Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark localization guide
This guide is intended for project volunteers who wish to construct localized versions of the new Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark combination, specifically to replace previous versions on all language editions of Wikipedia.
Following the introduction of the Wikipedia puzzle globe, the Foundation's usability team revisited the construction of localized versions of the Wikipedia wordmark (the stylized version of the word Wikipedia (with upper case W and A, and the tagline underneath the wordmark: "The free encyclopedia."
Together, the wordmark and puzzle globe form the most visible brand identifier for Wikipedia in all of our languages.
In order to facilitate localization of the wordmark across hundreds of different languages, including dozens of character set varieties, the usability team introduced the use of the open source typeface to replace the proprietary typeface Hoeffler for low-resolution, screen-based implementations of the Wikipedia wordmark. New customizations of the Wikipedia wordmark and puzzle globe can be stored on the Wikimedia Commons, where they will be permanently stored and used in the standard Wikipedia style sheet.
Volunteers and project contributors who wish to construct localized, non-English versions of the Wikipedia wordmark and puzzle globe can use this guide to construct localized versions of the Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark for use on different language editions of Wikipedia.
A full gallery of all variations of the Wikipedia wordmark, in both PNG and SVG formats can be found on the Wikimedia Commons.
Getting started
The current, official, SVG version of the English Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark can be used to construct localized versions of the mark.
- Wikipedia-logo-v2-en_SVG.svg (SVG format)
The official type face for creating localized versions of the Wikipedia wordmark is Linux Libertine.
- Linux Libertine, from linuxlibertine.org (files and licenses)
You can use Inkscape, the opensource illustration software to create the new puzzle globe and wordmark file. You can also use commercial software, such as Adobe Illustrator.
Use the grid below to precisely position the localized variants of the Wikipedia workdmark and the 'Free encyclopedia' tagline underneath.
