Wikipedia:Requests for comment/New Wikipedia Logo

New Wikipedia logo
I am placing this request for comment with regards to the new Wikipedia logo which has been introduced. I am gauging from many regular users of the Wikipedia channels on IRC, that the new logo is ugly, and does not fit with the style of Wikipedia. I personally feel also, that it was introduced in a backdoor manner, with the original discussion about this change having been undertaken at meta.wikimedia.org, and there being no notice here to inform us that this change was even in the pipeline. We should have at least had a choice of which logo we would get, as meta did when theirs was changed, and we should have been told this was happening.

I, and others, feel that the discussion was hidden out of the way, and with us having no notification, this change shouldn't have been undertaken.

 * commentThe previous version of the logo was the result of several rounds of refinement. The failure to go through that process has resulted in an unacceptably poor logo. Heh the smoth ball aproach was rejected way back (m:File:Terre3(S).png).©Geni 23:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
