Very nice, clean, simple concept. May I suggest double brackets instead of single? In keeping with the double-bracket Wiki concept. I uploaded my revised sample. —Pacific1982 —Preceding undated comment added 19:01, 15 August 2003 (UTC).
Thanks, I thought about it, but I thought it might look too cluttered. I was trying to draw it as quickly as possible while at work, so I didn't try lots of things. Your version looks better... the double brackets look like hair (if you squint hard enough!) --Antiquark — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.66.20.25 (talk) 20:07, 15 August 2003 (UTC)
One more version with the required text. I used a character set (Greek) that's associated with science and ancient history. --Antiquark —Preceding undated comment added 02:45, 16 August 2003 (UTC).
- That looks cool :) —Pacific1982 — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.43.233.89 (talk) 03:44, 16 August 2003 (UTC)
I like the "b" version; it should still work in a monochrome environment.
I find pseudo-Greek (or pseudo-cyrillic) to be intellectually irritating. The Greek ρ should never be treated as a p. Eclecticology 00:14, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I worried a bit about the pseudogreek, but I was able to rationalize it by thinking of the Greek text as a stylized English font. Anyways, I posted another version: 100% phonetic Greek. You have Alpha, you have Omega, and a bunch of stuff in between. AFAIK, the pronunciation is roughly correct if you follow the classical Greek, not modern, pronunciation. Link: Greek Phonetics. Since the Greek alphabet is universally recognized (by scholarly types, at least) the pure Greek Wikipedia text should be phonetically pronounceable everywhere. --Antiquark —Preceding undated comment added 15:08, 19 August 2003 (UTC).
Infinity? Great! But maybe cut that smiley and the 50s psychedelic colors. --Menchi 09:02, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Is it a smiley face... or is it... A BOWL OF INFINITY???
As for the colours, that conveys the idea that Wikipedia covers the spectrum.

Omega to Alpha is very nice... but will there also be the name of the Encyclopedia in the local language (eg English?). I think that's a backdraw: the name is in it, but you can't count on people being able to read it. Renke —Preceding undated comment added 22:32, 27 August 2003 (UTC).
