@Kaldari: uploaded a new version of File:Wiki.png today. I don't like it. In fact, I thought it was vandalism at first. Can we get this reverted?

I like the idea of using special logos for special milestones and/or events and so on, but maybe it should be discussed first.

It would be OK if it was explained somewhere... Most folks won't get such tech-jokes and therefore mistake them for vandalism or at least for a bad joke.

And this logo was used on https://www.wikimedia.org too until a few minutes ago ... I'm also not completely against changing logos for special occassions but there is no explanation about why it was changed.. I've checked various places but I still can't find anything about this.

Thanks, it has been reverted now. Apparently, people came over to #mediawiki wondering whether the site was hacked.. Unfortunately, as Patrick said above, most users won't get such jokes. :/
