Description James Forrester 2013-06-11 22:02:26 UTC
Labs has one; why can't Bugzilla? :-)
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2013-06-11 22:11:44 UTC
Patches welcome. :)
Comment 2 Tomasz W. Kozlowski 2013-06-12 21:44:42 UTC
Just don't forget to add 'shellpolicy' when a patch is created :-)
Comment 3 MZMcBride 2013-07-01 04:13:17 UTC
Is the Bugzilla bug (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/skins/contrib/Wikimedia/images/bugzilla-logo.png>) usable in a redesigned logo? I think the bug is kind of cute and might be nice to retain, but I'm unsure of its license status.
Comment 4 Andre Klapper 2013-07-01 09:20:44 UTC
Cannot find that specific image somewhere upstream bug only mugshots, the mugshots are MPL though. Bugzilla's Dave Shea might know.

Deploying this could certainly motivate people to replace it with something that's not crappy. ;)

Comment 7 Andre Klapper 2013-08-16 15:20:53 UTC
That was quick. :P   +1 for the logo in comment 6. 
I wonder if there's any process defined (and policy/trademark guidelines).
Comment 8 Ariel T. Glenn 2013-08-16 15:24:05 UTC
prolly gotta ask legal. +1 from me also for the comment 6 logo.
Comment 9 Greg Grossmeier 2013-08-16 16:32:00 UTC
Man o man if legal approves I want the logo in comment 6 as well!

Cute. :-)

Can someone e-mail legal@wikimedia.org (or Michelle or Luis directly) about whether this would be acceptable to use?
Comment 11 Andre Klapper 2013-08-19 23:54:44 UTC
I contacted Yana as per https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/LCA_Corner#Legal_Team
Comment 12 Andre Klapper 2013-08-20 10:24:37 UTC
Yana wrote that it unfortunately violates
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Visual_identity_guidelines#toc-donot 
"by having added elements to a Wikimedia trademark. 
It would be nice if the logo for bugzilla would be a little more distinctive from the wikimedia mark, e.g. something like this <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_beetle.svg> "
Comment 13 Connor Shea 2014-03-03 05:34:48 UTC
How about a fly swatter for the basis of the icon?
Comment 14 Connor Shea 2014-03-03 23:27:15 UTC
Out of curiousity, would we legally be able to continue utilizing the "bugzilla" name if we were to change the logo?

A mockup of a potential logo for Wikimedia's Bugzilla using a fly swatter. Very rough draft.

I've made a quick mockup of the "fly swatter" logo I was thinking of. I realize it's very rough, the coloring doesn't work very well and the dots on the swatter look very rough, perhaps it'd be better to remove them completely. The differentiation between the handle and the rest of the object isn't nearly as smooth as I'd like. Again, though, it's a rough draft.

The font used is Gill Sans, same as Wikimedia, Wikimedia Commons, and other WMF projects. If you'd like me to upload it in a different file extension format I'll gladly do so.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Oh oh, sorry this took so long. :(
In the meantime there has been a RfC resulting in planning to move away from Bugzilla. See [[mw:Phabricator]] for more information. 
Hence this has low priority; I would not recommend to invest time here anymore, as Wikimedia Bugzilla will vanish at some point (and with it its logo).
