The new one looks very fake, despite being real. :) In Germany, we have a famous children's TV show called "Löwenzahn". It starts with a time lapse sequence of a dandelion flower breaking its way through the asphalt. This is what I've always associated with the MediaWiki logo, technology (brackets) being merely the basis for the growth of something wild and beautiful which transcends it. However, in that symbolism, I would prefer the wildness to be even more visible, with perhaps a different perspective on the flower, or some visible breakthrough. When I saw the flower on Commons, I was impressed by how much energy it radiates. It strikes me as an appropriate symbol of strength and maturity, hence also the transition from the old slogan "ideas want to be free" to "power for your ideas".
