The following conversation is taken from Wikivoyage/Logo 2013/Submissions#Option 28 - V for voyage:

The logo shows 3 colored pieces that forms a globe and a "V" for voyage. Giweddah

I really like this one! --Stryn (talk) 14:13, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the V is not used in all of the languages that Wikivoyage covers. Therefore, in half the world, it will just be two lines and a circle... Nick1372 (talk) 15:14, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but this is still nice. --Stryn (talk) 16:19, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think, it is not a big problem. VW, Mazda or Lexus sell cars in China and no one there can read the letters (VW, M, L) in the logos. A logo has to be unique and simple but not necessarily readable. Giweddah

I share Nick's concern, though--I think we should be an assertively multilingual project. Also, would you mind experimenting a bit with the colors. It's a little sad to see the Meta logo colors used in so many submissions! But yes, otherwise a nice, clean logo ;) --Peter ^Talk 18:21, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clean and nice as a logo should be. I don't see as a problem the presence of latin characters, an infinity of global successful logo have. --Andyrom75 (talk) 21:02, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a sidenote, I believe that Japanese pupils learn the Latin alphabet at school, so it is not true to say "no one there can read the letters". There is a fair amount of Latin characters and whole words and phrases written out using them in Japanese everyday life. That said, I am with Peter and Nick.

The same for chinese pupils, AFAIK. :) --Pequod76^(talk) 09:54, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which one is better (straight vs curves, red vs grey)? Giweddah

In my opinion #2 non both counts 81.178.173.30 12:51, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I immediately thought of the South African flag, but really it is not very much like it at all. Maybe I am biased. · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 13:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think I will submit the second one – it looks softer. And the meaning of the (second) three colors: blue stands for water/sea, green stands for (natural) land and grey stands for man-made travel destinations (e.g. Buildings, cities) Giweddah
