Thread:Talk:Amsterdam Hackathon 2013/Proposal for name and logo/reply (12)

My 2 cents:


 * Visual identity: +1 for the Puzzle theme and Tech and everything but not the sunflower. The sunflower doesn't seem at all related to technology, especially when pulling it out of the "  bracket  " context. I'd say either use the MediaWiki logo as part of it, or not at all (but not just the sunflower). Actually, though it may have been a good logo for MediaWiki (though maybe not even that), remember that in MediaWiki the logo is for users, not developers.
 * Naming: Using the Wikipedia brand does sound better, though Wikimedia is getting more known in the public and probably good enough for this purpose. I wouldn't recommend calling it "MediaWiki Hackathon" since that's both too narrow and too unknown a term. +1 for Wikimedia as part of the name (be it Wikimedia Hackathon, Wikimedia developer meeting or something else entirely).



Also, if we call it "Wikimedia (something)" we might want to consider not creating a separate logo but putting it in the Wikimedia family (like chapters and various other initiatives).
