We all know that Nalos used MS Paint, but his logos don't look it. That's why we don't criticise him for not using a professional program. (I don't think anyone's actually used a professional program yet.) --{{User:Y2K/sig}} 22:58, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

:::Skully uses The Gimp on special occasions. {{User:Lemon Demon43/sig}} 23:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
::::If I wanted to make a logo I'd use The GIMP, but I have no ideas. (Don't bother giving me any; that's plagiarism.) --{{User:Y2K/sig}} 23:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
::If somebody lets you use their idea with their permission, and/or if you cite it, you can use things without being plagiarized. DUH! {{User:Chaosvii7/Sig}} 23:18, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

=== Result ===
I must say I'm surprised at the large number of logos people are creating. I've gone and added 6 new logos to the rotation; that's not to say that the other logos are complete crap and will never be used, but these are the ones that stood out to me. The new logos are:
# TheDenzel's video game logo
# Im a bell's logo
# JCM's clamburger logo
# Nalos' bear logo
# Nalos' duck logo
# Zoo977's logo

And now for some comments on some other logos:
# Mtp1997's logo was very close to being accepted, but the "your picture goes here" text screams "default font". If the font was changed to something different it would most likely be better.
# JCM's other logo wasn't chosen as TheDenzel has stated the he doesn't want his image in a logo. If this changes at any stage, the logo will have a better chance.
# Remember to keep to 150 x 150. TheDenzel's current The Cheat logo is slightly bigger than this and part of the logo is cut off as a result (if you want to fix this, Denzel, just stick the new version on this page)
# Sephiroth: fancy graphics and 'WUW' a good logo do not make. I was close to choosing your last logo, but I felt that Nalos did the whole rainbow thing a bit better.
# Skullbuggy's logo had a good idea but could be improved if it was somehow made more relevant to the WUW and if the yellow was made transparent (to account for any future background changes).
# TheDenzel's other logo was considered but I decided it was either that one or the video game one (the video game one won out). Maybe it could be fancied up or something, I don't know.
# Remember that it's always preferable to have "Wiki User Wiki" in full as opposed to "WUW" except where style allows in very exceptional cases (such as Nalos' MSpainty logos and TheDenzel's video game logo). It also seems like "A wiki for the users!" has become the de facto motto for the wiki so feel free to use that.
# I'm going to go through the logo rotation at some stage and make sure they all have borders where appropriate: generally a border makes the logo look way better, so stick borders on any future logos so I don't have to do it. Of course, if you think it looks fine without the border, that's okay too: if I think it needs a border I'll just cram it on later.
# NachoMan: get out.

Anyway, keep those logos coming: I do check here quite regularly so don't be fooled into thinking that I never look here ever. (The suggestion box is another matter, however.) - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 13:22, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
:Are you serious about my last one?! That one was a joke to everyone asking for a bearhug. It was Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch. :P {{User:Sephiroth/sig}} 13:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
::Super Sam, I think my The Cheat logo is cut off as to my own failure but I'll look into it and see what's up... --{{User:TheDenzel/sig}} 00:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
::Also, I'm considering taking off my TheDenzel logo but I just want to see if TheDenzel actually wants it or not first. {{User:JCM/sig}} 01:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
::Also, I keep getting a bearhug. Where's the rotations? {{User:JCM/sig}} 01:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:::It says at the top of the screen. ''{points up}'' {{User:Lemon Demon43/sig}} 01:57, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Bah I liked Nachoman's logo put it up plz [[User:Shadow Scythe|Shadow Scythe]] 03:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

== Round 2 ==
Can I make some more logos or have I done my fair share of logo-making?{{User:Ninjaduck/sig}} 02:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:Thar be no limit to logo making. - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 03:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
So, when's the new results? {{User:JCM/sig}} 00:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
:yes comrad we all want to see doggie on the logo [[User:TheCheese|TheCheese]] 02:08, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
::Negatory. {{User:Zoo977/sig}}
:::Dasvedanya, doggie. {{User:Chaosvii7/Sig}} 02:13, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
::::YES YES LETS ALL JUST PUT ALL THE LOGOS UP BUT DOGGIE I NEED TO COOL DOWN SOMEONE BLOCK ME BEFORE I VERBALLY ASSAULT SOMEONE [[User:TheCheese|TheCheese]] 02:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

=== Result ===
So after being prompted by JCM for the second time I could no longer ignore his constant presence. Rather than doing something boring such as, say, uploading some new logos, I decided to create some sort of [[Special:Logo|futuristic logo viewer]]. Right now it's really basic and just shows you each logo along with some information but I'm hoping to expand it a bit, mostly so I can upload new logos easier. Anyway I've added three new logos, being TheDenzel's textual logo, Ninjaduck's The Cheat logo and Y2K's stop sign logo. Others I were close to choosing were:
# TheCheese's logo. Was leaning towards "yes" but then realised "what was I thinking" and leant back towards "no". Maybe public opinion could sway me back.
# JCM's Disney logo. It's off center but if you fix that there's a chance it could be used.
# JCM's pencil logo. I was going to use it until I realised how crap the pencil looks.
# Other logos that deserve mention are Ninjaduck's second logo, TheStick's logo and Im a bell's logo. I just felt something was missing from these three but couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Anyway enjoy. - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 09:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
:What about mine? {{User:Raiku/sig}} 23:17, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
::Yours was a bit too plain. - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 04:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:::How about mine? {{User:Chaosvii7/Sig}} 20:36, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
::::You made yours after I'd already done Round 2 stupid. - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 04:53, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

== Round 3 ==
* {{cross}} Sephiroth: [[wikipedia:Home Alone 2: Lost in New York|"If you can't do any better than that, kid, you're gonna lose!"]]
* {{cross}} NachoMan: Take that thing down already! IT BURNS MY EYES!!
* {{cross}} Lemon: Oh, great. More bearhugs.
* {{cross}} Killer Banana: First of all, it's not big enough. Second, everything else.
* {{cross}} Tahu: I'd tell you what Super Sam told Sephiroth if you didn't already know.
Others will be reviewed in due course. --{{User:InsanityDemon/sig}} 04:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

== Other Discussion ==

How come when I'm an IP, I can see the logo rotation just fine, but when I'm logged in, where the logos are suppost to be, there's just a blank? {{User:TheStick/sig}} 02:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
:Because Clamburger has more than two problems? {{User:Im a bell/sig}} 03:54, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
::Because you thought it would be a great idea to [[User:TheStick/monobook.css|overwrite the logo with your own]], that's why. [[Image:Grad.gif|:grad:]] - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 04:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

:Also I dont see the duck logo either.{{User:Ninjaduck/sig}} 17:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
What does off-center mean? And not one mention of my Wikipedia logo, there's something horribly wrong. {{User:JCM/sig}} 12:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
:It's not in the center. There's more blue space to the left than to the right. As for the Wikipedia one, I did consider it very briefly but decided against it because the Wikipedia globe is pretty plain and boring compared to the other logos we have. - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 13:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
::OK, I get it. I fixed the other logos so now they're perfect. {{User:JCM/sig}} 14:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Seriously, what do you think of them now? {{User:JCM/sig}} 23:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:Oh hey JCM, did you just say something - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 09:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
::Super Sam why are you not a reservist there must be some kind of mistake [[User:TheCheese|TheCheese]] 09:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that, when I use Avant instead of Firefox, each time I mouse over the logo a new one loads in place of it, and another one again when I mouse out. (I wouldn't be surprised if this happens in IE, Opera and TheWorld as well; all four of them are based on Trident.) --{{User:InsanityDemon/sig}} 05:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:I briefly tested it in IE 8 and it didn't happen (although there was another unrelated style problem), but what would have to be happening is that the image is refreshed when the mouse is moved on and off for some reason. - {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 06:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== How did... ==

Ninjaduck add to the rotation when he isn't a mod? {{User:Raiku/sig}} 18:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Bluebry1.png]] Dont worry about the size, this should be a logo {{User:Ryan Bluefox/sig}} 22:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

::Worry about the size, even though it looks vaguely like me. --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 15:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know the extension script used here to make the logos change? I'm interested in using it. --{{User:X66x66/sig}} 18:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:I created it myself. You can download it [http://wuw.clamburger.org/w/extensions/logoRotation/logoRotation.zip here]. I will offer no more assistance than what is offered in readme.txt: you're on your own! {{User:Super Sam/sig}} 12:37, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
