I don't like the person icon. They're all men, and it looks like a sign for the door of some sort of geek toilet. I do the like the composition, however. The border is very bold, just replace people. CGS 22:49, 10 Aug 2003 (UTC).

I don't like the computer icon. They're all Wintel, and it looks like a sign for the door of some sort of Microsoft restroom. I do like the composition, however. The border is very solid, just replace the computers with G4's. 12.207.166.232 00:14, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I agree. It looks like a bathroom sign done on some mid-80s computer when a few crude icons were cutting-edge graphics. Yes, the logo should represent the contributions of people from everywhere made possible by the 'net, but monochromatic icons from the PowerPoint clip art collection looks hackneyed no matter what you want it to represent. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 171.75.35.106 (talk) 01:10, 17 August 2003 (UTC)Reply

Now that I'm thinking about it. What about short people? There aren't any short people represented, and what if the Bushmen of the Kalahari were to see this and protest, hey, where are all the short people? We're short, but these icons are all tall. I say give some of them spears. 12.207.166.232 00:23, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Nonsense -- they're all short people! --Brion VIBBER 07:35, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC)
They're only twice as tall as the computers... → SeeSchloß —Preceding undated comment added 10:52, 13 August 2003 (UTC).Reply
Seriously, the people are represented by a symbol very widely associated with men, specifically, to the exclusion of women. That does give the wrong message... --203.45.9.34 06:45, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)


Hmmm... There are eight people, but only three of them have computers. What are the other five doing here? They seem to serve no purpose, and clutter the design. // Stygian — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.245.147.16 (talk) 15:58, 11 August 2003 (UTC)Reply

Cool design, maybe the people could be reduced to dots/bullets. -- 132.230.104.24 11:05, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)
