I'd like to propose the following page:
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary/logo/refresh> be opened for
arguments and vote on it start in a weeks time.
I'd also like considerable help in advertising it throughout the
projects and managing the page, as well.

You do get me wrong, I am not justifying the old logo,
it is not a
logo, but the new logo is not accepted by many communities and
there is a dispute going on for long time now [1], [2], [3], [4],
[5], and I do not recommend to force all these communities with
something ugly like that after all these failed attempts to get
them to accept it. If there would be someone able to design a new
one from the scratch, something that looks more serious and not
like a kindergarden sign, maybe that might get more projectwide
acception.

Hello all, this is a very old and often discussed
issue, the
problems raised with the logo were not yet addressed (such as
copyright
issues, which characters to use), and the new
'logo' is IMHO
the most
ugly
thing I have ever seen.
Btw.: from
alexa.com: Where people go on
Wiktionary.org:
-
en.wiktionary.org - 48.6% <- old logo -
de.wiktionary.org -
12.8% <- old logo -
fr.wiktionary.org - 9.7% <- new logo -
ru.wiktionary.org - 3.6% <- old logo -
es.wiktionary.org - 3.1%
<- old logo -
ja.wiktionary.org - 2.9% <- old logo -
pl.wiktionary.org - 2.4% <- old logo -
pt.wiktionary.org - 2.3%
<- old logo -
it.wiktionary.org - 1.6% <- new logo -
el.wiktionary.org - 1.5% <- new logo
Guess how many Wiktionarians apprently like the new logo...
I didn't take part
in the discussion and the vote, but this is a
poor attempt to justify the old logo. People do not look at a web
site like Wiktionary because of the logo.
Best regards, E.
