Official WordPress Logos and Fan Art

I know that Matt Mullenweg and Matt Thomas die a little each time they see WordPress fan art that uses a faux logo. I only notice the chubby W because I’ve been edumacated.

MT (the real) has updated WordPress.org/about/buttons with official WordPress logos in pngs and vector image formats.

There are also WordPress desktop wall paper in various official colors and sizes. The official WordPress colors are given in a variety of code systems. Pantone 7468 anyone?

Fan Art

The fan art page could use some fresh contributions.

These naturalized WordPress logos would be nice additions:

One or more of the WordPress Malaysia Independence Logos by Avijit Paul. My favorite are the one’s with the flower for the O:

What is your favorite WordPress art?

Lorelle’s category icons are brilliant. For example, she uses this image for WordPress News:

Anyone know the creator of this popular images?

Halo WordPress Logo

Same day correction: previously the article suggested the font is Dante, but both Matts have come to my rescue. It used to be the WordPress logo font. When Jason Santa Maria designed the new logo a few years ago, he chose the lovely Mrs. Eaves.

Adam Freetly identified the creator of the “lens flare” logo as being Dan Philibin.

WordPress "Lens Flare" Logo by Dan Philibin

March 7th, 2010 update: I asked Matt Thomas what font is used on the “W” logo. “It does appear that Jason Santa Maria used Dante for the “W” logo. It’s clearly been heavily modified; no shipping version of Dante has the vertical proportions that our logo does. But yep — when they created the new logo, they kept a little vestige of Dante around. Maybe it’s a good luck charm. :)

    Thanks for the write-up, Lloyd! Just one thing — Dante used to be the WordPress logo font. When Jason Santa Maria designed the new logo a few years ago, he chose the lovely Mrs. Eaves.

    The old WP logo was Dante, the new one is Mrs. Eaves. Maybe we should add a link to Fonts.com from that page?

  7. Ria Jose says:

    Second time Andrew dela Serna’s logo and design are featured here. Thank you sooo much! :)

    from my point of view, the last one is the best

  9. Saw the last one on Smashing Magazine too. Followed the tutorial because the general tips are so useful for making a very slick piece of work out of any roughly circular logo or object. Great concept!

    WordPress Pinoy Camp is simply great… any Filipino can understand that. great job Andrew dela Serna…

  11. You just gave me an idea – make the W in a stylized flame. I don’t know how to do that yet – but I’ll give it a try and send it to you if it turns out.

    To be honest I think they should open their doors and welcome submissions from fans – have always hated the WordPress logo – feels like something you’d find in a 1950s suburban library.
