To be fair, Wikipedia already uses a "W" as its favicon in every locale (even for languages with non-Latin scripts, like Japanese and Arabic): http://ja.wikipe

- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoNew is New's idea is just to trash the well-recognisable wikipedia W, and replace it with a new one, with no good reason. And trash the icons for the various Wikimedia projects.
- jpadkins 14y agopeople who get paid for coming up with new icons and logo's are going to create new logos and icons.. it's what they do. Is there every a "reason" to create new logo's or icons? Other than someone feels a new for a new or fresh look...
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoWell, sometimes companies feel their current logo is too out of date and they want to change it. Or sometimes companies rebrand completely, sometimes because of a shift of focus. (A company I know about shifted from discrete software to B2B software and changed its branding in the process)
- chris_wot 14y agoA legitimate reason is when a company or organisation changes significantly. Wikipedia changes remarkably over time, but does it incrementally. Logo change is neither sensible or required.
