Hi all. It has been noted on the RfC talk page that the Wikimedia Foundation has visual identity guidelines that describe how Wikimedia trademarks should be used and altered. Per User:Mdennis (WMF): "Wikimedians are permitted to modify logos for unusual purposes on the projects themselves in accordance with the trademark policy. :) The WMF does ask that people follow the visual identity guidelines in doing so. In terms of duration, it's probably best to keep temporary fairly brief - more a matter of hours or a day than days." See the talk page for more information.

At 04:04, 10 October 2015 (UTC), a village pump thread closed with a consensus to temporarily replace Wikipedia's logo with a logo celebrating 5 million articles on the English Wikipedia once that milestone is reached. The current article count is: 6,905,239 articles. This request for comment aims to determine what logo exactly should temporarily replace the current version in accordance with the consensus.
Please only endorse one logo, although you may comment on any of them. General discussion regarding the RfC as a whole can be found on the project talk page.
Note: The deadline for the voting is when the article counter strikes 4,998,000. This will give the team of editors making the necessary preparations, about a day to fix everything in time for the big 5M. For more information please see this RfC's talk page.
To make it easier to see which logo you like the most there is a way to override the default logo. To do so go to your personal CSS and place the following code:
#p-logo a, #p-logo a:hover { background: url(insert full upload url here) 35% 50% no-repeat !important; }
If you do not have Photoshop for editing the logo, GIMP is a free and open-source alternative.
If you are submitting a new design please include the upload URL link for consideration and also add it to the gallery below. Thank you.
