Hope you guys like this.
Thanks; I quite like the text regarding font and colour. Lydia already
suggested to add all logo proposals here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata#WikiData_logo_candidate
but maybe we should even set up a dedicated page. We should make sure
that no logo is lost in this thread.
Markus

Hi Markus,
thank you for helping us (designers) to find the way :)
To help us a bit more, can you (and the other members) give us
elements
to be integrated to the logo in reference to the WikiData
philosophy?
Well, just making suggestions ... in the end (like with all
Wikimedia projects), the community will decide about the logo. The
Wikidata developer team might only decide about the logo for the
software (just like MediaWiki has an own logo that is different from
Wikipedia's logo). So in fact we will need two logos :-)
So what should go into a Wikidata logo? I think: everything that
people collect data about: people, animals, cars, chemistry, music,
math, flowers, computers, ... Like the puzzle globe emphasizes the
textual nature of Wikipedia (in many languages), a Wikidata logo
should emphasize that the project is about the "things" themselves.
I don't know how to make this visually appealing and clearly
recognizable at the scale of a normal wiki logo, but I think it
could be done.
Good luck :-)
Markus

Thanks for all the input!
One thing I would like to keep in mind is that Wikidata is
meant to
be easy and welcoming for a wide audience. As a computer
scientist,
I understand and appreciate imagery like a steel database
cylinder,
but I think it could look a bit technocratic to "normal"
people. I
don't have concrete proposals, but I would find it amazing
if the
logo could have a human touch to it.
One idea maybe: many people will know the Unilever logo [1] (a U
made of a variety of objects). There are various logos in
similar
style (see also the "earth" category at logotrends 2011
[2]). Maybe
something like this would be suitable for us, to show that
Wikidata
is about a wide range of topics and people. But making such
a logo
is a bit of work.
Cheers,
Markus
