Amend/Re-examine the proposal to change Super Mario Wiki's logo
Just now, a motion has passed to change the Super Mario Wiki logo. The logo change was overwhelmingly supported with a final tally of 23-1. However, I believe there is still need for discussion, and thus I am calling for a localized reopening of the proposal.

I do NOT seek to repeal the decision to change the old logo (that's why "keep the old logo" is not an option). The motion has passed fairly, and overturning it at this point would be against proposal regulations. The change will stick. This is not a nullification, it is an expansion. I feel that the proposal has failed to examine ALL factors of this debate, and thus should not be considered closed until all relevant factors have been explored.

What I am specifically talking about is that, during discussions on the forum, an alternative logo has been suggested. I've read the proposal, and this new suggestion was not considered while the vote was in progress. I therefore think the discussion is incomplete. For the proposal to cover ALL aspects of this debate, and to ensure that all information is evaluated, users should be made aware of the options they have, and then allowed to vote which logo they want to replace the old one with.

Change is inevitable, but we have not yet adequately explored which direction we want to change in.

Switch to Logo #1

 * 1) I think it's best to stick with the proposed logo from before. To rephrase what Eldritchdraaks said in the previous proposal, the new logo symbolizes the Mushroom Kingdom, in a similar way that the wiki covers all things Mario-related, including Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Wario games, not just Mario's. The alternative logo just makes it look like we cover just material with Mario in it, not all things Mario-related. In all, I'm going to have to oppose the other design and go with this one.
 * 2) Per Owencrazyboy9.

Switch to Logo #2

 * 1) - The alternative logo is visually more interesting, as it provides a nice color contrast instead of just being uniformly red.
 * 2) honestly the new logo looks visually uninteresting. I agree that the old logo was a bit of a mess, but this new logo is on the opposite end of the spectrum; too simple. logo #2 provides a good compromise in my opinion.

Comments
If is willing to create more skins (themes), why not just have each theme have a different logo? I would go as far as creating a "night" theme (dark color scheme). -- 19:22, 1 February 2017 (EST)
