Dear Wikimedia & Education community,
TL:DR Vote
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/voting_for_new_logo> on the
color for our new logo!
In January 2018 the Education Team at the Wikimedia Foundation published a
report based on a survey that asked all of the Wikimedia & Education
stakeholders for input about our communications and branding. The research
conducted last year found that our communications materials and resources
were not reflecting the work of our large and active community of program
leaders, educators, students, policy makers, and many more.
We announced in July that we would start making some initial revisions to
the Education space on Outreach Wiki
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education>. Including phasing out the
current visual identity, archiving outdated pages and information,
developing new content that is relevant and current, and improving overall
usability.
The first step in this process is to decide on a new logo. The
Communications team at the Wikimedia Foundation has designed something for
us, and has asked us to choose a color from three that they have provided.
We need your help to decide on the right color for our logo. Please look at
the options here
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/voting_for_new_logo>, and
vote for the one you like best.
After we have decided on the design that we like, the Education Team will
work with the Communications team to provide usage guidelines similar to
the one that was developed for the Wikimedia Hackathon
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Hackathon_logo_gudielines.pdf>.
This will include guidelines on variations of the logo, and how it can be
customized for different communities, groups, and events related to
Wikimedia & Education.
Voting starts today and will end on October 28, 2018. Again, the link is
here:

We look forward to seeing what you choose!
