This process is easy:

  1. Request the creation of the logo under "Requests".
  2. once logo is built, save it and rename it "Wiki.png" then upload it on the wiki and PROTECT IT.
  3. Ask for switch to be done by a developer in "Ready to switch" section.


Manage yourself: Wiki.png

Wikis can now change their own logo by uploading it with the filename 'Wiki.png'. That image should be protected to avoid vandalism. Please leave a mark here to tell us that you have the logo in place and the image is protected, we can then switch the config to use it. Any further updates can be done without dev intervention.


Ready to switch:

(logo need to be uploaded as Wiki.png AND protected)

Wikipedia

Hi. The logo for the bosnian language wikipedia needs to be changed. Currently it says "Wikipedije - Slobodne enciklopedije", which is actually plural and means "Wikipedias - The free encyclopedias". Since the standard seems to be "Wikipedia - The free encyclopedia" we have agreed to make a request here for a logo that says "Wikipedia - Slobodna enciklopedija". If somebody could make that and set it up it'd be much appreciated. Asim Led 21:06, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The Vietnamese Wikipedia has decided to change its motto from "Bách khoa tự do" to "Bách khoa toàn thư mở". The current logo, located here and here, was made by Nohat. Can someone please modify the logo? Thanks. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, blog) 04:16, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

There's now a decent example at vi:Image:Nohat-logo-X-vi-2.png. I'm not sure if it uses the same font as Nohat's logos, though. Also, it's not quite the same size as the original translation. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, blog) 02:54, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Actually, we're going to go with the image I linked to in my last reply, and we've already moved the image to vi:Image:Wiki.png and have protected it, so we're ready to switch. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, blog) 03:52, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

LV Wikipedia needs a new logo. The community has agreed that it should say "Vikipēdija Brīvā enciklopēdija". Thanks a lot. --Juzeris|talk 20:43, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

Can someone change the e into a j to http://li.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki.png the logo for li.wikipedia? Subtitle: "De Vriej Encyclopedie". Thanks. -- Guaka 13:55, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

On Marathi logo(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Mr-wiki-logo.png) the ु charecter under the मुक्त is missing. It should read मुक्त and not मक्त. Please correct it.

Can someone change the text for the Punjabi Wikipedia logo to ਵਿਕਿਪੀਡਿਆ please? The older translation ਵੀਕੀਪੀਡੀਆ is incorrect because it uses long vowels inappropriately (Wiikiipiidiiaa) whereas the new one is more accurate (Wikipiidiaa). 62.252.224.13 01:24, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • At simple:, we have concurrence to use a logo in the style of choice "Suggestion E" on this page. Can someone here make us a logo? It doesn't look like the creator has exactly the right "globe" as a base, and is having trouble with the transparency. -- Netoholic @ 21:17, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Could someone fix the icelandic logo, the globe is a tad to high and too dark (compare it with en.) -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 22:16, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • CHR - If you could do a Cherokee logo for me, I would really appreciate it. Decent font options include: Code2000, Aboriginal Sans/Serif, Everson Mono Unicode. ᏍᎩ! (Thanks!) (You'll definitely need one). The text should be: ᏫᎩᏇᏗᏯ (Wikiquedia) and ᎠᏎᏊᎢ ᎠᏓᏃᎮᏎᏗ ᎪᏪᎵ (asequui adanohesedi goweli). Please get this done for me ASAP and I will be very, very grateful. If you could be really awesome and upload it to http://chr.wikipedia.org I would be forever grateful. Thanks again!, Etse 13:57, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • ID needs a new logo. The text should be: Wikipedia - Ensiklopedi Bebas. Thanx Meursault2004 23:01, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • What fonts are used in the logo?
    • It depends. Different fonts are used for different scripts. The text for "wikipedia", when in the Latin alphabet, is supposed to be in "hoeflertext regular"; the subtitle is supposed to be in "hoeflertext italic". Node ue 21:24, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • The logo at the TH wiki is cropped, thereby making the logo slightly "wrong". It reads สารานกรมเสรี, but it should be สารานุกรมเสรี as the logo here says. (note the extra marker under the 5th letter... it's a vowel)

As a low priority tasks, bandwidth would be saved by copying them to the wikis given in their names. The list is all of those which are in the completed list below and hosted on meta.

      • I already did one for the Punjabi Wikipedia ;p --Node ue 23:19, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • Also, your logo is waaay too big and would get cropped off by the sidebar, and it's misleading to use "nohat" in the name if you, and not Nohat, created it. --Node ue 23:21, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Wrong transliteration! Can someone change the text for the Punjabi Wikipedia logo to ਵਿਕਿਪੀਡਿਆ please? The older translation ਵੀਕੀਪੀਡੀਆ is incorrect because it uses long vowels inappropriately (Wiikiipiidiiaa) whereas the new one is more accurate (Wikipiidiaa).
  • Could someone change the text underneath the Afrikaans logo to "Die vrye Ensiklopedie" as dis is the grammatically correct translation.

  • FR wikipédia was wondering if in any possible way those logos on the bottom of pages (Powered by MediaWiki and A WikiMedia Project could be translated? In our case that would respectively give "Soutenu Par MediaWiki" and "Un Projet WikiMedia". Thx fr:Utilisateur:Guillaume_Bokiau, 16 Dec 2004
  • Could anyone fix the spell miss in the common part of Wikipedia logo please? It says "ワィ", but I think it is supposed to read "ウィ" instead. You can check at anywhere in the Japanese Wikipedia (=ウィキペディア) pages. It looks so weird to me as I'm an native Japanese speaker.

  • I would like to request that the wikibooks logo is created/ehnanced to the same high 3D stadard as the Wikipedia logo. I would also suggest that a Simputer or PDA or phone or other reading device is added to the pile of books 82.69.58.117 05:08, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

And for [ang.wiktionary.org ANG] that says "Wiciwordbóc" with the subtitle "wicilic wordbóc openre innunge"? Thanks very much!

  • PT Wikibooks is requesting a new logo. The Wiki/books text should be replaced (if possible) by Wiki/Livros ("livros" means books, in portuguese) and "Think free. Learn free." should be replaced with "Livre pensar e aprender." Marcelo R. | @ 17:27, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • As our request was never satisfied, we decided to make our own logo... it's in discussion now. - João Jerónimo 19:29, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Source file(s) of logo?

  • Do you make the source files that you use to create the logo available (e.g. the PhotoShop or Gimp file)? Ozzyslovechild 21:00, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)


Yes! The logo source file, coupled with perhaps something in the vein of usage guidelines, could be quite liberating. Maybe seque Nohat, or his successor/s, toward a role more in the vein of project manager or artistic director after they've won the prize of being chosen to being The Next Logo? Someone to direct usage, and oversee the development process (especially the decision-making on issue resolution) as time passes? Nround 23:16, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wiktionary

File:Tsca wiktionary logo2.png What is the official politics on "alternative logos"? On the Polish dictionary there's a discussion about the logo; the one you see on the side is one of the proposals. The advantages are 1) it's a recognisable sign (which can't be said of the English Wiktionary logo) 2) it's easy to adapt to other languages. But, assuming that just one, Polish, Wiktionary wished to use a different logo, would there be objections?--tsca 16:52, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
đ

I like that logo a lot, with its "grunge" look. The Vietnamese one might simply feature a big "đ" letter, like the one to the right. But I think that, in order to keep the logo reasonably similar across languages, maybe something like an enlarged puzzle piece from the wikiball (Wikipedia logo) could be used instead. Unfortunately, I don't have decent imaging software, so I can't show you exactly what I mean, but take a look at Image:WikiLetra.png or Image:WikiLetraMini.png. My reasoning is this: words (which Wiktionary defines) are part of written prose (which Wikipedia consists of), so and the puzzle piece is part of a puzzle ball. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, blog) 02:45, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
