This page is not the official list of logos used for Wikipedia. It is a worksheet (to be edited or completed manually and not by bots) that allows performing fast lookup of such logos or variants, as they are currently stored on Wikimedia Commons, and performing a visual validation according to the public recommendations (and then making the necessary fixes or additions). Some logos exist that are not even mapped to an existing Wikipedia edition (or that edition has been closed or merged/moved to another wiki).

Design notes[edit]

Graphical design and typography:

  • All PNG logos (displayed at top of the lateral side bar) should have a native size of 135x155 pixels. SVG logos should be natively scalable to that size, keeping the aspect ratio (ideally this is easy to setup in SVG files in their root element).
  • The globe puzzle logo is standardized in terms of design, colors, choice of letters on the puzzle pieces. However for some languages it may be necessary to reduce its size and placement to make the wordmark and moto readable.
  • There are recommandations for the choice of free fonts to render either the "WIKIPEDIA" wordmark or its translation or transliteration, or the moto written in smaller size after it (usually below the wordmark, except for vertical scripts).

File naming:

  • Several legacy language codes are incorrectly used for Wikimedia interwiki prefixes and domain names, and are in progress to be converted to standard BCP 47 codes, based on 2-letter language codes from ISO 639-1 if possible (and not mapped to a language family), otherwise on 3-letter codes from ISO 639-2/T or ISO 639-3 (language family codes from ISO 639-5 should not be used); optional code extensions appended after an hyphen (-) should be registered in the IANA database, and may consist of the following codes in the following order: a 4-letter script code from ISO 15924, a 2-letter region code from ISO 3166-1), one or several 3-letter "extlang" codes (registered, but legacy, newer 3-letter language codes from ISO 639-3 should be used instead without any prefixed).
  • The BCP 47 standard is already enforced in Wikidata for translatable texts in item labels, descriptions, and multilingual values of item properties (legacy interwiki codes are only used for interwiki links registered in these items; but values of properties containing URLs are unchecked because the mapping depends on target sites having their own local rules).
  • As all codes have non-significant letter case in BCP 47, ISO 639, ISO 3166, ISO 15924, labels of Internet domain names, and interwiki prefixes on Wikimedia wikis based on MediaWiki, they should be normalized to lowercase only (this is still not the case for legacy logos on Commons, which have been sometimes created using language names rather than language codes, or have been named ambiguously or without indication of the language, or incorrectly with the incorrect name or with typos not indicating the language).
  • Several versions exist in the two recommended formats: PNG and SVG, the version number of the Wikipedia design specifications should be indicated on files stored on Commons.

The actual image of the logo rendered at top of the lateral navigation bar (and in "favicons" rendered in window captions by web browsers or in "favorites/bookmarks" links in desktop environments) will locally use the same internal names across all wikis in all languages, according rules of their default "skins". Those images hosted on Wikimedia wiki servers can only be changed by their administrators, by making a request on Phabricator after getting approval by the local community of the wiki and by the Wikimedia Foundation (notably in terms of copyright and licencing conditions).

Wikipedia logos[edit]

The list below is sorted by language code (standard code according to BCP 47, or legacy code used as a Wikimedia interwiki prefix, or as a label in Wikimedia domain names, or in internal database codes), version/variant, and format (PNG or SVG). Some versions/variants and formats may not exist for all languages, and will show expected red links. The list below is also incomplete (as new codes are regularly added).
As well some language codes may have several known aliases, not supported everywhere in Wikimedia sites. The standardization of legacy codes is a long-term job since many years, requiring patience and lot of checks and community work on the wiki contents (including fixing templates, modules, or tools in order to allow a transition as smooth as possible without breaking the content); this work may also depend on decisions and actions by administrators and developers approved by the Wikimedia Foundation, and may require discussions with the community (notably for external tools and bots not hosted or managed directly by the Foundation but operated by authorized users).
So please don't remove files showing red links in the gallery below (not before the associated language code or variant is no longer relevant at all in any version and format, and all the needed work is fully completed): make the necessary changes elsewhere.
