Tweaked logo
I took the logo and removed most of the big white block. Since I didn't have the original file the edges were a little grainy, so I added a white glow to hide that. I think it looks pretty decent. If you want to try it you can just put in Special:Mypage/monaco.css. If you like it, reupload the image at File:Wiki.png.
 * 1) wiki_logo { background-image: url(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100703111609/sims/images/f/f5/Wiki_new.png) !important; }

Also, while we're tweaking stuff, could you find this in MediaWiki:Monaco.css .color2 { background:#64B668 url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/2/26/Background.png) repeat scroll 0 0; } and replace it with this? body { background:#64B668 url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/2/26/Background.png) repeat scroll 0 0; } .color2 { background-color:#64B668; } There should be no visible change for most of you, just for those of us that have special margins and etc (in my case in wikia:User:Ose/global.css). The only thing that changes is that the Wikia header becomes transparent and shows the background of what is behind it (the page body), instead of it having the same background sitting on top of the body.

 * 1) wikia_header { background:transparent; }
 * I'm testing out the logo myself as you suggested. You did a good job but I'm not sure about it on the background but it'll grow on me. I might put the finally decision to a vote. (I have also made the changes you suggested regarding the background). --a_morris (talk) 15:34, July 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The small white edges that this preview has is definately needed. Without them I think the colors would clash with the background and the logo would be messy. This version works I guess. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 11:44, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can also put this in Monaco.css:


 * 1) background_strip { background: #FFF }
 * Then the white logo has also a white background. Dennyboy1997 06:49, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been sporting this tweaked logo for some days now and I like. It's definately an improvement over the blocky white background of the original one. I saw we call it to a vote. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 12:14, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I like it too, now. --a_morris (talk) 22:47, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since individual users can add this transparent version to their user settings, perhaps we should have a vote on whether it should be standard? Should the vote fail, those favoring the transparent one can always add it manually. How long should the vote go on for? Duskey ( talk ) 14:54, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Vote
Should we change the default logo to the one without the white background?

Agree

 * 1) I think it looks much nicer without the white background. Duskey ( talk ) 08:24, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) At first, I didn't like it without the background. Now, I cringe whenever I see that giant white box. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:59, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I always prefer transparent images! They are much more good looking that the old white box ones. ---   Rodrigo  X    10:59, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
