All letters are used in Wikipedia transliteration (maybe some letters aren't the first letter, but still they are in the transliterations) apart from Ω. This letter isn't used at all in the greek transliteration (Βικιπαίδεια). I can only guess that the first attempts to tranlate wikipedia in greek would be ℧ικιπαίδεια=Ουικιπαίδεια a minor transliteration that isn't used. (℧ was used as ου some decades ago in greek alphabet but it is obsolete nowadays). If we want to represent the first letters of some languages then we sould replace Ω with Β. -- Περίεργος ( talk) 07:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
The article doesn't mention similarities to the Death Star at all but it's worth noting that there are currently over 8,000 Google search results for <"wikipedia logo" "death star">. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.176.153 ( talk) 10:46, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
The article says that the logo uses the Linux Libertine typeface, but this is not true. We can all see that the "W" in "WIKIPEDIA" is crossing, but the W in Linux Libertine does not cross. (I can upload a screenshot or anyone can download it if they don't have it already and see for themselves.) I'm not sure actually what typeface is used in the logo, but it looks to be some type of Garamond. Definitely not Linux Libertine though. - Helvetica ( talk) 15:58, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi everyone, is there any open 3D model that can directly be used for 3D printing the the Wikipedia logo? -- Arnd ( talk) 15:14, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
The Wikipedia logo is not presented on pages when using the MinevaNeua, Modern, and Timeless skins, and, as the official logo of the project, it probably should be. Its size can be adjusted to fit the flow of the skin, but as Wikipedia's official logo and explanatory visual metaphor it would be appropriate to show it on all skins. Maybe someone can ping those who can make the decision to show it, or would a full RfC or Village Pump discussion be the way to go (wanted to bring this here first for comments, as this may have been fully addressed before). Thanks. Randy Kryn ( talk) 11:33, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

AlexBalder01, you reverted my edit when I added short description to the article. Before you reverted my edit, I asked what was the reason for reverting. Can you explain why you reverted my edit? Short Description «None» should be on the list articles. This article is not a list. 195.5.3.58 ( talk) 16:13, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
The Wikimedia sound logo is here: File:Wikimedia Sound Logo Finalist VQ97.wav , this is supposed to be a sonic logo for all projects. Victor Grigas ( talk) 18:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

I didn't think "improval" was a real word, but Wiktionary says it's non-standard for "improvement". Shouldn't we stick to WP:FORMAL here? Muzilon ( talk) 09:24, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
In the section "second logo", the following text, supposedly describing the French logo, "golden (yellow) circle with a white dove" is placed directly below an image showing a green circle with a white dove, with the image caption claiming to depict the French logo. This is at the very least confusing, but likely it's wrong. -- 95.89.78.72 ( talk) 00:54, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
@ Mach61: Why do you consider this article overly detailed? I would agree that the section on secondary logos is, but as for the rest, I disagree. Janhrach ( talk) 18:39, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
The arabic letter ya is described as a "Yodh", which is actually a hebrew letter. It would be better to say "ya", which is what it's actually called in arabic, since "yodh" is more a general terms for a series of letters which all descended from an older script. /info/en/?search=Yodh#Arabic_y%C4%81%CA%BC Taiyaki Schizo ( talk) 16:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
