#Give the blue colour a more "wikipedian" tone, as it is now it's far too dark and stands out from the other blues of the wiki logos. Also maybe add lines or some content to the book, atm it looks like a paper aeroplane.[[Special:Contributions/90.231.60.96|90.231.60.96]] 21:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
# The detail of the world is better then the detail of the book, the design makes it hard to tell if the world is intended to be inside or on top of the book, and its hard to tell what its suppose to be at a small size. This logo is both too simple and too detailed at the same time, not a very good combination. --<span style="font: bold 10pt 'courier new', comic, sans, ms;">[[User:Darklama|<font color="midnightblue">dark</font>]][[User_talk:Darklama|<font color="green">lama</font>]]</span> 14:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

# I like this. Maybe the globe could be more transparent. IMHO it's too sharp. --[[User:Pietrodn|Pietrodn]] · [[User talk:Pietrodn|talk with me]] 13:01, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
# Change grey lines to black, reduce detail on globe, and remove the unnecessary slogan. By far the best logo.
# I agree with the raised objections to puzzle pieces from wikipedia, but thoughts on using the wikiversity-style globe in this? It's not puzzle pieces, and it's not specific to wikiversiy. --[[User:superflyguy|superflyguy]] 04:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

# I really love this logo. I agree with Pietrodn, though. The globe could have a little bit of transparency, because it is very sharp. But I love it. [[User:The Obento Musubi|The Obento Musubi]] 05:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
# Agree the logo is charming and effective.  Agree the book is a bit light and vague and the globe a bit dark and detailed.  Is anyone concerned the book looks kind of empty (except for the world popping out of it)?

# '''Oppose both''' - D and J are better options in my opinion. This one isn't bad, the others are just better choices, I think. The "too detailed" globe might be fixed by using longitudinal and latitudinal lines instead of continents. Probably 3 or 5 (at the most) in each direction; more would clutter things again. --[[User:Willscrlt|<span style="color:#4169E1;font-family:Calibri">'''Will'''<span style="color:#DC143C">scrlt</span></span>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:smaller">([[User talk:Willscrlt|<span style="color:#4169E1">Talk</span>]])</span> 20:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
# I added [[Wikibooks/Logo/Proposal/D#Version D10d - Green with a globe|'''(D10d)''']], part of [[Wikibooks/Logo/Proposal/D|Proposal D]], to this proposal, since it was inspired by this proposal and is a hybrid of the two.

# '''Oppose all''', sorry folks, I don't really like any of the 3 book images used here, and the world superimposed on them looks very obviously superimposed. Any improvement would need to bring the book and the world into more stylistic harmony --[[User:Mcld|Mcld]] 11:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
# IMHO, I don't think the logos/icons presented here capture the style or visual representation of the other Wiki- properties' icons/logos.  However, what I do like about this particular icon, aside from the black and blue globe, is that the light-grey outline of the book page somewhat resembles the letter "w".  Perhaps that logo can be redesigned to make the page outline more closely resemble the letter "w" or something along that line.  Also, someone in an older comment suggested creating a graphic of a globe constructed of books.  I had the thought of a Gutenberg Press constructed of books but with the level of detail and style of the Wikipedia logo, perhaps with a visual style reminiscent of engraving.  Just my thoughts.  --[[User:Mlpreiss|Mlpreiss]] 03:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
#'''oppose''' Looks like the globe is on a cushion, is this '''Wikifurniture'''? NOT FIERCE! [[User:Davumaya|Davumaya]] 19:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
# '''oppose''' This logo doesn't represent the multiplicity of books in wikibook. --[[User:Gdgourou|Gdgourou]] 10:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
# Change the continents on the first selection from black to green but the others just don't cut it. -- anonymous 20:52, 23 July 2008
# I like the first one (s).  Simple and clean, gets the point across.  I like the blue and white colors, and the globe is a nice touch.  As someone else mentioned, however, maybe the book should have horizontal lines to indicate pages.  I didn't notice before, but it really does kind of look like a mattress or something.

# '''Oppose all'''- Per Gdgourou comment. --[[User:Panic2k7|Panic]] 23:52, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
# I like the second one, it would be better with the logo. I think the globe represents the idea that a book it's not the work of one single man, but of all humankind.
# 1. I personally like the bright colours of the third version a lot, but to make this logo blend more with the other Wiki logos, we could use more of the colours from the second version. The shape of the book in v.3 is best, because the earth looks more hovering. To make it look more like a book, the bottom layer could have the shape of a rounded spine. Also, although I don’t think it’s necessary, the printed area on the pages could be shown as dark grey on light grey. 
# 2. For the earth, the best to use is a picture of a blue earth with clouds, like the one on this page: http://spacewatch.wordpress.com/2008/04/   It doesn’t "favour" a certain part of the world and is immediately recognizable. On the favicon, I think there should be a circle for the earth, but there just in plain blue.
# 3. To show that editing / contributing is possible, and to indicate the connection with computers, I propose to include a hand cursor icon touching the book. [[User:Geke|Geke]] 18:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
#{{Neutral}} I will support the first logo E(a) if the blue tone of the book's borders are washed out a bit more and if the globe gains a less powerful blue (as the current one clashes with the rest of the image) [[User:Booksworm|Booksworm]] 19:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
#I like this one, though I agree that it should be lighter, so as to fit in with the other wikimedia logos.  I created a variation on this logo, using the globe from the WikiNews logo, minus the lines, over a book that I made myself, using the colors from the globe.  You can see it [http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/NuckChorris/wikibooks.png here] ([http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/NuckChorris/wikibooks_16x16.png favicon]).  Either Way, I {{support}} this one.  If people like it, I can post the SVG. [[User:Nuck Chorris 0|Nuck Chorris 0]] 03:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
#{{oppose}} I think it has too much of a geographical slant: it looks to much like a logo for an atlas or news site - Wikibooks should have a logo that doesn't empahasise any one field. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]] 18:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
