The "classic" logo is not a logo at all, but has the inertia of long use. The new logo would give some consistency but is not compelling, a mixture of good ideas and serious flaws. Since it's not a clear upgrade in the way that the Wikipedia logo was, it's not surprising that different parts of the project have decided not to go with it.
Given that background, I would conclude that neither of the current options is desirable, and we need to develop a new Wiktionary logo. I think a well-executed logo would not have much difficulty securing adoption across the project. My own suggestion would be to use individual blocks but to have them be like type pieces from a printing press. This would incorporate some aspects of both current logos - from the older one the feel of a dictionary, and from the newer one the more logo-like benefits, while dropping the appearance of game pieces. As I'm not a graphic designer, I'm not going to attempt to actually create the logo, but I would be very interested to see what someone with professional skills could come up with using this concept. --Michael Snow _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
