Wikipedia/Logo

• See w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia logos
• See foundation:Visual identity guidelines
• Blender Artists discussion on the logo

The puzzle logo includes 16 letters (graphemes) from 16 different alphabets, many of which — but not all — represent a letter from that alphabet that most closely resembles the English "W", as in "Wikipedia". The alphabets represented are as follows:

It has been suggested that some of these characters should be changed to reflect the actual spellings of "Wikipedia" in various languages. See Errors in the Wikipedia logo.

• The final proposal at Errors in the Wikipedia logo used the first character(s) in the Word Wikipedia in a native language using that script, and was as follows:

See also Wikipedia in other languages These are characters not represented in the above proposal, but still should be on the logo. We currently have Wikipedias in these languages, using these writing systems (notable exceptions include Javanese Wikipedia, which currently uses only Latin script, but is working toward making Javanese script available). They do not include different initial letters using the same writing systems (Cyrillic, Roman) which may be addressed in a later section. These characters will be placed on the additional puzzle pieces.

Latest updates at commons:Wikipedia/2.0

Each puzzle piece will be coded with a unique character. Current prevailing thought is that prominent pieces are more active Wikipedias (with a slight bias against the numerous scripts of the Indian subcontinent to prevent overwhelming from one specific area). Less prominent pieces will be smaller Wikipedias with the remainder of existing pieces for possible future Wikipedia character sets and letters in existing character sets representing Wikipedias that use different letters like Latin "U", "V" and Cyrillic "У". "Missing" pieces on the top of the globe may consist of characters for fantasy and archaic languages which will unlikely ever have active projects, like Klingon lettering and Hieroglyphics.

Though not formally used, theses logos may be historically interesting.
