I noticed you uploaded a 3D version of Mergefrom.gif overtop the old flat type. As a courtesy, I've reverted the change, at least for the meanwhile, as I'm unaware of any consensus to change the logo. I admire your creativity, as well as your willingness to be bold, but typically when a different version of an image is to be uploaded, unless there is consensus otherwise, it should be uploaded under a different name, Mergefrom3D.gif for example, which can then be proposed as an alternative. Typically we like simple graphics to be "flat", that is, using very basic colors, shapes, and others, which is why the Mergefrom arrows are so nicely done (take, for example, the Commons logo). This is done for a number of reasons, but mostly, it takes slower connections less time to load, it can be viewed much easier on older computers, and it looks more professional. If I am in the wrong about something here, I appologize, but I invite your comments at my Wikipedia User talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Mysekurity 05:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
