Colour could be anything that provides sufficient contrast. I like blue or green, which are particularly suitable for the negative version (white on colour or transparent on colour). · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 18:57, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
Text is optional and can be chosen by the language version. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 10:48, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- Reminds me of the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bomber too much. odder (talk) 20:52, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- It actually does look a little like that, but I don't think many people would think of that when looking at this logo. It's a bit like the w:Rorschach test. ;) If other people agree with that, though, we might want to use a different logo. PiRSquared17 (talk) 01:49, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- This invites a cease and desist from the VVV. PrinceGloria (talk) 10:45, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- Their logo is three separate V's in a triangle in a square, this is a combined W and V in a circle. colours are different and can be changed, negative version differs even more. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 08:09, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- It is also different from the Mitsubishi logo, the Volkswagen logo, the Triangle health and fitness logo, Wyoming valley anthracite logo, West Virginia University logo, VVV Venlo logo and Anton May logo. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 11:13, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- Modified logo it's definitely better that the original one. --Andyrom75 (talk) 13:02, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- I thought the simplicity of the original would be better, but now I have got used to the change I think you are right. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 13:38, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- Our current logo is far more different from the WTC logo than this one from VVV, but it still invited a cease and desist. And the new version bears even more similarity to the VVV, which was born basically of the same idea. I like it, but I would be mega-cautious. PrinceGloria (talk) 19:13, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- Legal department will make that decision I guess. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 08:48, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't like it. Very similar with WC room signs or with Volkswagen logo. Alex Spade (talk) 12:53, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- Which WC room signs would that be? · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:14, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't say, that it was WC room sign. It has similar design for me, I see in proposed logo smth like this with two changes - C on right transformed to V on bottom, or woman triangle (like here) without head. Alex Spade (talk) 16:10, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- I looked at your examples, and I don't think there is any similarity at all. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:15, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

While I like this, particularly some ideas that come to mind using the very simple and stylized version in the first thumb, I share some worries about its similarity to other logos. In particular, the versions with the components separated a bit remind a lot of the Volkswagen logo. The other issue is that the WV initials don't apply to many language versions both currently and going forward. But if the logo is sufficiently abstracted, that is less of an issue. --Peter Talk 19:23, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- My imediate first thought when seeing this one was the sports teams of the University of West Virginia. I'm not versed enough in the law to know if it is close enough to matter, though. (Aside, the problems mentioned elsewhere about this one not being logical for non-latin script projects holds here.) Courcelles 03:00, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- I also had the VVV association immediately. --Danapit (talk) 13:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
