One of the lovely things about the Wikimania logo -- which was designed by Ben Yates for Wikimania 2006 -- is that it is so adaptable. It's easy to draw with a couple of markers when you need to make a quick sign pointing attendees in the right direction, it's easy to print on a t-shirt, and it's easy to make derivatives of. I am so pleased to see the concept continuing to be used after all of these years, and I'm pleased to see each event make it their own :)
