Geddon Logo..

Postby Sir Cairbre » Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:04 pm

Looks like we need a new logo.

Hi Kurtis

First off, I want to tell you that the Belgeroth Wiki looks like a
great site, and we're delighted you've chosen to use MediaWiki
software as your choice of wiki software. I wish you well in this
endeavor.

I'm writing this email by suggestion of Mike Godwin, legal counsel to
the Wikimedia Foundation, after your site was brought to our attention
from an uninvolved party who confused your website for Wikipedia's.

The logo you're using for the website is a derivative of the Wikipedia
logo, a trademark owned by the Wikimedia Foundation. We appreciate
the recognition, you will be better off with a completely new and
unique logo of your own. The reason I am writing you is that we
believe it was not your intention to infringe on our copyrighted logo;
and we don't believe the harshness of a legal demand is necessary.

Thank you for your understanding.

Very truly yours,

Cary Bass


I removed the old one. I actually got Mike Godwin to call me and we chatted about it and everything is ok now between us. It was cool to talk to Mike Godwin.... He is the guy who first said Godwin's law...
As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.


If anyone was using the old log for a link you might want to go fix that broken link or delete the file as our logo will be changing.

For now anyone got any idea's for a new logo?

I'll see if I can come up with something.

I'm glad they were cool about it and didn't litigate first.

Come on we are talking about Wikipedia, not Dagorhir here. I think it was cool that I got to speak with an internet icon that I have read about over the years. Godwin did say he likes our wiki and thinks it is a unique and functioning product. He sends kudos to our community for having a successful open project.

Frankly I wouldn't want them to start litigation, it takes away from the funding of the wikipedia project. I already donate to wikipedia and I am sure they know , Cary knew I had a login on wikipedia & about my 2 other wiki projects, so I am sure that they did some research before sending an E-mail. They knew they would just be shooting themselves in the foot and wasting money. I guess the lesson is don't mess with the people who truely support you because it turns out they are your friends and don't have problems with things like dumb logo's that took 10 minutes to put together with GIMP.

It's probably better off. We have a chance to use something that symbolizes fighters coming together to protect our great people of Belegarth.

I'll get started right away.

Thanks SPIKE! you rock. I can't believe I saved the original layered file, made replacing the text really easy.

Keep the idea's coming people!

I totally missed that one until Chicken PM'd me. I think it is pretty funny. I guess my mind has been all about data the last few months instead of internet smuttery.

Good Lulz spike so good I wonder if anyone who isn't a 4chan guy would figure it out.

Honestly, I just put it up there thinking someone would go "haha, very funny spike" and that would be the end of the joke.

Glad you have a good sense of humor about it.

Won't Big Jimmy's PM inbox be a treat when he logs in next.

On a more serious note, I've tried to come up with a couple other logos but they've mostly been garbage. I'll keep at it.

Well at first there was nothing... then BANG. and matter and energy started expanding from the center and atoms hit each other and stuck to each other started sharing electrons in a very filthy way. Next thing we know the atoms formed proteins then the proteins formed RNA and DNA strands. Then the DNA strands started to replicate. Then the relicated DNA strands started to form structures called cells. Then Cells started to group together in colonies. Some cells took on properties so other cells would have it easier. Soon the cells became plants and animals. Soon the animals got less dumb and invented foam swords, and then X or Gates and eventually the X or Gates became calculators. Then eventually the calculators became World of Warcraft and then 2 expansion sets came out and over a 100 million of the creatures were addicted.

That is about where we are so far. If you want more detail read: http://en.wikipedia.org until you have read it all.
