The original logo here, which reads "chikree" or "vikree" and not
"wiki":

I agree this is very late in the day, but since the error was detected,
confirmed, and the logo resubmitted for vote, 16 days have passed
without a clear decision.
Can we have a decision within 24 hours? Everyone please vote by 12pm IST
tomorrow 27 September 2011 to adopt the revised logo or stay with the
old one.
Thanks,
Shekhar

I am guessing you are Bombaybiologist? Tanvir
asked me that someone was
changing the logo and if the organizer decided to change it. You are
citing some "long thread on this where nobody disagreed", please cite a
link.
Most of us here can read "Devnagari" script, but you can't go about
changing logos months into the event without consensus. I have no
objections as long as everyone is aware and agrees first.
Please note that such actions will easily lead to a block for you or
anyone on Meta, and protection for the pages.

I changed the logo on the main site today, but this was rolled back
with
a question of whether it had been approved by
Jayantha and
User:Wikitanvir.
There has already been a long thread on this where nobody
disagreed, and
all said that the spelling errors and
mis-reading in Devnagari must
be
fixex. I think we should close the discussion
and adopt the revised
logos. The full set of logos, banners and icons are uploaded here:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiConference_India_Logo_1.png
I accept full blame for earlier proposing this flawed design which
read
as "chikri" or "vikri",
and had an incorrect matra for "wiki" in
Devnagari. I have worked with the designer to create revised
versions
for all our purposes, from banners to icons
to conference shwag.
I urge that we adopt these *across* all sites, conference as well
as
registration, and on all other banners.
The registration page is still using the old logo (they should
replace
it with the banner image above) and the
header icon on the
conference
page still has the old logo (should be
replaced with the icon png
above).
I'm not sure who's in-charge of the registration site and the
header,
but am happy to work with them to provide
graphics based on the
revised
