very nice!!

Not bad. I'd like to see some more variations though... not quite perfect as it is. Can you put something else besides arrows? mix it up a bit.

IMHO, this has the most finished/professional look of all logos currently. Could this be combined with the unfinished sphere idea of #4? Perhaps the unfinished part should be in the same area where the arrows are missing. Also, I think the "Wikipedia" text should be slightly darker. --Eloquence 02:01 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

This is very good ! Just one thing bothering me on the first particularly...how are we gonna adapt this to the different languages easily if the name is distorted ? Ant

We are not. The logo contains the name -- how does SONY adapt its logo in different languages? Or IBM? Or Microsoft? --Gutza 13:45 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
then, as far as french and esperantists are concerned, this logo is out. Ant
That would be curious. Why? What term do you use on the French Wikipedia instead of "Wikipedia"? Or on the Esperanto Wikipedia? -- Gutza 15:16 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)


esperanto is Wikipedio, french is Wikipédia (and yes, written without the accent, it sounds ridiculous, that won't make it)
Ok, I can provide alternate versions with those changes, no problem, should that version be chosen. But just for my curiosity, Wikipedia is a name, not a common noun, right? How come you can use fr.wikipedia.org and eo.wikipedia.org instead of fr.wikipédia.org and eo.wikipedio.org and not be bothered with that? How come you have a logo clearly reading "WIKIPEDIA" on your very French wikipedia homepage? Do they say Motorolo and SONO in Esperanto instead of Motorola and SONY? Unfortunately I can't think of an example similar to Wikipedia (accent on e in the middle of the name) for a foreign company name - if there is any, do their Paris headquarters advertise a twisted name of their own for the French?
