Description Waldir 2012-08-31 15:08:01 UTC
A comment in a Quora answer [1] let me to realize that the disposition of logos at wikimedia.org could be made more intuitive. Currently, the WMF logo is presented in the same fashion as the content projects, which is both misleading and hindering of its identification as a separate type of entity on that page.

I believe having it in the footer (in a smaller size, by the way) could provide a more intuitive perception of its nature. Probably accompanied by a text saying something like "The Wikimedia projects are operated/hosted/maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation". The expression Wikimedia Foundation, as well as the logo, should be a link to wikimediafoundation.org, and the text can be a little "greyed out" to distinguish from the mission statement.

[ Adding 'design' keyword to get feedback from designers. ]
Comment 2 Glaisher 2014-11-04 15:00:15 UTC
wikimedia.org's (and other [[m:project portals]]') design is managed on Meta. 

You can find the HTML for www.wikimedia.org at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikimedia.org_template>.

Please suggest the changes on the talk page.
