Not the WN logo; drop caps.

File renames are done on Wikimedia Commons. Here it is about updating logo, content; eventual objections can be talked on Wikinews.

This logo has hard drop shadows; a logo should not have drop shadows as it then requires both a positive and negative version. (The currently used .png also has a form of drop shadow, but less obtrusive.)

This logo also uses the 2006 "light weight" font. Not sure that is used on any WMF logo any more.

But none of this should be on Phab. This should be on-wiki.

I would rather like a logo which won't make me wonder if it was UN's logo or Wikinews'. Just because it was not updated for years is not good enough to update adding shadows or complex gradients.

@Acagastya: Discussing your personal preferences is out of scope here and does not bring the discussion forward. Feel free to discuss on-wiki instead.

Phab isn't the best place for this task.

Phab is the correct place for tracking and planning the actual performance of such a technical task.
Whether the task should be performed should be discussed and agreed on on-wiki, preferably before creating the task.

It should be on meta -- or local wiki. And currently, a discussion at English Wikinews' water cooler is going on.
