[WikiX-l] Table on "wikipedia" in many languages for t-shirt and slideshow

[Jay Walsh]

It's really interesting that you bring this up, Neal.  David Peters designed the shirt - a contract designer who has been working with WMF for over a year now on a variety of projects.  He also developed the core Wikipedia 10 concept design.

He was telling me the other day that he has A) found a handful more scripts that weren't included in this design, and B) he's realized that he hasn't provided a code-key to explain what all of the languages are, and he's now working on a simple graphic to show the romanized/english variant of each name, and it seems that it would make sense per your point to include the abbreviated language designator of each too.

For the whole 250+ Wikipedias there are only about 60 different language character variations of the wordmark.  The tagline 'the free encyclopedia' is different and unique in virtually every language, but the wordmark itself is not necessarily unique.

I'm not sure that's exactly what you were looking for, but I think it's a step in that direction.
