Convential bike-circle feel
Rationale
The bike circle logo works well in a variety of sizes and colors. It's flexible, and we can do something 'special' to make it look different in this context. It would also emphasize our Davis-y roots in a subtle way. It has meaning because of this. The downside is that it might seem a bit uncreative because we're using something we already have.
Multi-colored arrows

see Macintosh Wiki to check it out in action. I'm still working on it, any comments or suggestions would be helpful. I'm in favor of keeping the bike circle logo over this one. The only things I was trying out here were more of a reference to information coming in from many sources, while sticking with a circle and arrows motif. I played around with having the arrows "round in" and some other varients, but it is much busier than the bike circle logo. —JasonAller
Further ideas
By Kevin Liu:
Web 2.0
This could be a useful varient, but not as main logo. It won't scale or print well on a wide enough range of materials. —JasonAller

This emphasizes the knowledge we will be amassing on Wiki Spot.
This one is a little more up front about it.

Pigiarniq Heavy
I think that the lighter blue (ccddff) is better when over black, but the darker blue (7799cc) is best when over white?
Two color
Thoughts on this one?
I dig the two-color. It's got my vote. —GrahamFreeman
The two-color Pigiarniq-Heavy is quite attractive. I particularly like the way the ccddff looks over black. Nice and clean. —ReidSerozi
Here's a SVG of the two-color logo: two_color_working_draft.svg
Here is a slightly modified version that has a slight outline over the figures to look better over white.
I think this ends up looking slightly worse, actually. —PhilipNeustrom

Discussion
I uploaded one of the Pigiarniq-Heavy logos as the logo for this wiki. It's by no means even semi-final, but I just wanted to put it up to get suggestions and comments. —PhilipNeustrom
