International logo contest/Ratification
.png){kind=logo}
To make and suggest modifications to the winning logo to make it more widely appealing, please see final logo variants.
All Wikipedias can choose not to adopt the winning logo (shown here; see International logo vote/Results for the contest results). The process is as follows: List your Wikipedia below, and add your yes or no vote. Wikipedias with fewer than 10 votes will automatically adopt the new logo. Voting closes on October 1, 2003, 20:00 UTC.
The logo is already live on the English Wikipedia for demonstration purposes. If the English Wikipedia chooses not to ratify the new logo, it will be replaced with the old one [1] again. Please note that the current logo can always be optimized -- join the discussion and make proposals; anything which finds consensus can be used. Also note that any necessary internationalization will of course take place before the logo is used for your Wikipedia.

You have to be an editing member of the respective Wikipedia (at least 10 edits) to vote (again, you need a userpage on Meta which points to that account).
