==#9 (Mixed-up meta logo)==

[[Image:Wikibooks3d-Qyd.png|100px]]

This is [[User:Qyd]]'s logo. He added it to the gallery without giving it a section. I felt it ought to be commented on. [[User:Dbmag9|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Dbmag9|‽]]) <small>Check out [[Wikiscope]]!</small> 10:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
:It's a fine logo, but it's got *too* much going on at once. &mdash;[[User:Nightstallion|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">Nightstallion</span>]] [[User talk:Nightstallion|''(?)'']] 18:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

: A good starting point, but the clash of the uber-detailed book and quill with the uber-abstract person is a bit too much. [[User:Kellen|Kellen]] 20:13, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

::: I'd probably like to compare with a version where the red ball has been moved slightly down.
::: yet another idea, move it a bit down and make it eye-shaped. -- [[User:Purodha|Purodha Blissenbach]] 17:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

:With the Current fiasco for the Incubator Wiki and an interpretation that Wikimedia logos besides the main Wikimedia logo should be very dissimilar (that is something up for discussion by itself), this looks like it may be rejected by the board.  I for one would encourage Wikimedia projects to have common themes, and I don't think the board should get too heavily involved with these decisions as well.  --[[User:Roberth|Roberth]] 16:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

What I really like about this one is the human element, first of all, but also the pen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but whereas the other projects are all about collecting information and redistributing it, Wikibooks requires a more artistic approach in presentation of the material.

#{{support}} I like this a lot. We could change the colours (to those that the 2 versions of candidate 15 have, par exemple) to                    make the logo more dissimilar to the Meta logo. --[[User:Lumijaguaari|Lumijaguaari]] 09:54, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

# {{Support}} Makes it instantly recognisable as a Wikimedia project and yet conveys the right meaning. Colors may be tweaked though. [[:en:User:Shushruth|Shushruth]]

# {{Support}} but there was also a nice one in the Wikiversity proposals by artur-rei [[de:Benutzer:Liondancer|Liondancer]] [[User:62.134.234.71|62.134.234.71]] 23:49, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
#{{support}} Like the concept when it was pointed out to me, but needs work. Make the book and pen the same style as the person and perhaps refine the perspective (need it be a directly straight down view). Perhaps even change the orientation: rotate 45, 90, or 180 degrees. [[w:User:Apantomimehorse|Apantomimehorse]]
#{{support}} --[[User:JonasRH|JonasRH]] 08:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC) (great, but it does need some work, especially on the pen)
# Like others have said, it needs some more work. Perhaps bring the red disk (the head) down a bit closer to the center of the green cresent, and maybe reduce the height. [[User:Swift|Swift]] 15:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
