Wikibooks Logo Proposal D Version 10d.4b by Willscrlt (Talk). This is the full-sized version designed for use at full size (any size larger than 36x36px).

Version 10d.4a incorporates a book with a green cover and golden pages. The book is laid open, with the pages fanned out slightly. Hovering slightly above the book is a stylized globe showing generic continent and ocean shapes (to represent any portion of the Earth rather than a specific region); the globe uses a gradient for a realistic curved effect. The full version also incorporates the "WIKIBOOKS" wordmark as an integrated element below the book. Below the wordmark is room for the localized name of each project (e.g., "in English"). In the proposal, the wordmark uses the DejaVu Sans Bold font and the localized name uses the Georgia font (both freely available), and all text has been converted to paths for portability. The wordmark and localized name are omitted from the small "favicon" version for clarity at small sizes.

Changes since 10d.3a:

• File size reduced from 61K to 55K
• The ocean blues were darkened; the land greens were lightened (reverse of the previous version)
• The gradients were much more carefully applied to create very smooth transitions for a more rounded look and better perspective

This proposal is the culmination of efforts of several people and the suggestions of many others. Key among the contributors are:

• Darklama for the original Image:Wikibooks_green_open_book3.svg logo idea
• Risk for the color scheme in Image:Wikibooks logoproposal.Risk.BlueOrange4.svg
• Willscrlt for the combination of those two ideas and Image:Wikibooks D10d.svg
• OnkelDagobert for globe and page shape changes in Image:Wikibooks D10d edit2.svg
• Willscrlt for further refinements, including vector path smoothing and simplification, conversion to standard web-safe colors, and overall file size reductions.

Wikibooks logo proposals

Voting on the Wikibooks Logo proposals has ended. These logos were created as proposals for a new Wikibooks logo; however, none of these logos were selected. The final selection was one that had received very little interest until I revived it and featured it, giving it more exposure. I'm happy that I directly influenced the new logo, even if none of my own logo submissions were chosen. :-)

These logos were part of Proposal D, Version 10.x:
