Wikipedia 15 celebrates the fifteenth birthday of the birth of Wikipedia, a project which exists today in almost 300 languages and which contains more than 36 million articles. This page covers the style used during the celebration, as well as the icons and images used throughout.

Icons

edit

The icons were developed by Mule Design and released under a CC-0 licence to allow for as wide a usage as possible. Initially, the collection comprised 31 individual "marks", though communities were encouraged to develop their own with a simplified set of guidelines to follow.

The full set of icons is available on Commons, at Category:Wikipedia 15 marks.

Wordmark

edit

The Wikipedia 15 wordmark is typeset in Open Sans, a typeface originally commissioned by Google in 2010. It is freely available from Google's "Fonts" project.

"Wikipedia" is written in Open Sans Condensed Light, while "15" is written in Open Sans Bold. Should a non-Roman character set be used, a typeface in sans-serif is preferred where possible.
