Congratulations to my friends at AboutUs, who've just announced that they have a new logo. I think their old logo, the listening man, was a little too literal. Good to see a nice new look on this great community site.

Speaking of graphic design and UI on wikis... Jet lag and deadlines had me working late into night in Taipei last week at Wikimania 2007. I really wanted to get Keiki ready for people to look at by the time for my presentation. The other people up at this time were folks from Wikia, working to get their new QuartzSlate skin ready for lease.
I think this is a beautiful skin and a nice UI. And it's another piece of convincing evidence that you can make a usable, enjoyable Web site from MediaWiki. An MW site doesn't have to be just the MonoBook skin plus a logo in the upper-left corner. I'm glad to see people breaking the mold.

Wooooooow
Speaking of redesigns (and I don't know why I started, actually), Vu d'ici, m-c turgeon's blog, is looking fan-effing-tastic. It's always a good read, and now it's prettier, too.
