• Looked cute to me. couple of suggestions for improvement. Use India National Flag colors. Suggest abbreviating the conf to WikiConf, as too much text may make it unreadaable from a distance and not attractive. Arjunaraoc 16:42, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
• I like this, specially if the colors were in Indian Tricolors Mokshjuneja 21:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
• Relatively better than other two logos, however looking forward for more designs (Was planning to make one by my own) EnSYS

Design Five

WikiConfIndia 1 WikiConfIndia 1 tricolour

• Could this be done with the left face in saffron, circle with blue edge and white fill and right face with green? AshLin 18:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
• @AshLin > Tried it but doesn't work as well IMHO. Nevertheless, am asking Shekhar to upload it so you can judge. Arvind Lodaya, 08:46, 27 June 2011 (IST)
• Arvind sent me this new variation WikiConfIndia 5 , but I believe it is of Design Five, not Design Eight. Shekhar Krishnan 17:39, 27 June 2011 (IST)
• @AshLin and Shekhar, I updated it, the tricolour version is where it should be! Arvind Lodaya, 18:10, 27 June 2011 (IST)

• Thanks, it looks nice but the one I voted for seems classier. AshLin 16:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

• Dont know how it will work - maybe changing the background to black and the black to white may look better. AroundTheGlobe 06:02, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

• The design is interesting...has a 'desi' flavour but the 'WikiConference india" text is a distracting font. Would be more effective if the text was in some simple bold non serif font like in the logos on http://www.wikimedia.org/. Also the text in one straight line so it anchors the design on some base line. If the whole logo has 2 by 3 (2 height by 3 breadth) proportion will suit most publication options including TV.

• Just to inform you, the Indian tricolour has Navy Blue in the chakra, not black, you may like to replace the colour. AshLin 16:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

• @AroundTheGlobe: I think not, this would work fine in terms of colour. @#2: Can look at other fonts, and also arranging name in a single straight line and 2x3 proportion (I was mainly looking at webpage layout fitting). @AshLin: I tried blue but it suddenly dilutes the visual impact of the logo. I can show you with blue, but IMHO black is the most striking option. ~Arvind
