My thoughts are to arrange what seem to be favored and have people get that many votes, and vote on the cluster or individual logo.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
Add your name in the left logo, right logo or either area of the logo grouping you like.
 
==mix of both work?==
* left logo:[[User:Swordman|Swordman]], [[MarkDilley]],
* right logo:
* either:

* either:  [[Felix Pleşoianu]], [[User:TeraS]]

===Logo===
Crazy thought / change the logo?  Here's a concept, comments welcome [[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small>
 
[[Image:WikiindexLogo.png]]
 
I prefer our current logo, it fits in well with the style of the site and the monobook skin. '''[[User talk:Elassint|Elassint]]''', 10 21 2010
: Understood; I was thinking that we'd also move from monobook to vector when we did the upgrade.  Example at [http://www.ICANNWiki.com. ICANNWiki.com]  [[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small>
I don't see a need to rebrand right now, even under vector.  I must admit to being biased to the current logo though :-) ~~ [[MarkDilley]]  p.s. look at past [[logo]] ideas too.
: To the right, I am suggesting a rebranding using the same image and different lettering - with the image above the text - also this is the favicon we have had for a while, lost recently.  Many complements of the logo, thus my pushing for keeping it is some fashion. :-) ~~ [[MarkDilley]]  [[Image:WikiIndexLogoIdea1.png|right]]  [[Image:WikiIndexLogoIdeasOct2010.png|right|other font ideas]]
I love this logo. The current one appears to be a bit, no offence please, quaint in the meantime. This one is very catchy, modern and clear. It works on heaps of skins and allows a good favicon. --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 08:36, 1 November 2010 (PDT)
 
I find the logo great, but it could be even greater :-) though a need for a rebrand seems not to be. But think also about the favicon which is currently empty. Please let me have a further look on it. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 00:07, 27 October 2010 (PDT)<br/><small>@Raymond, was it your design?</small>
 
 
::I tried something yesterday, but got no reasonable results so far. I guess the [[Image:Red-shovel.svg|32px|shovel]] [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shovels.png shape] in the teeth of the key was intended as a metaphor for gardening? --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 00:37, 28 October 2010 (PDT)<br/><small>
:::p.s. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Steel_trowel.jpg/90px-Steel_trowel.jpg [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Steel_trowel.jpg this one] could fit better ;-) </small>
 
:What about this straight forward logo below? [[User:Indexer|Indexer]] 01:11, 30 October 2010 (PDT)
[[Image:wikiindexsample.png]]
::It's not a bad idea, but there's no way we can make a 396 × 98 logo like that work with monobook or vector. Sorry. '''[[User talk:Elassint|Elassint]]''', 10 30 2010
 
:::This is a [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Citizendium Citizendium] clone. I do not really fancy it. --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 08:36, 1 November 2010 (PDT)
 
Here another suggestion:<br/>[[Image:Wiki-key-draft-2.png]]<br/>too much "hidden" content ;-) ? --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 11:43, 30 October 2010 (PDT)
 
:Okay here is the same logo in 128 by 128. [[User:Indexer|Indexer]] 17:52, 30 October 2010 (PDT)
 
[[Image:wikiindexsample2.png]]
:: that's not the problem. If it should work as favicon, it has to be scaled down to 32x32 or 16x16 pixels - try better with a square shape. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 05:34, 31 October 2010 (PDT)
:::Yours is not 32x32 or 16x16 either, and mine is square shape. The green colour doesn't look good. [[User:Indexer|Indexer]] 16:13, 31 October 2010 (PDT)
 
=== Favicon ===
[[Image:FaviconIdeaOct2010.png]]
: This simplified logo (minus the text) might be something that could be recycled into the favicon. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 04:32, 27 October 2010 (PDT)
: I like that idea. It would make an excellent favicon! [[User:TeraS|TeraS]] 18:11, 27 October 2010 (PDT)
: I think this is a good idea as well - and if we kept original keys, we could change lettering to this color. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
: A nice one. See me comments in the logo section. --[[User:Kghbln|kgh]] 08:38, 1 November 2010 (PDT)
: I like this a favicon. I'm neutral on changing the logo, but if we do, I think matching with this favicon would be the way to go. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:08, 4 November 2010 (PDT)
: awesome favicon choice.. --[[User:Comets|Comets]] 01:10, 7 April 2011 (PDT)
: Thus favicon has won me over to Rathbone's Image:WikiindexLogo.png , but instead of "wikiIndex" being in new logo image I'd prefer "WikiIndex", "Wiki Index", "Wiki index" or "wiki index" (with the "index" part in red lettering). --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 00:02, 19 May 2011 (PDT)
