From a personal point of view, having a really
whacky colour would be nice
-- like a vibrant pink logo, á la Amnesty International's colour schemes
(but WMUK :)). However, I doubt that the Wikimedia Identity Guidelines
would let us.
Perhaps a logo such as [love needed], although that's more of an inside
joke? There's some alternative fundraising banners floating around at Meta
that we could adapt if we wanted slogans. A WMUK logo with a monospace
"<3",
as we're internet based, washed out in the background?

If we come up with rough consensus on something plausible, it wouldn't
hurt to at least ask WMF about a logo variant.
Sometimes it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. ;-)
If you're prepared to quickly take down anything deemed too horrific you
should not have any issue experimenting with logo design variants. Based
on the current fundraiser, I think the volunteers can do better than
most pro advertising agencies. It's in the metrics the ad agencies are
really good for.
