This page will coordinate an art contest, Inkipedia Logo Contest 2022. The goal is to have fun and to potentially replace the Inkipedia logo. There will be a feedback round, then a vote to determine the contest winner. Afterwards, a final vote will have the contest winning logo compete against the current logo.

Why replace the Inkipedia logo? Because of the source of the logo, and because technical requirements are changing for logos on MediaWiki wikis, and because almost everyone agreed to the idea.

Current phase: The contest has concluded!

Congratulations to ninckvinny, creator of the winning proposal, Proposal 7!

Thank you to all the talented artists who submitted art and thank you to all the Inkipedians who shared their opinion and shaped the outcome of the contest every step of the way! Feel free to use the contest talk page to discuss the outcome!
