[Wikipedia-l] New logo and further process

[Erik Moeller]

We have a new logo! See

http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_logo_vote/Results

for the contest results.

What now? As you may have noticed, I have taken the liberty to put the  
logo on the English Wikipedia already. However, this is not necessarily  
permanent but primarily serves to demonstrate how the logo looks in real  
world use. The above URL contains a link to the logo discussion page. You  
can make proposals for changes to the logo, and any change that finds a  
consensus can be made. There is no time limit on this.

Now for the tricky part. Each Wikipedia can choose to "ratify" the new  
logo, or to keep its current one. This was an idea by Anthere (I think),  
and it seems reasonable to avoid hard feelings and to see if we have  
strong enough support for the new logo. If not enough people participate  
in this vote, the logo is automatically ratified.

Thanks for participating, and let's do this again in two years ;-)

Regards,

Erik
