As MediaWiki 2.0 is slowly moving closer, I think

replacing the current logo. The problems I have with it (and I say
that as its co-designer) are that the colors feel washed out, the
flower is asymmetrical, and the square brackets look just a tad bit
too square and ordinary.
I found a very nice flower photograph on Commons, and decided to
experiment with it a bit. The result can be found at:

I quite like this - but I think the brackets look too much like (( )) brackets
rather than [[ ]] - could you square off the corners a bit (but not entirely?)
Maybe try splitting the difference -- brackets (which is to say, square)
rather than parentheses-looking things, but with curves on the insides
to soften the look a little.
I'd edit them myself, except I'm only GIMP-skilled within very narrow
areas of usefulness, and would likely screw it up completely after
several hours' work, then give up in frustration.
