Real Logo of Attica
Some days now, it came to my notice that the logo of Attica (which was removed by the editor yesterday) actually was not the real one. The real logo of Attica can be found here:.

I could re-upload it for the English Wikipedia, but I am not sure under which License to upload it. --S ILENT R ESIDENT  07:54, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't bother, since it does not seem to be any more official. The source originally given for this logo is dead, but the current link to the web page of the region has no trace of the logo. It is probably just a "fancy logo" made by some designer at some time in history and then forgotten. --T*U (talk) 13:07, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The Greek public websites are tragic and no safe assumptions can be made based by just looking on them. Because these public websites were made by Greek employees. And the things here is: the Greek employees are having a terrible organizational culture and mentality which does not hold the institutions in which they work, their history, and their symbols in high respect. I know this because I have worked in the Public sector and I have witnessed this myself. When it comes to promoting the local governmental institutions, the Greeks have the bad habit of not paying enough attention so that the Greek websites are presented in a quality manner and on par with Western websites. As for the icon itself, I can reassure you it is still official and is used continuously outside of the website - in all documents/papers issued/supported by the Periphery of Attica. The icon is being used still, so it is official and there is no question about that. Here an invitation letter, dating 21 May 2017, with the Attica Logo printed on it:, for you. Source: Facebook page of the Periphery of Attica. Translation for you: "Supported by the Periphery of Attica and the City Hall of Penteli." and below it, 2 emblems are printed - that of the Periphery of Attica and that of the Penteli City Hall. --S ILENT R ESIDENT  14:16, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I am sure you are right. The problem then will be licencing. In principle the logo is copyrighted, so it will have to be officially released for use. Perhaps this can help you? The Greek text is a bit too much for me. --T*U (talk) 15:38, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * OK just in case you wanted to know what the text in that page is. It is about a contest for promoting Attica and her destinations/products to the foreign (and local) tourists who visit the region, and certainly, it has nothing to do with the symbol itself. However, once again, possibly due to the laziness of an employee, he chose to upload Attica's symbol twice as a filler in the place of what could have been a genuinely chosen touristic photo. Your link contains a good resolution of Attica's emblem but other than that, the text has nothing to do with the symbol itself. OK I will see how other Greek symbols were uploaded on Wikimedia and follow their example. --S ILENT R ESIDENT  15:54, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
