[edit] Possible Logo

How about this as a logo? --Timrem (talk • contribs)

I support you and your logo -- 23:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm in favour. Do it! =] —Nightstallion (?) 09:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I would, but thats an admin's dev's (thanks AmiDaniel) job, which I'm not :( Timrem (talk • contribs) 19:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks fine to me; however, it's actually somethin admins can't do--only devs, and I'm not sure they really care too much about the aesthetic aspects of the test wiki, but you can try. AmiDaniel 01:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Support - better than using the regular Wikipedia logo incase someone gets to this Wiki on accident. 87.79.3.253 23:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I had an even better idea... You all know the inverted version of the Wikipedia logo, which is mainly black? The one used in the "editors -- vandals----which side are you on?" image? I'd like the black version to be the logo of Test-Wikiepdia. What do you say? —Nightstallion (?) 15:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I like it too, and I just uploaded version D. It's the black version without the black backgruond (unsightly IMO in the top left corner of a white webpage) and with a couple of tweaks to make it look right. --james_(talk) 16:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Perfect! Don't forget to vote yourself. ;) —Nightstallion (?) 18:23, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

1. Keep this. It's te only one which does not look completely ugly to me, and there is an eyecatching difference to "real" Wikipedia. 84.60.193.248 17:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• A suitable logo, as it's still a test *Wikipedia*, but not a normal one. I like the inversion very much. :) —Nightstallion (?) 19:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

  Yeah, this one looks good. The black background was what I didn't like about the inverted one. Maybe we can change it to say "WIKIPEDIA The Test Encyclopedia" :) Timrem (talk • contribs) 20:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

  Voting for myself (and I'm now logged in...) *cough* --james_(talk) 03:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

  I like this one, but I think it'd be better if it had some indication that this is a test wiki and not just Wikipedia with a different logo. Maybe change "Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia" to "Test Wiki" or something, or maybe like proposal E. -- w:User:Snaxe920

  I changed the text a little (see above). I couldn't get the anti-aliasing exactly right, but I've got the font on my iBook if you want a different change. --james_(talk) 15:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Yeah, this one looks good. The black background was what I didn't like about the inverted one. Timrem (talk • contribs) 19:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

  Wonderful work. I strongly urge all supporters of C1 to support C2 instead. :) —Nightstallion (?) 08:29, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

  Jumping ship! --james_(talk) 10:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

  --Marbot 18:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC) --> I changed my mind (see C3) --Marbot 17:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  A point that's been raised by LBMixPro is that it should read "The Test Wiki" instead of "The Test Encyclopedia", as it really isn't an encyclopedia at all. Could you change that, please? Keep the red, though. :) —Nightstallion (?) 06:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

  Done in C3 :) --james_(talk) 02:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  This one... but change it to "Test Wiki" as Nightstallion said – Gurch 15:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC) (Changed to C3)

1. I vote for this one. --w:User:Snaxe920 19:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

C3

1. I like to vote for myself --james_(talk) 02:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
2. Changing my vote, yet again... ;) —Nightstallion (?) 05:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
3. Changed FTM. I'll still look at other options, now that I have something else to work with. --LBMixPro 06:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
4. Changed from C2 :) Timichal _{(Ouch. I thought that ;D in the sourcecode is an emoticon, and put the vote under it)}
5. Yeah, this one. (Changed from C2) – Gurch 11:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

1. You can't miss this... -- Earle Martin 20:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
2. I like the diagonal TEST --Jondel 09:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
3. Prefer this one. Pedant 18:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• This one is the one I proposed, it shows that it is a test wiki without writing "TEST" over the logo. Knowing that this wiki is meant to test things that aren't quite ready to go live but will evenually, I seen the blending between white and black to work --LBMixPro 01:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

  Mh. It looks a bit too crude to me, personally. —Nightstallion (?) 06:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

  It's meant to seem crude, as it's a test Wikipedia, for stuff that isn't fine-tuned yet. Dbmag9 19:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

  But it's not for "testing" projects, but simply for testing software changes, and as such, it doesn't make sense to me to have a crude logo. A simple inversion of the Wikipedia logo looks better IMO. —Nightstallion (?) 09:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

  I like this one. I really am against putting TEST in big letters on top of it, but this seems nice. Also make sure the background's transparent. Dbmag9 08:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

  It's already transparent, I'm using it in my monobook.css. However, I couldn't find the matching font for the "Text Wiki" part. I notified User:Nohat at en about it though. --LBMixPro 06:52, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
