to conference shwag.
I urge that we adopt these *across* all sites, conference as well as
registration, and on all other banners.
The registration page is still using the old logo (they should replace
it with the banner image above) and the header icon on the conference
page still has the old logo (should be replaced with the icon png
above).
I'm not sure who's in-charge of the registration site and the header,
but am happy to work with them to provide graphics based on the revised
logo.
Best,
Shekhar

Hi All,
This discussion should be held in Indian mailing list,
because this
mailing is open for few people.
User:Bombayologist is changing the logo without firm open

hi,
I am not against changing the current logo because the
wording
is technically incorrect and a lot of us
did miss it.
However, there should be, I think, a larger pool of
options than
2 before we select a new one?
warm regards,

Pradeep,
If it is a technical mistake it is ok to change.
However only for future printing etc.
Given that this event in intended to happen regularly it
helps to fix any glitches.
