Given the wide-ranging and completely irresolvable opinions on this logo just in the first 12 hours of this thread — not quite sure what to do with user:Imamadmad's disdain for the "data c re" font next to Tardis1963's approval — it's clear that we're probably going to be going through a few more iterations. However, it's equally clear that no one would be able to deliver a logo that's completely satisfactory to everyone.

This therefore brings to mind two notions that we need to have going forward:

• The logo used on the user talk welcome messages will now be changed, by bot, to file:Wiki-wordmark.png. That way, as the logo changes, the welcome message will always contain the latest version. Due to the fact that welcome messages are usually substituted rather than transcluded, you may well receive a somewhat false "you have a hypercube" message.
• The logo will be finalised by 1 February at the latest. If there's no consensus by that date, I will declare "no consensus", and pick one out of necessity. As has already been demonstrated in the discussion that created the current version, I will take on board your suggestions, but I can't do so infinitely. If you want to shape the logo, speak up and speak quickly.
