If a precedent was set then, then it was reversed by the successful Wikibooks logo change: <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibooks/Logo> As should be the case, when that happened it was enforced and all the projects were updated -- if they had no translation, they were given a plane version without any words (this could later be translated and requested on bugzilla). The Wikibooks way is probably the best way to go about it.

If a vote is held on Meta-Wiki in the mainspace (not Meta: space), then it has to do with multiple projects and we use Meta-Wiki because it is the "Wikimedia project coordination wiki". This means that the vote is intended for all communities and they are the ones who vote and discuss. > If not, what is the 'right way' to > pursue a logo change - using a staff driven process like this one, where the > vote is more confirmatory than determinant? IMO, the process doesn't need to be staff-*driven*, but they need to be involved and know about the progress of the change. This being said, their input would be valuable and would mean a lot -- if Jay says "no, this isn't going to happen", I think that would either make it so that the proposal wouldn't move forward or people would be less likely to vote in favor of it. -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists.
