Cunc-
I had written a more useful response which I
accidentally deleted, about how
a more useful discussion of the logo question would not center on
aesthetics, but on what message we want the logo to portray--e.g., the
current one says "Wikipedia is serious, dense, textual, highminded,
comprehensive, global, and perhaps arrogant, dull, confusing, and
Anglocentric."
That's a lot. A lot to disagree with and argue about. And you don't even
talk about Hobbes' message, which, as I said, is certain to be
controversial.
The flower one says "Wikipedia is fun and
involves life/growth/the sun". So
it's unsurprising it looks like a logo for a biotech/agritech corporation or
organization, like Monsanto or the EU Eco-label.
Monsanto? These folks would disagree:

The Greens have pretty much monopolized the sunflower, that's why I
wouldn't really want to use it, it was just a quick hack.
