International logo contest/Results

historical pages 2003 Wikipedia international logo contest (ballot results)
This was an international contest held from July 20 to August 27 2003, gathering 150 proposals. After the early proposal by Chuck Smith on October 12, 2002, the contest was first proposed on June 14, 2003 by Erik Moeller, who argued that the logo (adopted in January 2002 from the Logo suggestions) was unaesthetic, not international, and portrayed a text-only Wikipedia.


The international logo contest is (almost) over - thanks for participating! The final step is for all Wikipedias to ratify the new logo. Please add a quick yes/no vote to International logo contest/Ratification.

For your reference, here is the list of finalists, and here is the archive of all logos. Here is the Ballot.

Discarded ballots can be found on International logo vote/Invalid ballots. Most of them lacked a pointer to a Wikipedia user account.
