Project:Proposal for changing logo of MediaWiki, 2020/Round 1

The current logo of MediaWiki was adapted slightly more than fifteen years ago and hasn’t changed since. This logo despite having the nice concept of sunflower, is old. The sunflower represents the diversity, the constant growth and also the wildness.

Among its biggest issues I can point out that it’s a bitmap picture so it’s unusable in large sizes (like large posters) and it’s too realistic making it unusable in small sizes.

Most, virtually all, software products use a simpler and more abstract form. For example, docker, kubernetes, Ubuntu, VueJs, React, Apache Kafka, and many more. It’s a good time for MediaWiki to follow suit.

My request is for changing the logo of MediaWiki and I have no plans or interest in changing logo of any other project.

Please show your support, oppose or your comments for proposals below. You can also add more suggestions.

Proposal one
Since I’m not a designer, I asked several designers and Nirzar kindly accepted to design the new logo and other designers took a pass on it and refined it. This is that logo.

 * I'm not sure I'm a fan of how it looks when its small. Bawolff (talk) 01:06, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe it would be worth trying to make the middle a bit brighter? In the final version, the sunflower should also be centered properly. --MGChecker (talk) 01:10, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * . I've never liked this version of the sunflower. I don't think the complex sunflower image works when turned non-photorealistic Bawolff (talk) 01:00, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I don't think the logo pictured here is the current logo. The petals look weird relative to File:MediaWiki logo without tagline.png. The lack of high resolution in the official one is very unfortunate... Bawolff (talk) 01:04, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * hmm, now searching I got File:MediaWiki-notext.svg from Logo. Does that sound better? Ladsgroup (talk) 01:14, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
