Logo change wikipedia style

I was doing a paper on wikis and stumbled across an interesting logo design effort for the Wikipedia. On the left is the old logo; on the right is the new logo:

old logo; text in shape of sphere new logo; globe made of puzzle pieces

What's really interesting is how they went about changing their logo wiki-style. You can find information about the voting, the logo ratification process, among lots of others. But what's really interesting are the final logo variants -- they are already discussing alternates to the new logo. Some very slick designs there.

You might be interested in another wiki: TWiki at twiki.org. TWiki is hosted on sourceforge, but the development is totally done wiki style. You can see recent posts at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/changes/Codev. I am currently doing a design (you can't call it a re-design actually) at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/PatternSkinCodeChanges.
