Failing to be positive, we can at least say that the reception is unanimous. The Wikimedia Foundation was proud to present on its blog the new logo of the encyclopedia. We understand why, given the circumstances of makeover of logo was modeled by a professional 3D animator, art director and graphic designer in San Francisco, Philip Metschan. He previously worked for the special effects company Industrial Light & Magic and Pixar, but it takes more than a resume to impress the intractable.
Because this is the era of the revolution the logo doesn’t fit into the present scenario. Logo reviews of Wikipedia as the moon, we see usually one and the same face … And yet they turn! Did you know that this fascinating phenomenon is called synchronous rotation? It takes many days to turn on itself as to make one revolution around the Earth. Many part of the silver globe still escapes our eyes. There would have been many logo ideas to choose from and yet they chose this.
Past the fear that grips us before this ridiculously hollow inside, it turns out that each piece of the puzzle represents something. Each letter on the puzzle is a different alphabet. Since Wikipedia is the only encyclopedia available in different languages then they have used their strength to represent in their logo. It says a special page of Wikipedia most of them but not all are the letter of the alphabet that corresponds most closely to the “W” in English, as in “Wikipedia”. We find therefore characters in Greek, Cyrillic, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, Tibetan, etc. But, how many of us would actually notice them and figure out the meaning of those symbols. Most of us don’t even know why they exist on the logo puzzles.
A fabricated Story
It would have been so much easier if the logo of Wikipedia had represented a stupid sunflower… Do not laugh, it has played little! The spherical puzzle that seems to have represented Wikipedia since the dawn of time did not appear until 2003, after winning the International logo contest organized by Wikipedia.
The logo design reviews in 3D suffers so badly as compared with the careful and participatory development of the original model. But the Wikimedia Foundation is not deaf so they provided and responded to criticism by proposing some improvements in sharpness and contrast. The latest version is visible and we can see that there is clearly a step forward, but it is still much worse than the old version.
