Current discussion

Looks like a simplified variation of the w:Ubuntu Logo or leafes in autumn, the children reading books are hard to see. --Matthias 07:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's because the depths are wrong - the heads should be on top - currently they are between the table and the books for some reason! --HappyDog 22:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty good this one but completely abstract - reading this discussion now I realise where it comes from. But no-one will spot that if it's used; its impact is best considered as an abstract logo. --Mcld 17:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Has potential. Needs to be reworked. Tkgd2007 01:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Needs to be more colorful, but its my choiceSarindam7 20:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More colorful? It's really quite colorful. Look at it compared with the other Foundation logos (see below), and it really pops out. I like this proposal more than I dislike it, but it is far too close to the Ubuntu logo for me to vote for it. The very first thing I thought when I saw it was "Ubuntu!" (and I use Kubuntu, not Ubuntu). The colors are the same, the concept is the same, and it just is too similar. It's also too abstract an idea for me to choose for use with youth. The text is jumbled and difficult to read, too; not a good thing for young readers. Again, I basically like this logo, but I can't vote for it for several reasons. --Willscrlt (Talk) 10:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The design is very nice. The only problem is the difficulty to make out there are children reading. -- RaminusFalcon «…» («it.wikipedia») 07:58, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The kids reading premise would be more obvious if the heads were green too, like the text, (and maybe on top like a previous comment suggested). 67.182.220.187 22:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since people seem to be responding to the colorscheme rather than the shape, I've created a second version that retains the colors, the wordmark and the idea of a stylized reading child, but uses a shape that is perhaps better suited for this project. While the child may still be hard to make out (I don't consider that a big problem, personally) the logo should convey the idea of a project focused on children better.

- It looks like a bird flying in front of a sunset to me. I don't see a child at all. Sorry. --Willscrlt (Talk) 00:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I really like it but i thing it should be green and blue to be more inline with other logos.
I don't mean any offense, but the color scheme here is really awful. It hurts my eyes just to look at it. Maybe shift it more towards light blue, I guess?
I prefer B1 than B2. However, the book-like shapes need to be apparent more via being drawn lines in the shapes. --린눈라단 (talk) 17:19, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alt color suggestion: bluish colors (such as #476F9A) as a counterpart of thr "orange" part. The yellow part's alt counterpart might be greenish colors. --린눈라단 (talk) 17:28, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To visualize, - #476F9A. --린눈라단 (talk) 17:30, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Previous discussion

I like this logo the best of all the submissions, and I'm happy about the vibrant red-orange-yellow colorscheme of it. It's fun and iconic, although it might be a little better to find some kind of way to include books or children or something into it (although if that's not possible, no worries). --Whiteknight (meta) (Books) 02:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, this is a nice one. I think the J in WikiJunior needs to be a lower-case j though. – Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 00:50, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I really like this logo. It is both simple and complex at the same time. I'm not so sure mike as to whether or not the j should be in upper or lower case. I quite like the uppercase version, though perhaps a variant with the j in lowercase couls be produced for comparison? Reece (Talk) (Wikibooks) 21:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Best. Keep uppercase. --198.185.18.207 15:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I like this one the most. It's bright and cheerful and not boring like most Wiki logos. (Xania from Wikibooks English) --217.202.128.117 00:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Confused. What has three tables in a board room got to do with Wikijunior? Suitable for WikiManagement but otherwise thumbs down. SunCreator 14:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I like it, it has been well done, and the color cominatiosn are fun to look at, although don't really know what the symblo really means, i could be a little more obvious. definitely upper cases for the firslatters of each word.--Afa86 17:40, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I like the logo B1, but yellow makes aggressive, I think a blue tone is better. Blue relaxes, especially important for children. --Jean11 (talk) 17:46, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
