I don't particularly like the recent alternative
suggestions, the "w" is either getting unwieldy or too wide, losing its original
impact, and I'd drop my +1 for it in those cases.
To add my "hack", what if:
a) the "X" was made bigger and put "behind" the "Wiki"
part
b) the "w" was a full W (straighter, not spread out)
c) the "k" was a full k (add the vertical line)
... then it might be more readable while still retaining a logo quality?
I didn't vote for 4 because I agree with some others: a) the pencils do imply drawing
more than collaborative writing; b) it seems to be lacking that "professional"
logo quality.
But maybe we're forcing something that
shouldn't be forced. Could it be that *none* of the proposed logos fit what
you're after, and we're just choosing from the best options presented?
I'm looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X and
http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/09/index.html . There are some X
representations which could have been the starting point for the XWiki
logo (e.g. the Egyptian hieroglyph "column", Phoenician S, Greek Xi,
Braille or Morse code for X). I would have liked to see a logo proposal
consisting of an easy to remember symbol that is not visually related to
the latin X, even if it didn't had a lot of meaning.
Thanks,

Hi all,
How about this alternative:

I think that the W is readable now.
