Logo votes begin
The fourth and final phase in the search for new logos for Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and Wiktionary began this week. The previous phase had identified the best variant of proposed logos, and a vote will now take place to determine the new logo for each of the three projects. This is the third vote in the process of designing and choosing new logos, and the votes will last until 31 October.
