Update the WMDE technical wishes logo to reflect the current MediaWiki logo
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

The current one is beautiful but it's based on the old mediawiki logo, Is there a way and time for this to be updated to reflect the new logo? (See also T279087: Update the logo for wikitech.wikimedia.org to mirror the new MediaWiki logo)

Event Timeline

Thanks @Ladsgroup, we do plan to review our logo, but want to keep an open mind and consider all possibilities (including, for example, a logo not tied so closely to the MediaWiki logo). We want to give it the time/attention that requires, so will do this when it's possible to invest that time from a planning perspective. Most likely it will not happen before the middle of the year. We will keep you posted!

Sounds good to me. Just putting this on your radar.

@Izno: Can you explain why you unlinked this? Without this work being done we've not rolled out the new logo of MediaWiki everywhere…

The parent is closed. If you don't think the work is done, you should reopen the parent.

And yet.

It's been almost two years now. Can you please do something about this?

@Ladsgroup thanks for the ping. Though we are aware that it's outdated, unfortunately, this is not a priority for us currently when compared to our core work to improve MediaWiki and considering our limited resources (particularly on the design side). As I said, we are not set on keeping the MediaWiki logo in our logo and a redesign might result in something completely different, so I don't believe it needs to block you from closing this ticket (or I'm happy to decline it if you prefer) or the parent ticket. We're keeping track of the task to redesign the TechWish logo in our planning backlog.
