that much liberty is given in a calligraphic logo... it isn't a signage,
it's a visual devnagari representation. the curves may intersect in
alphabets.
this logo just has a beautiful flow to it, thats why my vote is still for
this one only :)

The old logo is SPELLED INCORRECTLY.
For those who do not read Devanagri or just see it as a symbolic design
it may be beautiful. But it is WRONG. It reads "chikri" or "vikri",
not
"wiki". See the spelling here
