I certainly don't have all the answers :-) But when I have seen you raising
the logo issue on this list, I have thought it would be good to let you know
about the ongoing works. I have talked about the works from the marketing
committee. Robert has mentioned Erik's proposal; they are not contrary, but
they both show there are global ongoing discussions whose conclusions will
impact the visual identity of all projects, including Wikibooks. In my
humble opinion, both our work and Erik's proposal should encourage you to
wait a little :-)

rules change soon.
