Domins Pizza: History of Wikipedia's logo

Wikipedia was created by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. They lunched wikipedia on January 15 2001. There first logo was short lived. Changed the first logo in the same year Wikipedia was launched. Wikipedia's second logo was used in 2001 to 2003 properly doing it's job of representing Wikipedia. A international contest held from July 20 to August 27 2003, gathering 150 proposals. After the early proposal by Chuck Smith on October 12, 2002, the contest was first proposed on June 14, 2003 by Erik Moeller, who argued that the logo (adopted in January 2002 from the Logo suggestions) was unaesthetic, not international, and portrayed a text-only Wikipedia.
The winner was Paul Stansifer and his design was the best fit for Wikipedia, but some changes was needed. After remodeling Paul Stansifer's Wikipedia's logo the official Third Wikipedia logo was created. By 2007, users discovered that the logo had some minor errors. The errors were not immediately fixed, because, according to Friedland, he could not locate the original project file. Friedland added that "I have tried to reconstruct it, but it never looks right" and that the logo "should be redrawn by a professional illustrator." Kizu Naoko, a Wikipedian, said that most Japanese users supported correcting the errors. In an e-mail to Noam Cohen of The New York Times, Kizu said that "It could be an option to leave them as they are. Most people don't take it serious and think the graphical logo is a sort of pot-au-feu of various letters without meaning."
