A little bit of discussion went on [http://pikminfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:NIWA_and_Us here], and we ended up with this one, initially on a temporary basis.  I quite like it for its simplicity, though, and those I've talked to do too.  I played around a bit with adding text to it (ignore the lazy bits) (yeah, I went a bit crazy):

So, there are three clear options:

*keep the current one
*add text to the current one
*create a new one

:I like 5. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}
:Keep this one. Actually Like it without any text. For places where we might need one with text, first one.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

::I like either 1 or 7, though out of the two I think I prefer 7. Green, could you try one similar to that with outlines the same color as the flower? Similar to what I suggested before, but without the stretching, which I agree kinda looked bad. We can try one with text for the top of the page, but I also kind of agree with what Prez said too. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 17:01, 13 October 2010 (EDT)

:::Just edited your choices with the numbers for ease later on (Prez's doesn't need it).  JJ, see 9.  I think I might prefer 7 because of how it stands out a bit more - maybe something in-between would be best.  So one of those is my choice.

:::Just created 10: a little like 5, which Vol liked, but with the bit of a border the flower has. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

::::9. {{User|Bulborb63}}

6 is good. I think we need a logo that reflects the games. this one does it the best. The flower reflects the wildlife and the pikmin themselves, and the font shows the fun nature of the games. [[User:Loafy the Breadbug|Loafy the Breadbug]]

:I think number '''7''' is the best choice. Having the text overlaid looks better to me, and this one is the clearest to read. [[User:Adam|Adam]] 14:03, 24 October 2010 (EDT)

Well, after quite a while, 7 is the most popular choice.  I'll get it up here and distributed wherever. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

==Favicon==
For those that don't know, this is small icon that shows up in various places for the site: when bookmarked, in tabs, maybe somewhere around the URL bar or window title depending on the browser.  The current one was put in place by, I guess, Porplemontage, based on the current logo.  Again, three options:

*keep the current one (http://www.pikminwiki.com/favicon.ico, though I'd redo it for cleaner borders)
*use the old one (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080404143211/pikmin/images/6/64/Favicon.ico)
*create a new one

Thoughts?  I like either of the two we've had, the leaf maybe a little more. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

:I like the old favicon. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}

::Old.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

:I don't know... The new one is a bit more... 'official'. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', the [[Bacopa Cabana]] is used to represent the Pikmin series ([http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Icon read more]). The old one is also pretty cool. So I'm not sure...

It seems the overall consensus is towards the leaf, so far.  If nothing changes in a couple of days, I'll get it updated.  And that would be the better choice for other uses of a smaller image, right?  At the equivalent of [[Template:NIWA]] at other wikis, and in the banner at the top of [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/ NIWA forums]? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
