[[Wikipedia Zero]] is a project by the Wikimedia Foundation to provide mobile access, free of data charges, to Wikipedia for people in emerging countries. The Wikimedia Foundation partners with mobile operators to allow for free access to Wikipedia in English as well as local languages. The goal of Wikipedia Zero is to reduce barriers to information, furthering our vision of a world in which every single person on the planet can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. |

|||
Wikipedia is a precious, shared resource, used |
|||
around the world by millions of people every day. |
|||
We created these guidelines to help authorized |
|||
re-users of the Wikimedia Foundation’s official |
|||
marks, including Wikipedia, represent our identity |
|||
in a way that is consistent with the quality, impact, |
|||
and importance of our projects. |
|||
The Wikimedia Foundation marks represent much |
|||
of what our projects and our movement stands for: |
|||
bold ideas, global collaboration, typography and |
|||
text, integrity and quality. We ask that everyone |
|||
who has permission to use these marks keep those |
|||
values in mind. Using these marks well is a serious |
|||
responsibility. |
|||
All of the assets referenced in this guide can be |
|||
found on the Wikimedia Foundation’s website, at |
|||
[[Wikimedia visual identity guidelines]] |

|||
<span id="toc-about"></span> |
|||
The distinctive Wikipedia identity has evolved over |
|||
the years since it was introduced in 2003 following |
|||
a volunteer competition to find a distinctive mark to |
|||
represent Wikipedia. User Paul Stansifer proposed |
|||
the original design of the globe in 2003, and shortly |
|||
afterwards fellow Wikipedian David Friedland made |
|||
considerable improvements to its styling and puzzle |
|||
pieces. |
|||
Since it was originally introduced, the puzzle globe |
|||
has undergone a series of small changes — mostly |
|||
adjustments to correct the choice of other characters |
|||
representing the first character of the word ‘Wikipedia’ |
|||
in various languages. At one point the puzzle globe |
|||
included a Klingon alphabet character. In May 2010, the |
|||
Wikimedia Foundation introduced a revised version of the |
|||
Wikipedia puzzle globe that included corrected characters |
|||
and a mapping of characters on the reverse of the puzzle |
|||
globe, all based on a full 3D rendering of the puzzle globe |
|||
object. |
|||
The puzzle globe typically accompanies the Wikipedia |
|||
wordmark, originally set in Hoefler, but recently updated |
|||
to Linux Libertine, an opensource typeface, to facilitate |
|||
easier localization of the wordmark in new language |
|||
editions of the project. Together, we refer to this as the |
|||
unified mark. |
|||
Online, at wikipedia.org, the wordmark always includes |
|||
a descriptor ‘The Free Encyclopedia,’ which is translated |
|||
into the language of each project. |
|||
You can read more about the history of the marks here |
|||
