It's also worth keeping in mind that making a bigger search box on wikipedia isn't going to make the wikipedia search function work better.
At the minute Google is better at searching wikipedia than wikipedia is.
A huge feature that works badly is still a bad feature

It shows the same old site for me.

^ Best bit about Wikipedia. Redesign is a complete failure without this

Typographically speaking, the W they chose as the logo is awkward and not really ideal as a standalone grapheme. It belongs more as part of something else.
From a branding perspective I saw little that addresses the nature of information, or the desire to become a public resource.
- were you really pleased you got to use the word 'grapheme' ?fadein11

ETM – eBooks are selling fast too, does that mean paper books should be typeset like ebooks?

Can we please stop using a spectrum of colours to represent the many spokes of a brand.
It's lazy as fuck
- who doesn't like color? what would you suggest? i'm curiousdoesnotexist
- something a little deeper than "durrrr each dept is a different colour"animatedgif

i think it's great.

^ this is what the tabs over there > are for

^ I don't disagree, but it seems that tablets have suddenly become the baseline.
- tOki0
^ No, design with a single form factor in mind has to stop.
Embrace responsive design :)

It's been redesigned with tablets in mind, which means it wastes as much space as possible so things are big enough and spaced out enough for fingers to poke. Design-for-tablets has to stop.
There are some good ideas here though.
The WikiMedia logo is not one of them, however.
