Reply to WCI Comments

I tried to alter...but, the logo with puzzle concept becomes complex and conferred ...as when we use another puzzle piece one puzzle's one or side by side...with tricolors...

The logo design aesthetics is disturbed... As it should be minimal and universal....

My opinion: If we add the list of ideas in logo...then it would become illustration.It should be iconic.
color aspects: My opinion is...Using national identity as secondary ..for universal projects like wiki ...plays well.
