<littledanehren(a)yahoo.com> gave utterance to the following:
But the Nohat logo doesn't have any *words* on it!
No
matter how many minor modifications are made, it still
won't have words. Wikipedia is about words, not just
letters.
Dan, did you ever read the starting brief for the logo contest? It
included the condition that, because W is multilingual, the logo should
not use words. So the original "winning" logo was in breach of the rules
and shouldn't have made it to the final 10.
But it did anyway, and won - as a concept. And by its designer's own
admission it wasn't up to production standard yet.
Why weren't these modifications in the original logo
vote like other modifications were?
Because the announced plan was to work on refining the winner wikistyle.
PS. About a week and a half ago, I posted some
complaints about the logo, but my comments were
deleted by an anon. I'm really mad at him/her, but I
can't do anything about it.
Why can't you just reinstate them from the page history?
