In my opinion the puzzle logo should be used as the main logo, as it is a lot more visually appealing than the other one, and it gives some sort of a connection to Wikipedia. It would also give the project a "fresh look". --Footyfanatic3000 ^{(talk · contribs)} 19:58, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't an election without Mr. Kohs in it. bibliomaniac 1 5 04:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think all wikimedia project logos should use a puzzle theme and the same font KlokkoVanDenBerg (talk) 10:54, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in the vote, the winner here is pretty much unusable as a logo: it works well in big scale (like on this page), but doesn't work in small scale at all. Too much little details, too much scales of gray. The Scrabble piece logo concept would have worked much better in smaller scale and it's easier to localise. I'm also a bit annoyed that the final decision is still a loooong time in the future - but fortunately, on the other hand (with no offence to the fine designer intended) the somewhat unusable logo can still be caught between the cogs of the giant bureaucracy of ours and get torn to shreds. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So use the single floating piece, or use a big W. My (minor) issue is that only some of the puzzle pieces have letters on them. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 18:59, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are letters in the puzzle pieces? (goes look at the full-size image for the first time) Wow, I honestly couldn't tell - All through the voting, I could only see the logo in tiny size, or like in this page, where it's shown approximately in the size it would be shown in wiki top-left-corner logos. If I need to see the thing in full size to get the point, there are some problems to be dealt with. Perhaps the logo should be scaled down for different sizes so that the rest of the logo is scaled down while the puzzle page remains about the same size? As it is, the puzzle thing doesn't work in small sizes at all, not even in wiki-logo sizes, which is crucial. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 20:28, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
