What this call is about
This open call invites proposals on two closely related topics:
- the graphic charter of WikiDeal, that is, its visual identity: logo, colours, typography, page layout and general visual style;
- trademark proposals: names, signs and visual elements that could identify WikiDeal.
Visual Identity Guidelines for WikiDeal are under construction. This call aims at gathering proposals that could feed into a first simple version of the graphic charter. A good proposal shows concrete visual material (even simple sketches), explains the intent behind it, and remains usable across the wiki, the funding dashboard and printed material.
Status and timeline
This is an early bird open call, also called an open call for pioneers: it is launched before the steering committee is formed, and it is especially open to Wikimedians. Its official launch is planned for 21 July 2026, the opening day of Wikimania 2026 in Paris, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Wikipedia.
There is no deadline: the call remains open until a first simple version of the graphic charter has been adopted.
Rewards
This call offers:
- CHF 1,000 in cash, paid directly;
- CHF 10,000 in Cash Rewards (no guarantee*): a conditional claim on future subscription revenue, convertible to CHF only when the platform generates sufficient revenue.
See Rewards Explained for how WikiDeal rewards are intended to work.
How to propose
If you want to respond to this call, go to the discussion page of this call and post your proposal there. For questions, you can also write to info@wikideal.net.
Every proposal must include a full AI transparency disclosure: state which AI tools, if any, were used to prepare the proposal, and how. The general rules of the Open Call apply.
Closing condition
The call closes when a first simple version of the graphic charter is adopted by the delegates of the Ynternet.org Foundation. For the moment, the steering committee is composed of Théo Bondolfi and other committee members. It has not met yet; it intends to meet once the first donations have been received.
