disappointing. I'd have preferred a mushroom cloud or a hobo wearing a sign--User:Brxbrx/sig 20:31, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

How about this? Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes! But I don't think we could stylize it properly to fit in with the other icons.--User:Brxbrx/sig 20:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
No need to stylise, just use it. Scarlet A.pngbomination 01:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
But most of our other nav icons have this kitschy deco look.--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

It's a clock, and a clock doesn't say "doomsday." While I don't necessarily like all the minimalist logos (the denialism logo is particularly hard to discern), if we're going to be consistent, then a simple mushroom cloud logo will do.

Well, it's a reference to the Doomsday Clock, if that helps. I'm actually coming around to thinking not so much a WIGO as a WIGO archive specifically of 2012 related posts and news items. So you don't need the kitschy icons for that. Scarlet A.pngsshole 03:07, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I know. But the fact that you felt the need to explain what it is bespeaks its failure as a logo. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 03:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
