[[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

[[File:SriLanka Elephants (pixinn.net).jpg|center|275px]]
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.

Over time, we’ve expanded the elements that make up
</center>
our visual identity.

We began with two simple elements, the puzzle globe
and the wordmark, which together constitute the unified
mark. Two additional elements, the puzzle icon and the
W icon, have been proposed to serve specific situations
— including digital implementations and design situations
with space constraints.

Each element of the Wikipedia identity has been carefully
designed to function both independently and when
united, collectively echoing the core identity of Wikipedia.

Traditionally the unified mark is used to identify Wikipedia
in situations where the puzzle globe alone may not be
sufficient to represent the project.


The wordmark is the most desirable variant of the
official marks for clearly communicating the presence of
Wikipedia, whether through the indication of Wikipedia’s
actual content, the presence of Wikipedia volunteers and
supporters, or to indicate the participation or partnership
of Wikipedia with an institution or project.

In situations where the classic top and bottom
configuration of the unified mark are not conventional, the
horizontal version can be used.

The puzzle globe is a fully 3D object rendered as a flat
image for design purposes. The ‘hero’ rendering of the
puzzle globe is the digital photograph of the 3D object
that most closely approximates the original puzzle globe
shape

The puzzle globe does not reflect all of the languages
and scripts of Wikipedia. The projects are available in
over 270 languages. The puzzle globe reflects roughly
61 different scripts. There are no specific parameters for
which languages appear in the puzzle globe; however,
only languages or scripts with corresponding Wikipedia
projects are included.

The hero version of the puzzle globe shows characters
from 18 language sets:

Armenian
Khmer
Japanese (Katakana)

Bengali
Greek
Latin
Arabic
Devanagari
Traditional Chinese
