History of the H+Pedia logo

July 2015

An initial placeholder logo was created by David Wood on 17 July 2015. This incorporated elements of Humanity+ branding:

October 2015

A new placeholder logo was put in place in October 2015, removing the distinctive Humanity+ 'h+' symbol, since at that time, it was unclear to what extent H+Pedia would become an official project of Humanity+.

Shortly afterwards, a "favicon" based on the same design was introduced for the first time for the site:

Note: the actual favicon used is a shrunk-down version of this logo.
