I'm glad that Wikisource finally got rid of the iceberg photo. It was
never a logo. I always saw it as a placeholder, nothing more.
Unfortunately, the stagnant situation was caused, from what I have
observed, by a small but vocal group of users who know very little
about design or identity, but who "liked" the iceberg photo and fought
tooth and nail to defend it. This is apparently the reason why the
best that could be done is a stylized version of the very same
iceberg. Oh well.

My personal favorite from the contest was Spirit's logo, though its
realism also goes a bit far:
