Logo for Wikipedia app isn't right
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The W logo being used for the Wikipedia app looks like an imposter logo. I know the Wikipedia W, and this is definitely not it. This one is wider, the angle of the stems is wrong, the caps are flat instead of concave. Please use the real Wikipedia W :)

The logos look correct to me. This is the real Wikipedia logo 2.0:

and these are the logos featured in the iOS app:

applogo.png (1×1 px, 41 KB)
The official logo is taken from the Wikimedia Commons page (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/2.0) and the iOS logos are from the app sources (http://git.wikimedia.org/summary/apps%2Fios%2Fwikipedia.git in /wikipedia/Images/ and /wikipedia/Images.xcassets/)

As far as we're aware, this is correct. So, I'm marking this as stalled. @Vibhabamba can comment and either close as invalid (if the icon is correct), or reopen and tell us which new icon to use (if the icon is incorrect).

@kaldari if that explanation is sufficient can you close this?

No response… closing as resolved
