Maybe one for the graphic designers, what about something completely different. My thoughts are that the icon should be something like a 'card index box' or similar, with the 'WikiIndex' logo on the front of the box — being as this site is an index of wikis. The current 'keys' suggest that we can somehow 'unlock' other wiki sites - which could be misleading. The old-skool Windows 3.1 card-box icon would be something like what I am thinking of.

: ''Although not a professional, I did study graphic design :-) [[Ray King]] hired a graphic designer who created what is the 'challenger.' These are the ideas we had 5 years ago [[WikiIndex:LogoOptions]]. [[WikiIndex]] was conceived to be more like a train switching station and was called [[SwitchWiki]] for the first several years of its life. [[RayKing]] and [[JohnStanton]] thought that [[WikiIndex]] was clearer. For me the lost of verb action is something I miss here. We are indeed an index of wiki. I think we can be more. :-) Keys denote unlocking self-organized knowledge - the best kind of knowledge! </nowiki></long winded typing!></nowiki>. Certainly the conversation is open!
