Wikivoyage/Logo/2013/R1/v/Suitcase with means of travel.svg
Mimarik: Means of transport - This logo shows three means of transport: aeroplane, bus and ship. Ship is blue, as water is blue. Bus (I thought about a car first, but I think the bus is "more community" mean of transport, as Wikivoyage is a community peoject) is green, as grass on land is green. And aeroplane is red because red is just last color recommended by Wikimedia Foundation Design., Suitcase with means of travel.svg

Comments [edit]
The following conversation is taken from Wikivoyage/Logo 2013/Submissions#Option 30 - Means of transport:
Nice concept. I like the ship and the bus. My problem is with the plane. It's really an unappealing shape. Can you just change that? In addition, please do not limit yourself to WMF colors!! There are so many other colors that would look better, and we want to show uniqueness in our logo. Nick1372 (talk) 22:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- I just don't know what colors to use! Has anybody an opinion? --Mimarik 17:00, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- Ask for help on the en:Portal:Color. Cantons-de-l'Est (talk) 02:30, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- I have an idea for the colors. Can you try this for the plane, this for the bus, and this for the ship? Each recalls where each mode of transportation is used (sky, land, ocean), yet share a primary color to show how they're all connected. Nick1372 (talk) 04:49, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- What does it mean when you say "primary color"? Background? Color inside suitcase? --Mimarik (talk) 18:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, I meant that using the colors of dark green, light blue, and blue-green are similar colors, binding them together. It doesn't need a background color. Nick1372 (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

- half of the icons of Wikimedia projects (including Wikidata and Wikispecies) uses the same colors. And Wikivoyage is a Wikimedia project. What's wrong with it? Logos: http://www.wikimedia.org Giweddah
- I agree. Good reason to use WMF colors. --Mimarik (talk) 18:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- With the exception of Wikispecies (which uses muted versions of the usual RGB), all of the projects that use the RGB colors are meta-projects, not projects that end users use. LtPowers (talk) 19:40, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Most people haven't a clue what the Wikimedia Foundation is. If non-users have ventured into the MetaWiki site (or any other meta project) , they were probably very confused (as I was when I first became a user). If Wikivoyage were to have the same colors, they might recall those feelings of confusion and decide it wouldn't be worth the trouble to explore Wikivoyage. Nick1372 (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- This submission is interesting but somehow seems a little busy to me, probably because there are three many means of transport that seem too close to each other for my taste. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:34, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- I agree, a bit too busy. However, the ones with windows are much clearer than the ones without (especially the train becomes hard to recognize). At the same time, leaving out the suitcase helps too. Effeietsanders (talk) 11:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
