Project Logo
Right now we are using the English Wikipedia logo, and that needs to change ASAP to something else. If there are any suggestions for a interim logo for Wikiversity, that would be appreciated (and no, we are not going to use the U.S. Flag like was done with Wikipedia). --Robert Horning 14:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded the one on the right Wikiversity-logo-en.png as a temporary logo (I know it's the wrong message and it's crap, but it's better than the Wikipedia one), but I'm trying to get a developer to add it as the logo. Cormaggio 14:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * As you may have noticed, I've uploaded the logo at the wrong size - but I can't now re-upload the re-sized image, as apparently you need to have a four-day-old account to do so. As soon as we have an admin, can s/he delete the image, and i'll re-upload the new one? Thanks. Cormaggio 14:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. Is somebody getting bureaucrat-status? -- sebmol ? 15:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I have uploaded that logo to commons; Image:Wikiversity beta.png and created commons:Category:Wikiversity --Walter 22:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

To get Wikiversity on the main portal this template needs to be updated; Www.wikimedia.org template. But maybe it is better to wait a bit for that. --Walter 22:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * For a logo how about a large magnifying glass on a piece of a computer monitor showing some cryptic math equations or pictographs? Mirwin 11:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

meta:User:Nightstallion (away for the moment) is good at arranging logo design competitions. I suggest you center it at Meta, similar to the current Wikibooks/Wiktionary discussions there. I don't like the current one, but it's OK for the moment. Dbmag9 11:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The French, German, and Swedish Wikiversities all have the same logo at present -- which is this nice amalgamated image combining the middle ages, the renaissance, and a modern guy of today. we can either affirm our solidarity with the EU (although Italy doesn't have a logo yet), and use theirs or come up with something equally complex and rich.  I like suggesting our affiliation --  albeit distant -- with the medieval university which was a bastion of learning, a refuge and repository of knowledge and an international  center for the exchange of ideas in a very chaotic and war-torn world. --Smithgrrl 00:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
