L. Shyamal: Feet - Logo is based on the primitivity primality (thanks AshLin) of feet in travel placed on a globe with some jut, here not accurately placed but could be designed with more geometrical accuracy and suggesting the same jigsaw theme of Wikipedia and using the same colour scheme (not adjusted exactly in the first version). Variants based on this can be considered.

My logo is based on the primitivity primality (thanks en:User:AshLin) of feet in travel placed on a globe with some jut, here not accurately placed but could be designed with more geometrical accuracy and suggesting the same jigsaw theme of Wikipedia and using the same colour scheme (not adjusted exactly in the first version). Variants based on this can be considered. Shyamal (talk) 05:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I like it. Give us an example without the grey disc. It might be a more powerful image. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 15:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Have added two other variants. Shyamal (talk)
Versions 2 and 3 are very much like a logo that I saw on a google search for "Footprints logo", so may be a Copyvio or TM issue. 4 is OK, but would still like to see a clean version of the first with only the footprints.
The original version is evocative of going out in various directions from a centre, it is fresh and dynamic, whereas the others all suggest a circularity of motion. I think an outward looking logo is most appropriate to our project. There is no need to dilute the message with any circular component.
The grey disc will reduce legibility in greyscale and B&W. A simple clean graphic works best as an icon. First version without circle has potential for all these things. Try icons at 16 or 20px to see what I mean. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:06, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Added simple version. Shyamal (talk) 07:31, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I think it is the best of the variants. Crisp and clean and most clear at small sizes. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 08:41, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Very nice and original. My favourite is #4. That said, it doesn't recall me a "voyage". --Andyrom75 (talk) 12:31, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Good idea on the whole, but small icons is very muddy. May be, it is possible to use only one feet for small variant (heel is green, toes are red or smth like this). Alex Spade (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I like version 3, clean work.--Patafisik (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Love version 4! It also looks good when shrunk... sort of like a rattan ball! Pratyeka (talk) 03:57, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
